Neck Lift

A neck lift is a cosmetic medical procedure that enhances the appearance of the jawline and neck by tightening the neck muscles and removing excess skin and built-up fat deposits under the chin. Each neck lift procedure is customized to each individual patient in order to achieve the most natural-looking results. Patients who have this type of aesthetic enhancement surgery typically still have some elasticity of the neck skin. During your initial consultation, Dr. Noel Natoli will address your concerns and discuss the best treatment options to meet your ultimate goals.

Neck lift surgery can be performed by Dr. Natoli in a fully equipped surgery center that is certified by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities, Inc. (AAAASF). This distinction is only given to facilities that strive for the highest standard of care.

NECK LIFT PROCEDURE
Neck lifts can be done under local or general anesthesia. At this stage, an incision will be made under the chin. Excess skin is removed, and the remainder is tightened for a smoother appearance. Underlying neck muscles may also be tightened during a neck lift. If patients have excessive fat deposits, then liposuction may be used to remove this before the skin is smoothed back over the underlying tissues and any excess skin is removed. This can also lead to a better contour of the lower portion of the face, and a youthful appearance. The entire neck lift procedure typically lasts about three hours or less.
NECK LIFT RECOVERY

The recovery of a Neck Lift is somewhat similar to a facelift, although, sometimes a bit easier. Any pain or discomfort can be managed with medication. Some degree of swelling, numbness, and bruising can also be expected for a few days after the procedure. The incisions are generally hidden in the hairline and behind the ear and are a bit more noticeable until full healing occurs in 3 weeks. A small drain and compression garment will likely be provided to you to reduce swelling and stabilize the neck. Patients can typically resume normal daily activities after one to two weeks.
