Advanced Neck Rejuvenation | Santa Barbara, CA | Brent Moelleken, MD

Understanding Neck Lift Procedures in Santa Barbara

The neck represents one of the earliest areas demonstrating aging and reduced skin elasticity. A neck lift surgical procedure helps restore a youthful, refreshed appearance by strategically tightening muscles and skin to achieve aesthetic harmony.

Comprehensive Neck Lift Overview

A neck lift addresses multiple aesthetic concerns through targeted surgical techniques. Patients seeking neck rejuvenation can resolve various age-related challenges:

• Vertical neck banding
• Horizontal creases
• Fatty jowl formations
• Loose, thin-quality skin
• Excessive neck sagging

Advanced Neck Lift Techniques

Plastic Surgery of Santa Barbara offers two innovative neck lift methodologies developed to provide superior aesthetic outcomes:

The Neck-Lace® Method

Developed exclusively by Dr. Brent Moelleken, this technique focuses on enhancing neck firmness by removing stubborn fat deposits and tightening underlying tissues. Key benefits include minimized surgical complications and long-lasting aesthetic improvements.

Corset Platysmaplasty

This advanced technique targets significant neck rejuvenation by tightening critical muscles underneath the chin. It effectively addresses neck bands, double chin concerns, and loose skin through precise surgical intervention.

Personalized Neck Lift Procedure

Each neck lift is uniquely tailored to individual patient requirements. Typically performed as an outpatient procedure, the surgery involves either general anesthesia or IV sedation and generally requires approximately one hour.

Recovery and Results

Patients can anticipate approximately one week of initial recovery, with gradual improvements continuing over subsequent months. Most individuals experience long-lasting results that can persist for several years when following post-operative recommendations.

Surgical Candidacy and Consultation

Ideal neck lift candidates include individuals experiencing neck aging due to genetics, weight changes, or natural aging processes. A personalized consultation with Dr. Brent Moelleken allows comprehensive assessment of individual aesthetic goals.
