Neck Lift Puyallup, WA | Lynn Chung MD

Understanding Neck Lift Procedures

Many patients notice aging changes in their neck region, such as sagging skin, deep lines, or excess fat deposits. Dr. Lynn Chung specializes in neck lift procedures that address these common aesthetic concerns, helping patients restore a more youthful and toned neck appearance.

Candidate Evaluation

Dr. Chung carefully evaluates potential neck lift candidates based on specific criteria. Ideal patients are interested in:

• Reducing excess skin or fat in the neck region
• Improving a "turkey neck" or "double chin" appearance
• Maintaining realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Neck Lift Procedure Types

Cervicoplasty

For patients primarily concerned with excess skin, cervicoplasty involves two strategic incisions near or behind the ears. During this procedure, Dr. Chung will lift and redrape the skin to create a more toned and refined neck contour.

Platysmaplasty

This procedure focuses on the platysma muscle, typically involving an incision beneath the chin. Dr. Chung can tighten or reduce the interior neck muscle to significantly improve the neck's overall appearance.

Recovery and Aftercare

Dr. Chung prioritizes patient support throughout the recovery process. Most patients can expect the following post-procedure experience:

• Initial tenderness and soreness as anesthesia wears off
• Temporary bruising and swelling
• A sensation of tightness in the neck area
• Typically, a full recovery within 10-14 days

Compression garments and elevated sleeping positions can aid in faster, more comfortable healing. Patients will have 1-2 follow-up visits to monitor progress and ensure optimal results.

Complementary Procedures

To enhance overall facial rejuvenation, patients might consider combining their neck lift with complementary procedures such as:

• Facelift
• Liposuction
• Chin augmentation
