Youthful Neck Transformation: Neck Lift Surgery

A neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy, is a plastic surgery procedure that improves visible signs of aging in the jaw line and neck by muscle tightening.

What neck lift surgery can treat

Excess fat and skin relaxation in the lower face that creates jowls.

Excess fatty deposits under the chin.

Loose neck skin.

Muscle banding in the neck, which created abnormal contours.

The loss of youthful contours in the face and neck can be due to a variety of factors, including heredity, gravity, environmental conditions and stress.

Some people feel they are not ready for a full facelift because the upper face is still pleasing. However, many patients will note excess wrinkling of the neck skin, a double chin or “turkey wattle” and jowl lines.

When the neck area doesn’t match the upper facial appearance, a neck lift may be a good solution.

Rejuvenation procedures that can be performed in conjunction with a neck lift are: a brow lift, to correct a sagging or deeply furrowed brow, fat transfer, to add fullness to the lips and cheeks and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, or eyelid surgery, to rejuvenate aging eyes

What neck lift surgery can’t do

As a restorative surgery, a neck lift does not change your fundamental appearance and cannot stop the aging process.

A neck lift can only be performed surgically; nonsurgical rejuvenation treatments cannot achieve the same results, but may help delay the time at which a neck lift becomes appropriate and complement the results of surgery.

Who is an ideal candidate for a neck lift procedure?

Surgery Procedure

Dr. Joe will make a discreet incision in the hairline at the temples, continuing around the ear and ending in the lower scalp. The skin is then lifted and repositioned, excess fat is removed or sculpted, underlying muscles are tightened and finally, the skin is redraped over the face. In some cases, a small incision under the chin may also be necessary to tighten loose neck muscles.

RECOVERY

After surgery, you can expect some swelling and bruising which usually subsides within 2 weeks. You may experience some discomfort but this can be managed with medication prescribed by Dr Joe Khoury. Most patients return to work after 10-14 days.

RESULTS

Lifting and repositioning the skin and muscles of the neck through a neck lift procedure can remarkably rejuvenate one’s appearance, often shaving off 7 to 12 years. Yet, the advantages extend beyond age reduction, as it can also impart a slimmer and healthier look.

FAQ: Making an Informed Decision for Your Tummy Tuck

Ideal candidates for a tummy tuck typically include those in good physical health, at a stable weight, and with realistic expectations. They should be non-smokers or have stopped smoking well in advance of the surgery. Individuals looking to correct diastasis recti, reduce excess abdominal skin or fat, or minimize stretch marks may be good candidates. However, those planning future pregnancies are advised to wait, as this could reverse the results. It’s vital to consult with a tummy tuck expert to evaluate your candidacy.

During recovery from a tummy tuck, expect to take it easy for at least two weeks with support around the house for daily tasks. Swelling, discomfort, and bruising are normal, but medication will ease pain. Your surgeon will give detailed care instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to track your healing. Results like a smoother, firmer abdominal profile become more apparent as you heal. It’s essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle to enjoy lasting results.

Your tummy tuck results can be long-lasting, especially if you maintain a stable weight and lead a healthy lifestyle. While the procedure removes excess skin and fat cells, significant weight fluctuations and natural ageing can affect longevity. A balanced diet and regular exercise can help preserve your sleeker contour for decades. Remember, it takes several months to see the final results, as your body needs time to heal completely.
