Candidacy and Expectations

Neck lift candidates typically include individuals experiencing significant skin laxity or fat accumulation in the neck region. While suitable for various ages, older patients often see more dramatic transformations. The procedure focuses specifically on neck contours and does not address comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Recovery and Results

Most patients can return to normal activities within two to three weeks. Initial results are visible immediately, with final outcomes becoming apparent as swelling subsides. The procedure's results can last between 5-10 years, depending on individual skin quality and lifestyle factors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Neck Lift Procedure Painful?
