Neck Lift Procedure at DR. RENATO V. OCAMPO Plastic Surgery

What is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift is a surgical procedure designed to improve visible signs of aging in the jawline and neck. This procedure addresses:

• Loose skin on the neck area
• Excess fatty deposits under the chin
• Muscle banding in the neck, creating abnormal contours
• Excess fat and relaxed skin in the lower face area, creating jowls

Benefits of a Neck Lift

As we age, the loss of youthful contours in the face and neck can be due to various factors such as heredity, gravity, environmental conditions, and stress. While these symptoms are a natural part of aging, a neck lift can be an excellent option for patients who want to improve the appearance of their jawline and neck.

The Neck Lift Procedure

DR. RENATO V. OCAMPO performs neck lift surgery under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation, depending on what's best for each individual patient. The procedure involves:

1. Making incisions based on the extent of desired changes
2. Removing excess sagging skin and fat, if necessary
3. Repositioning tissue and tightening muscles
4. Gently placing the skin back and trimming excess skin
5. Closing incisions with sutures or skin glue

Patients should expect some swelling and bruising during recovery. As healing progresses, improvements to the neck area's appearance will become visible.
