Neck Lift Cincinnati, OH | Dr. Lawrence C. Kurtzman, MD

Understanding Neck Lift Surgery

The neck is often one of the first areas to show signs of aging, with sagging skin and muscle laxity developing before visible changes in the face. A neck lift is a surgical procedure designed to restore a more youthful and toned appearance by addressing these specific concerns.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate?

Ideal candidates for a neck lift in Cincinnati include individuals who:

• Experience sagging skin or loose muscles in the neck area
• Are in good physical and emotional health
• Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
• Want to improve their neck's aesthetic appearance

Surgical Approach

Dr. Kurtzman performs neck lift procedures using two primary techniques: cervicoplasty for skin removal and platysmaplasty for muscle modification. The procedure typically involves:

• Small incisions beneath the chin or behind the ears
• Removal of excess skin and fat
• Tightening of underlying neck muscles
• Optional liposuction for enhanced contouring

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect some initial swelling and bruising that typically subsides within 10 days. Most individuals return to normal activities within two weeks, with full recovery taking 4-6 weeks. The transformative results can last up to a decade, significantly improving neck and facial aesthetics.
