Understanding Neck Lift Surgery

The neck is particularly vulnerable to aging's effects, including decreased skin elasticity and fat migration. A neck lift procedure addresses visible signs of aging in the lower face and neck regions, helping patients achieve a more youthful and refined appearance.

What a Neck Lift Can Address

Neck lift surgery effectively treats multiple aesthetic concerns, including:

Fine lines and wrinkles
Horizontal neck bands
Double chin appearance
Sagging jowls
Loose, excess skin ("turkey wattle")

Ideal Candidates for Neck Lift Surgery

Suitable candidates for neck lift surgery typically include adults who:

Are bothered by sagging neck skin or horizontal neck bands
Experience visible facial aging signs
Maintain good overall mental and physical health
Have realistic surgical expectations
Have independently chosen to pursue the procedure

Neck Lift Procedural Details

The neck lift is an outpatient procedure performed under anesthesia. Dr. Magilke uses specialized surgical techniques to reposition underlying tissue, tighten muscles, and remove excess skin. Surgical incisions are strategically placed behind the ears to minimize visible scarring.

Surgical Approach

During the procedure, Dr. Magilke will:

Make precise incisions behind the ears
Reposition underlying neck tissue
Tighten neck muscles
Remove surplus skin
Re-drape skin for a smoother contour

Recovery and Results

Post-surgical recovery involves temporary bruising and tightness, which typically resolves within one to two weeks. Patients can expect a smoother, more youthful neck contour with results lasting approximately five to ten years.
