NECK LIFT CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO | J. STEWART HUMPHREY, MD

UNDERSTANDING NECK LIFT SURGERY

A neck lift is a comprehensive surgical procedure designed to address
signs of aging and improve neck contour. The technique involves
lifting and tightening neck muscles, removing excess skin, and
creating a more defined jawline.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUES

Neck lift surgery typically involves strategic incisions around the
ears and under the chin. The procedure may include:

 	* Muscle tightening of the platysma muscle
	* Precise skin removal
	* Optional light liposuction for fat reduction
	* Wrinkle and skin band elimination

PROCEDURE DETAILS

Performed under general anesthesia, a neck lift at Heartland Plastic &
Hand Surgery takes two to four hours. The surgical approach is
customized based on individual skin quality and specific aesthetic
goals.

NECK LIFT CANDIDACY IN CAPE GIRARDEAU

Ideal candidates for neck lift surgery include individuals
experiencing:

 	* Sagging neck skin
	* Excess fat deposits under the chin
	* Visible muscle bands
	* Loss of neck and jawline definition

PREPARATION AND RECOVERY

UNDERSTANDING NECK LIFT CANDIDACY

Neck lift candidates typically present with excess skin and
potentially excess fat around the neck area, characterized by a
blunted cervicomental angle. This condition commonly develops with
aging or following significant weight loss.

PATIENT SELECTION CRITERIA

Ideal neck lift candidates should meet the following requirements:

 	* Be in good overall health
	* Understand that results vary by individual
	* Recognize the procedure enhances appearance but does not replace a
healthy lifestyle

COMPREHENSIVE NECK LIFT SURGICAL APPROACH

The neck lift procedure involves strategic incisions around the ears
and under the chin, allowing surgeons to remove excess skin and access
the platysma muscle. The muscle is carefully repositioned to the
midline to improve neck contour.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE DETAILS

 	* Incision locations: Around ears and under chin
	* Potential fat removal above or below platysma muscle
	* Procedure duration: 2-4 hours
	* Anesthesia: General anesthesia required
	* Surgical drains placed to prevent fluid accumulation

RECOVERY EXPECTATIONS FOR NECK LIFT PATIENTS

Recovery experiences vary, but patients can anticipate specific
post-surgical conditions. Swelling and bruising typically persist for
2-3 weeks, accompanied by potential sensations of tightness, numbness,
and tingling.

POST-OPERATIVE GUIDELINES

 	* Avoid exercise and strenuous activity for 4 weeks
	* Drain removal within 1 week of surgery
	* Potential suture removal as needed
