Neck Lift Jacksonville, FL | Dr. Sofia K. Kirk, MD

Understanding Neck Lift Surgery

Aging can significantly impact the neck's appearance, causing skin laxity, fat accumulation, and muscle banding that distorts the jawline. A neck lift procedure addresses these aesthetic concerns by restoring a more youthful and defined neck and facial profile.

What is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the neck and area beneath the jawline. It effectively reverses visible signs of aging, providing a firmer, more defined neck and jawline.

Neck Lift Surgical Techniques

Dr. Kirk offers multiple neck lift approaches tailored to individual patient needs:

• Cervicoplasty: Removes excess skin through small incisions
• Platysmaplasty: Tightens neck muscles surgically
• Liposuction: Removes fatty tissue to complement other techniques

Surgical Procedure Details

The neck lift is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Kirk carefully creates incisions, removes or repositions tissue, and sutures the area to achieve optimal results. The procedure duration varies based on specific techniques used.

Complementary Facial Procedures

Neck lifts are often combined with other facial rejuvenation surgeries like facelifts, eyelid surgery, or brow lifts. Combining procedures can reduce overall recovery time and minimize surgical costs.

Recovery and Results

Recovery typically takes 2-3 weeks, with initial improvements visible shortly after surgery. Results can last up to ten years, depending on individual factors such as skin type, age, and lifestyle.

Maintaining Your Neck Lift Results

Patients can prolong their neck lift results through healthy lifestyle choices, including:

• Regular exercise
• Balanced nutrition
• Proper hydration
• Stress management

Cost Considerations

Neck lift costs vary based on individual surgical requirements, including medical examinations, surgeon's fees, hospital charges, and anesthesia. Dr. Kirk provides personalized consultations to discuss specific pricing.
