Understanding Neck Lift Surgery

A neck lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the neck by addressing signs of aging such as sagging skin, excess fat, and muscle laxity. The procedure can help restore a more youthful and refined neck contour, enhancing overall facial aesthetics.

Ideal Candidates for Neck Lift

Neck lift surgery is typically recommended for individuals in the age range of 40 to 70 who experience:

• Loose or excess neck skin
• Visible vertical neck bands
• Accumulated fat deposits under the chin
• Loss of neck definition

• Small incisions under the chin and around the ears
• Tightening of neck muscles
• Removal of excess fat deposits

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect a recovery period of approximately one week, during which strenuous activities should be avoided. Stitches are usually removed within seven to ten days, and gradual improvements in neck appearance will continue to develop over several months.
