Neck Lift in Cottonwood Heights, UT | Clayton Plastic Surgery: Dr. David Clayton

Understanding Neck Lift Surgery

A neck lift, clinically known as a lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to address age-related changes in the neck's skin and underlying muscles. Unlike facial treatments that can utilize dermal fillers, a neck lift requires precise surgical intervention to effectively restore a more youthful neck contour.

Why Consider a Neck Lift?

The neck is uniquely vulnerable to aging due to its lack of underlying bone support. Many patients overlook neck aging while focusing on facial features, but the neck can reveal significant signs of aging, including:

• Loose neck skin
• Visible muscle banding
• Double chin appearance
• Fat deposits under the chin
• Jowl formation

Recovery and Expectations

Neck lift recovery requires patience and careful management. Patients typically experience minimal pain and can return to work within 10-14 days. Full results may take up to six months as swelling gradually subsides.

Key Recovery Guidelines

• Wear elastic bandages as directed
• Keep head elevated
• Avoid strenuous activities for several weeks
• Follow precise post-operative instructions
