NECK LIFT MIDLOTHIAN, VA | COMMONWEALTH FACIAL PLASTIC SURGERY :
MATTHEW BRIDGES, MD, FACS

UNDERSTANDING NECK LIFT PROCEDURES IN MIDLOTHIAN

A neck lift, or platysmaplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to
remove loose, sagging skin from the neck and create a smooth, slender
profile. Natural aging or significant weight loss can create unsightly
neck folds, often referred to as a "turkey neck".

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

Commonwealth Facial Plastic Surgery addresses neck contour concerns
through a precise surgical approach. The procedure involves several
key steps:

 	* Removing excess fat through targeted liposuction
	* Trimming hanging skin
	* Tightening loose neck muscles (platysma)
	* Re-draping skin for a natural, defined profile

PROCEDURE DETAILS

Typically performed under general anesthesia, a neck lift takes
approximately two hours. Incisions are strategically placed under the
chin and near the ears to minimize visible scarring. Patients can
expect to return to work within 7-10 days, with optimal results
appearing over several months.

NECK LIFT CANDIDACY IN MIDLOTHIAN

Individuals in their 20s to 70s may benefit from a neck lift,
particularly those experiencing:

 	* Significant skin laxity
	* Excess neck fat
	* Loss of neck muscle tone
	* Post-weight loss skin changes

COMPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES

Some patients might require additional interventions like chin
augmentation to achieve optimal neck contouring. Dr. Matthew Bridges
evaluates each patient's unique facial structure to recommend the most
effective approach.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

IS A NON-SURGICAL NECK LIFT POSSIBLE?

Loose neck skin can only be effectively addressed through surgical
intervention. Non-surgical treatments have limited effectiveness in
significantly improving neck contour.

SCARRING CONSIDERATIONS

Incisions are carefully placed within natural skin folds and hairlines
to ensure minimal visible scarring. Dr. Bridges takes exceptional care
to minimize and conceal surgical marks.

DEEP PLANE FACELIFT MIDLOTHIAN, VA | COMMONWEALTH FACIAL PLASTIC
SURGERY : MATTHEW BRIDGES, MD, FACS

UNDERSTANDING THE FACELIFT PROCEDURE

A facelift, medically known as a rhytidectomy, is a sophisticated
plastic surgery technique designed to restore youthful facial contours
by addressing skin laxity and tissue descent. As skin loses elasticity
with age, lines, wrinkles, and skin folds become more prominent.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUES FOR FACIAL REJUVENATION

Facial plastic surgeons employ various techniques to perform
facelifts, with the approach determined by individual patient anatomy,
skin condition, and aesthetic goals. Each procedure is uniquely
tailored to the patient's specific requirements.

FACELIFT TECHNIQUE OPTIONS

 	* Skin-Only Facelift: An outdated technique with minimal contouring
potential
	* Traditional SMAS Facelift: Modern approach manipulating underlying
facial tissues
	* Richmond Mini Facelift: Advanced short-scar technique with
significant results
	* Deep Plane Lift: Advanced method providing maximum tissue
mobilization

DEEP PLANE FACELIFT: ADVANCED FACIAL REJUVENATION

The deep plane lift represents a sophisticated approach to facial
rejuvenation. By dissecting below the SMAS layer, this technique
provides enhanced tissue mobilization and superior lifting
capabilities compared to traditional methods.

SURGICAL PROCEDURE INSIGHTS

Most facelift procedures are performed under general anesthesia in an
accredited surgical facility. The surgery typically takes 3-4 hours
and is considered an outpatient procedure. Patients can expect initial
bruising and tightness, with final results gradually emerging over
several months.

PATIENT CONSIDERATIONS

 	* Ideal age range: Mid-40s to late 60s
	* Typical results: 5-10 years of facial rejuvenation
	* Scarring: Strategically placed incisions minimize visible marks

NON-SURGICAL ALTERNATIVES

While treatments like BOTOX, fillers, and chemical peels can address
surface-level concerns, patients with significant skin laxity or
structural changes will benefit most from surgical intervention.

neck and lower two-thirds of the face, addressing multiple facial
aging concerns through a comprehensive approach.

SURGICAL DETAILS AND RECOVERY

takes several hours. Patients can expect a recovery period of one to
two weeks before returning to normal activities. Complete healing and
final results gradually develop over several months, with minimal

years old seeking significant facial rejuvenation. Candidates should
be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about
surgical outcomes.
