Understanding Neck Lift Procedures

A neck lift is a comprehensive procedure designed to rejuvenate the neck area by addressing excess skin, fat deposits, and underlying muscle laxity. Dr. Afshin Farzadmehr - MD offers various artistic options to achieve desired results tailored to each patient's unique anatomy and goals.

Types of Neck Lifts

• Full Neck Lift: Involves incisions beneath the chin, around the ear, and behind the hairline
• Mini Neck Lift: Utilizes smaller incisions for less extensive correction
• Liposuction: Ideal for patients with good skin elasticity and excess fat

Combination Procedures

To ensure facial harmony, neck lifts are often performed in conjunction with facelifts and eyelid surgery. The surgical approach is determined based on the patient's skin quality and neck anatomy.

Open Anterior Neck Lift vs. Neck Liposuction

Younger patients with good skin elasticity and excess fat may be candidates for either neck liposuction or an anterior neck lift. Understanding the differences between these procedures is crucial for optimal results:

Neck Liposuction

• Targets fat above the neck muscle
• Less invasive option
• Limited in addressing submuscular fat

Anterior Neck Lift

• Addresses both superficial and deep fat layers
• Allows for contouring of submuscular fat
• Offers potentially significant improvement in neck contour
• Requires a small, inconspicuous incision beneath the chin

Dr. Afshin Farzadmehr - MD often recommends combining liposuction with an anterior neck lift for comprehensive treatment of both fat layers, resulting in optimal neck contouring.

Consultation and Customized Treatment

To determine the most suitable neck rejuvenation approach, patients are encouraged to schedule a consultation with Dr. Afshin Farzadmehr - MD. During this evaluation, the surgeon will assess individual anatomy, discuss goals, and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan for achieving a more youthful and defined neck appearance.
