Neck Lift in Hunt Valley, MD | Samuel Hahn, MD, FACS

Understanding Neck Lift Procedures

The aging process can leave the neck with redundant skin and excessive fat deposits under the chin. A neck lift procedure improves the jawline and neck area, helping restore a youthful appearance. Dr. Samuel Hahn of the Maryland Center for Facial Plastic Surgery performs neck lift procedures for patients throughout Baltimore, Towson, Columbia, and surrounding communities.

Key Aging Neck Concerns

Patients seeking facial rejuvenation often notice increased laxity and fullness around the jawline and under the chin. The neck skin tends to be thinner and less elastic than facial skin, which can accelerate the aging process. A neck lift aims to rejuvenate the jawline and neck regions by:

• Removing excessive fat deposits
• Tightening underlying muscular structures
• Carefully contouring lax skin

Comprehensive Neck Rejuvenation

While a neck lift can be a standalone procedure, it is often combined with other cosmetic surgeries such as liposuction, blepharoplasty, mid-face augmentation, or facelift for balanced facial rejuvenation.

Benefits of Neck Lift Surgery

Neck lift surgery offers multiple aesthetic improvements for patients experiencing signs of aging:

• Tightens drooping skin along the neck and jawline
• Removes excess fat from neck and under chin
• Eliminates excess neck skin contributing to sagging
• Reduces vertical neck bands and deep wrinkles
• Improves overall neck and jawline contour

Neck Lift Procedure Details

The surgical approach involves strategic techniques to address individual aging concerns. Small incisions under the chin and around the ear are used to tighten neck muscles and remove excess skin and soft tissue. Liposuction may be performed to smooth and contour the area, with incisions carefully placed in natural lines for minimal visibility.

Candidacy for Neck Lift

Determining the best treatment requires a comprehensive assessment of facial aging, skin texture, elasticity, and facial support structures. Dr. Hahn provides personalized consultations to develop individualized treatment plans, which may include additional procedures like laser treatments or minimally invasive options such as Kybella.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect some initial discomfort, swelling, and bruising in the neck and jawline area. Most individuals resume normal activities within two weeks, with full strenuous activities permitted after 4-6 weeks. Numbness or tingling is common and typically resolves as nerves regenerate.
