Understanding Neck Aging and Rejuvenation

As individuals age, the neck frequently reveals the first signs of getting older through sagging, drooping, and excess skin. These age-related changes can make both men and women appear older and heavier than their actual age.

What Can a Neck Lift Accomplish?

A professionally performed neck lift can successfully address multiple aesthetic concerns:

• Firm and tighten neck skin
• Smooth lines, wrinkles, creases, and folds
• Improve appearance of loose vertical bands
• Eliminate excess fat and skin
• Correct "turkey wattle" neck appearance
• Sculpt a more defined jawline
• Create a rejuvenated overall appearance

Neck Lift Procedure Overview

The neck lift procedure involves carefully planned surgical techniques to restore youthful neck contours. Typically performed under general anesthesia, the surgery includes creating small incisions under the chin and behind each ear.

During the procedure, the surgeon will:

• Tighten neck muscles
• Remove sagging skin
• Smooth lines and wrinkles
• Close incisions to minimize scarring

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery from a neck lift requires patience and careful adherence to post-operative instructions. Patients can expect some initial discomfort, manageable with prescribed pain medication. Most individuals resume normal daily activities within 1-2 weeks.

Candidacy for Neck Lift

Ideal candidates for a neck lift typically:

• Are bothered by wrinkled and sagging neck skin
• Have visible vertical neck bands
• Are in good overall health
• Possess realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
