What is a Neck Lift?
Neck lifts, also known as a lower rhytidectomy, focus on improving the jawline and neck’s appearance. Some individuals will opt for a neck lift if they feel that they are not ready for a traditional facelift. A neck lift can improve the appearance of excess, loose, and aging skin on the neck, banding of the neck muscles and excess fat deposits would be addressed by neck liposuction, which can accopmany a neck lift procedure.
Who is a Candidate for a Neck Lift?
If you are a healthy individual and have a realistic expectation for your neck lift, you may be a candidate. There are many factors that may cause the diminishing appearance of a youthful neck contour, including skin aging, genetics, gravity, and even stress. Discussing your aesthetic goals during your consultation with Dr. Howland will determine your candidacy.
What to Expect
Depending on your desired results, your neck lift could include a traditional neck lift incision or limited neck lift incisions. The traditional method often starts at the hairline and runs down around the ear to the posterior hair. Limited incisions, use a small incision which will be recommended if applicable for decreased scarring and quicker healing time.
Once the neck lift incisions are made, Dr. Howland carefully redistributes or sculpts the underlying tissue and fat during the neck contouring phase of the procedure. Additionally, platysma muscles are generally tightened to smooth the full length of the neck. After the removal of excess skin and fat of the neck, sutures close the incisions for proper healing.
Neck Lift Results
You will notice the more youthful appearance of your newly contoured neck immediately after surgery, however, you will most likely experience some bruising and swelling from surgery. It may take up to 2 months for your results to finally heal and be admired after your neck lift recovery. You should also feel a sense of increased confidence, and optimal results. It’s important to maintain this new, youthful look with a proper skin care and sun protection regimen to help keep your appearance refreshed. You will also be advised to keep your head elevated during your neck surgery recovery.
