Advanced Neck Lift in Atlanta, GA

Understanding Neck Aging and Rejuvenation

The neck is an area where gravity significantly impacts skin appearance, causing loose skin and creating aesthetic concerns like a double chin or "turkey neck". These changes can make individuals appear older or heavier than they feel. While non-surgical options exist, a surgical neck lift can provide the most comprehensive solution for reshaping and lifting neck tissues.

What Is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift surgery represents the gold standard in neck contouring, offering patients a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation. DiFrancesco Plastic Surgery performs neck lifts that can be conducted independently or in combination with other procedures like facelifts, midface lifts, or brow lifts.

Key Neck Lift Benefits

• Removes excess skin and fat
• Tightens underlying neck muscles
• Creates more youthful neck contours
• Provides long-term aesthetic improvements

Ideal Candidates for Neck Lift Surgery

Optimal neck lift candidates typically have excess skin and fat beneath the chin and jawline that haven't responded to non-surgical treatments. Dr. DiFrancesco carefully evaluates each patient's health history and aesthetic goals during the initial consultation to determine the most appropriate approach.

The Neck Lift Procedure

DiFrancesco Plastic Surgery performs neck lift procedures under general anesthesia. The surgical approach involves carefully placed incisions behind the ears and within the hairline, allowing precise access to underlying neck tissues. During the procedure, muscles are repositioned, excess fat and skin are removed, and incisions are meticulously closed.

Procedure Details

• Performed under general anesthesia
• Minimally invasive incision techniques
• Precise tissue repositioning
• Customized to individual patient anatomy

Recovery and Results

Following a neck lift, patients can expect some initial swelling and discomfort, manageable with prescribed medications. Most patients require approximately one week away from work and social activities, with full recovery typically occurring within two weeks. Results continue to refine and improve over subsequent months.

Non-Surgical Alternatives

For patients with mild skin laxity, DiFrancesco Plastic Surgery offers non-surgical neck rejuvenation options such as radiofrequency skin tightening, injectables, and advanced medspa treatments that can provide subtle improvements.

Complementary Procedures
