Neck Lift in Reno, Sparks & Hidden Valley, NV Reno NV

Q: What is the best age for a neck lift?

There is no “right” age for a neck lift since everyone ages differently. Most patients are between the ages of 45-65 with moderate to severe wrinkling, loose skin, and jowling.

Q: Who is not a good candidate for neck lift surgery?

Patients who have underlying health conditions like bleeding problems, heart problems, or chronic illness might not be good candidates for a neck lift. Patients should also be non-smokers or committed to stopping smoking for at least six weeks before and after surgery.

Q: How long does a neck lift last?

Neck lift patients can enjoy their results for ten years or more, depending on how quickly their skin ages. Avoiding sun damage, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and using high-quality skincare with anti-aging ingredients can help you maintain your results.

Q: Is a neck lift obvious?

Patients are understandably concerned about an overly tight or pulled-back appearance after facelift and neck lift procedures. Dr. Janiga is a highly trained plastic surgeon who uses advanced surgical techniques to create natural-looking results.

Q: Are you awake for a neck lift?

There are mini lift procedures done under sedation while you are awake and full lift procedures done under general anesthesia. After you meet with Dr. Janiga the two of you will determine the best option based on your desired results and anatomy.

What is a Neck Lift?

One of the early signs of facial aging begins in the neck. Loose skin and excess fat become more prominent and sagging skin accumulates underneath the chin and in the neck. Over time, individuals’ neck skin shows more signs of aging as excess skin and fat create a poorly defined jawline, double chin, and an aged appearance. This procedure will tighten the skin and soft tissue of the neck and jaw line creating a more youthful appearance. Often, a surgical procedure, the neck lift, is performed in conjunction with a facelift, brow lift or eyelid lift so that results are far more comprehensive. By combining approaches, patients can enjoy an enhanced look that achieves more than just neck contouring.
