Neck Lift in Glen Ridge | M. Shuja Shafqat, MD

Understanding Neck Lift Surgery

A neck lift is a targeted surgical procedure designed to address specific aging concerns in the lower face and neck region. For patients experiencing drooping jowls, sagging neck skin, or vertical banding, this procedure offers a precise solution to restore a more youthful and defined neck contour.

Common Causes of Neck Aging

Multiple factors contribute to neck aging and structural changes:

• Natural collagen reduction
• Decreased skin elasticity
• Fatty deposit accumulation
• Significant weight loss

Surgical Procedure Details

The neck lift procedure is performed through carefully placed incisions, typically located under the sideburn, around the ear, and potentially under the chin. These strategic incision points minimize visible scarring while allowing comprehensive neck rejuvenation.

• Excess skin or fat in the neck area
• Visible vertical neck muscle banding
• Loss of neck and jawline definition
• Desire for a more refined neck contour

Recovery and Results

Neck lift recovery varies by individual, with most patients returning to normal activities within 1-2 weeks. Results typically include a smoother, more defined neck and jawline with reduced signs of aging.
