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.
How long will a Neck Lift procedure take?
The neck lift surgery takes approximately two hours with an additional two hours of recovery time before leaving the surgery center.
How much recovery time should I expect after my procedure?
Depending on your profession and need for personal discretion, you may need to allow seven to 21 days for neck muscles to heal before returning to work. Full results are expected within three months.
