About
A neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve visible signs of aging in the jawline and neck. This surgical approach addresses issues such as excess fat, loose skin and muscle banding in the neck area, resulting in a more youthful and contoured profile. Ideal for those looking to reverse age-related changes or improve the definition of their neckline, a neck lift can offer significant aesthetic enhancements.
Ideal Candidates for a Neck lift
- Individuals with excess skin and fat in the neck and under the chin.
- Those experiencing muscle banding in the neck, creating unwanted contours.
- People with a poorly defined jawline due to sagging skin or excess fat.
- Individuals in good overall health, non-smokers, with realistic expectations for the outcome of the surgery.
Procedure
1. Consultation: Discussion of your aesthetic goals, examination of your neck anatomy and formulation of a personalized surgical plan.
2. Anaesthesia: The procedure is typically performed under general anaesthesia or intravenous sedation for comfort.
3. Incision: Depending on the extent of the surgery, incisions may be made behind the ears, under the chin or within the hairline to minimize visible scarring.
4. Correction: Excess skin and fat are removed and underlying muscles tightened. Liposuction can also be employed to remove fat from the neck.
5. Closure: Incisions are closed with sutures and area dressed to support healing.
Recovery and Aftercare
- Initial recovery typically involves swelling, bruising and minimal discomfort, which can be easily managed with medication.
- A compression garment may be recommended to support the new contours and minimize swelling.
- Most patients can return to work and normal activities within two weeks, although strenuous activities should be avoided for a longer period.
- Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor healing and remove sutures.
Results
- A more defined jawline and neck, with a reduction in excess skin and fat.
- A smoother, more youthful neck contour, enhancing your overall facial appearance.
- Results from a neck lift procedure are generally long-lasting, maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle can help extend the benefits.
