What Is a Neck Lift?
A neck lift improves the appearance of your neck and jawline. A doctor removes excess skin and fat while tightening the muscles underneath to create a smoother look. This procedure is an excellent option if you’re experiencing sagging skin, wrinkles, or a double chin.
Benefits of Neck Lift Surgery
Neck lift surgery offers a range of benefits, including:
- Aesthetic Improvements:Â Enjoy a smoother, firmer neck and a more defined jawline, enhancing your overall appearance.
- Functional Benefits:Â Increased confidence and comfort in your appearance can positively impact your daily life.
- Long-Lasting Results:Â The results of a neck lift are long-lasting, allowing you to enjoy your rejuvenated look for years.
The Neck Lift Procedure
To alleviate your concerns, here is what to expect during your neck lift procedure:
- Steps Involved:Â The surgery typically begins with Dr. Turk making incisions behind the ears and under the chin. He removes excess skin and fat and tightens the underlying muscles.
- Techniques Used:Â Dr. Turk may use different techniques based on your specific needs, such as a traditional neck lift or a mini neck lift.
- Anesthesia Options: We usually perform this procedure under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. Our main goal is to make sure you’re comfortable the whole time.Â
- Duration:Â A neck lift surgery generally takes two to three hours, depending on how involved the procedure is.
What to Expect During Recovery
Here's what you need to know about recovering from your neck lift surgery to ensure a smooth healing process:
- Recovery Timeline:Â Initial recovery typically takes one to two weeks. Most patients return to normal activities within three to four weeks.
