Achieve a Youthful, Refined Neckline With an Expert Neck Lift in Marin County

A long, smooth, and elegant neck has always been a hallmark of beauty and sophistication for both men and women. If you glance through high-end fashion magazines, you'll notice that the most striking models are often adorned with jewelry that accentuates their sleek, slender necks. Indeed, a refined neck is a key element of a youthful, vibrant appearance. Unfortunately, the neck is one of the first areas to exhibit signs of aging. Over time, fine lines may appear, the texture of the skin can become rough or uneven, and gravity may cause the skin to sag. Fortunately, these concerns can be effectively addressed with a neck lift, offering long-lasting rejuvenation. Aesthetx provides neck lift surgery in Marin County for those looking to eliminate the common issues of a "turkey neck" or double chin, restoring a youthful and elegant neckline.

What Is a Neck Lift?

Known medically as a lower rhytidectomy, a neck lift is a surgical procedure designed to reduce visible signs of aging along the neck and jawline. The procedure works by tightening loose skin, correcting abnormal contours caused by muscle banding, and removing excess skin and fat that contribute to the appearance of jowls. Given that a neck lift is a significant surgical procedure, proper preparation is crucial to achieving a successful outcome. A comprehensive consultation with our lead surgeon, Dr. Zeidler, will provide you with detailed information and instructions to prepare for your surgery. During this consultation, you will undergo a thorough medical evaluation, allowing us to create a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and aesthetic goals.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for a Neck Lift in Marin County?

Determining whether you are a suitable candidate for neck lift surgery in Marin County at Aesthetx begins with an in-depth consultation with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons. During this consultation, you'll have the opportunity to discuss your aesthetic goals and medical history in detail.

Typically, a neck lift is ideal for individuals experiencing loose, excess skin on the neck due to aging, significant weight loss, or genetic factors. The following are some of the qualifications that may make you a good candidate for this procedure:

  • You are in good overall health, without any medical conditions that could increase surgical risks or hinder the healing process.
  • You are a non-smoker.
  • You have realistic expectations about the outcome of the surgery.

It is essential to be completely transparent about your medical history and aesthetic aspirations during your consultation to ensure that the surgery aligns with your goals.

The Neck Lift Procedure

A neck lift surgery generally takes between two to three hours to complete. Before the surgery begins, Dr. Zeidler will carefully prepare the treatment area and administer anesthesia. Depending on your specific case, this could be either local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. The scope of the neck lift procedure varies based on your unique needs and desired outcomes. 

Our skilled surgeons in Marin County utilize advanced techniques to ensure minimal scarring and a quicker recovery time. Small incisions are strategically placed to allow the removal of excess fat, either through liposuction or surgical excision. In some cases, the neck muscles are tightened, and a portion of the platysma muscle may be removed or divided to create a smoother contour.

Once the necessary adjustments have been made, the skin is gently pulled taut, excess skin is trimmed away, and the incisions are closed using a combination of dissolvable sutures and skin adhesive. To enhance healing and reduce recovery time, Dr. Zeidler often incorporates platelet-rich plasma (PRP) derived from your own blood to minimize bruising and swelling.

Recovery After a Neck Lift

As with any surgical procedure, proper post-operative care is essential for a smooth recovery. Most patients will need to take at least one to two weeks off from work and other activities to allow for healing. When you return to work, it's important to limit your activities to those that are not physically demanding. Heavy lifting and strenuous exercise should be avoided during the initial recovery phase.

It is normal to experience some pain, bruising, and swelling in the days following your neck lift surgery. Dr. Zeidler will provide you with a comprehensive set of post-operative care instructions to help ensure a smooth recovery process. The full results of your neck lift will become more apparent as the bruising and swelling subside, revealing a more youthful and defined neck contour.
