Neck Lift in La Jolla, CA | Daniel Brown MD

Understanding Neck Lift Surgery

A neck lift (platysmaplasty) is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to restore youthful neck contours by addressing excess skin, muscle laxity, and age-related changes. Dr. Daniel Brown specializes in creating natural-looking results that redefine your profile and rejuvenate your appearance.

Procedure Overview

• Corrects sagging neck skin and muscle bands
• Restores angular relationship between jaw and neck
• Eliminates the appearance of "turkey neck"
• Typically performed in combination with facelift procedures

Ideal Candidates

Neck lift candidates typically include men and women in their 40s to 60s with:

• Moderate skin laxity in the neck region
• Visible neck bands or muscle sagging
• Desire to improve neck and jawline definition
• Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Surgical Technique

Dr. Brown employs a precise surgical approach, typically involving an incision that begins near the ear lobe, wraps behind the ear, and concludes at the lower scalp. This technique allows for comprehensive neck rejuvenation while minimizing visible scarring.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect minimal discomfort and a relatively quick recovery. Most individuals return to normal activities within one to two weeks. The results of a neck lift can last a decade or more, dramatically turning back the clock on aging.

Complementary Procedures

Dr. Brown often recommends combining neck lift with other facial rejuvenation procedures such as:

• Facelift
• Brow lift
• Eyelid rejuvenation

Cost Considerations

The cost of a neck lift varies based on individual patient needs. During your private consultation, Dr. Brown will provide a personalized treatment plan and accurate cost estimate.
