Neck Lift Ypsilanti, MI | Dr. Richard J. Beil, MD

Understanding Neck Lift Surgery

Neck lift surgery helps women and men rejuvenate the upper neck's contours by defining the chin-neck angle. Most patients experience a combination of excess fat and relaxed neck muscles, creating a "turkey gobbler neck" appearance.

Surgical Procedure Details

Most neck lift procedures involve several key steps:

• Liposuction to remove excess fat through a small chin incision
• Tightening of neck muscles (platysma) to reduce sagging
• Potential skin removal and repositioning
• Potential combination with mini-facelift for enhanced results

Alternative Treatments

Patients with mild to moderate neck skin laxity might consider non-surgical alternatives:

• FaceTite treatment
• Morpheus8 RF Microneedling
• KYBELLA® for submental fat reduction

Recovery and Healing

Neck lift recovery typically involves wearing a compression garment for several weeks and avoiding strenuous activities. Most patients return to work within 1-2 weeks, with full recovery taking approximately 3-4 weeks.

Surgical Expectations

Patients can expect initial swelling and potential bruising. Sleeping with an elevated head and following post-operative instructions are crucial for optimal healing.

Candidacy and Consultation

Ideal neck lift candidates include individuals experiencing neck skin laxity, excess fat, or muscle relaxation. A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Richard J. Beil can determine your specific treatment approach.
