A neck that is long, smooth, and elegant has always been a highly coveted feature for both men and women.

Neck Lift at Aesthetx

The neck is often one of the first areas where the signs of aging appear: Fine lines begin to form, skin texture begins to roughen up or becomes uneven, and as gravity takes effect, the skin begins to sag. Thankfully, these are the issues that a neck lift can correct with lasting results.

Aesthetx offers neck lifts as a surgical option for patients who want to get rid of the infamous turkey neck and a double chin.

Neck Lift at a Glance

Also called lower rhytidectomy, neck lift is a surgical procedure that reduces or improves signs of aging found in the neck and jawline. It tightens loose skin, improves abnormal contours due to the banding of the neck muscles, as well as removes excess skin and fat that create jowls in the neck. As the neck lift is a major invasive surgery, preparations are key to make your surgery a success.

A consultation with our top surgeon, Dr. Zeidler, will give you in-depth information and instructions to help you prepare for your surgery. You will also have a thorough medical evaluation so they can design a customized treatment plan suitable for your needs and desired goals.

Ideal Candidate for a Neck Lift

An in-depth medical consultation with our board-certified plastic surgeon will let you know whether you are qualified for a neck lift surgery or not.

In general, neck lift is suitable for individuals who have loose, excess skin on the neck due to aging, weight loss or genetics. The following are factors that may qualify you for a neck lift surgery as well:

Good overall health with no medical conditions that increase risks or impair healing
Non-smokers
Realistic expectations

During your consultation, it is crucial that you disclose your full medical history and be honest and clear about your aesthetic desires.

Neck Lift Procedure

The entire neck lift surgery generally lasts two to three hours. Before the start of the surgery, Dr. Zeidler will prep the treatment area. The doctor will also administer anesthesia, which could either be local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia.

The scope of the neck lift procedure varies depending on your unique needs and desired goals.

Our surgeons at Aesthetx use modern techniques to perform the procedure, so there will only be small incisions for minimal scarring and fast healing time. Through the incisions, the doctor will remove excess fat through either liposuction or surgical excision. In some cases, slack muscles are tightened, and a section of the platysma muscle in the neck is either divided or removed. Once the necessary work is completed, the skin will be pulled taut, excess skin removed, and the incisions closed with a combination of dissolving sutures and skin glue. Dr. Zeidler uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) , a concentrated solution of healing factors taken from a sample of your own blood, to jump-start the healing process, minimize bruising and swelling, and reduce the recovery time.

Neck Lift Recovery

Like any surgery procedure, you will need to take some time off to help you recover. Generally, you will need to take at least one to two weeks to recover.

Upon returning to work, it is advisable to limit activities to less strenuous ones, and avoid lifting heavy objects or playing sports. Pain, bruising, and swelling is normal in the first few days after the neck lift surgery.

Dr. Zeidler will provide you with post-operative care and recovery instructions to ensure that you will heal properly. The results of your neck lift will be visible once the bruising and swelling subside.
