Anatomical Concerns Addressed by a Neck Lift 

A neck lift, also known as lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the neck by addressing several critical anatomical concerns. Here are the primary issues that a neck lift targets: 

Excess Skin:

  • Concern: Sagging or loose skin on the neck, often called “turkey neck.” 
  • Solution: The procedure removes the excess skin and tightens the remaining skin to create a smoother, more youthful contour. 

Fat Accumulation:

  • Concern: Excess fat deposits under the chin and along the neck, leading to a “double chin” appearance. 
  • Solution: Liposuction or direct fat excision can be performed to remove these fat deposits, resulting in a more defined neck and jawline. 

Muscle Banding (Platysmal Bands):

  • Concern: The appearance of vertical bands or cords in the neck, caused by the separation and loosening of the platysma muscle. 
  • Solution: The platysma muscle is tightened and sometimes partially removed or restructured to smooth out these bands, providing a firmer and more youthful neck appearance. 

Jowls:

  • Concern: Sagging skin and fat along the jawline, creating jowls that disrupt the contour between the face and neck. 
  • Solution: The procedure can address jowls by lifting and tightening the skin and underlying tissues along the jawline, restoring a more defined and youthful contour. 

Poor Neck Definition:

  • Concern: Lack of definition between the chin and neck, often due to excess skin, fat, or muscle laxity. 
  • Solution: A neck lift enhances the definition and angle of the chin and neck by removing excess fat, tightening muscles, and lifting sagging skin, creating a more aesthetically pleasing profile. 

Horizontal Neck Lines:

  • Concern: Wrinkles or creases running horizontally across the neck, which can be caused by skin laxity and aging. 
  • Solution: Tightening the skin and underlying structures helps to reduce these lines, resulting in a smoother neck appearance. 

Personalized care

At Neaman Plastic Surgery, our brand and tone revolve around personalized care, empathy, and a commitment to helping individuals achieve their unique aesthetic goals. We believe that everyone deserves to feel confident and comfortable in their own skin, and our procedures are designed to do just that—empower individuals to embrace their beauty and feel their best.

Procedures That Can Be Combined with a Neck Lift at Neaman Plastic Surgery

Combining a neck lift with other complementary procedures can enhance overall facial rejuvenation and achieve more comprehensive and balanced results. Here are some common procedures that can be combined with a neck lift:

Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery):

Upper Lid Blepharoplasty: Removes excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids, reducing sagging and improving the eye’s appearance.

Lower Lid Blepharoplasty: Addresses bags and puffiness under the eyes by removing or repositioning fat and tightening the skin.

Benefit: Combining a neck lift with blepharoplasty can create a more youthful and refreshed appearance by addressing both the neck and the eye area, enhancing the overall harmony of the face. 

Facelift:

Procedure: Lifts and tightens the skin and underlying tissues of the face, addressing sagging cheeks, deep wrinkles, and jowls.

Benefit: Combining a neck lift with a facelift ensures a smooth and continuous rejuvenation from the face to the neck. This comprehensive approach addresses signs of aging across both areas, resulting in a more balanced and youthful overall appearance. 

Laser Resurfacing:

Procedure: Uses laser technology to remove the outer layers of damaged skin, reducing wrinkles, scars, and pigmentation issues.

Benefit: Laser resurfacing combined with a neck lift can significantly improve skin texture and tone, providing a smoother, more radiant complexion that complements the tightened and contoured neck.

Fat Grafting:

Procedure: Involves transferring fat from one part of the body to the face and neck to restore lost volume and enhance contours.

Benefit: Fat grafting can fill in hollow areas, reduce wrinkles, and enhance facial and neck structure. This adds volume and creates a fuller, more youthful appearance that complements the effects of a neck lift. 

Why Combine These Surgeries?

Combining these procedures with a neck lift can lead to a more comprehensive rejuvenation, addressing multiple signs of aging across the entire face and neck.

Treating Neck Bands with Platysma Plication

Neck bands, or platysmal bands, are vertical lines or cords that become more prominent with age due to the separation and loosening of the platysma muscle in the neck. Platysma plication is an effective surgical technique used to treat these neck bands and create a smoother, more youthful neck contour. Here’s how platysma plication is performed at Neaman Plastic Surgery: 

Consultation and Assessment:

  • Initial Evaluation: During your consultation, our surgeons will evaluate the condition of your neck, the severity of the platysmal bands, and your overall facial anatomy. This assessment helps determine the best surgical approach for your specific needs. 

Anesthesia:

  • Procedure Preparation: The procedure is typically performed under general or local anesthesia with sedation to ensure comfort throughout the surgery. 

Incision Placement:

  • Strategic Incisions: Incisions are usually made under the chin and/or behind the ears. These incision locations allow the surgeon to access the platysma muscle while minimizing visible scarring. 

Muscle Tightening (Platysma Plication):

  • Muscle Exposure: The surgeon carefully exposes the platysma muscle through the incisions. 
  • Suturing: The separated edges of the platysma muscle are sutured together to create a continuous, tightened muscle sheet.
  • Medial and Lateral Plication: Both the central (medial) and outer (lateral) edges of the platysma muscle may be sutured to achieve results. 

Excess Skin Removal and Contouring:

  • Skin Redraping: After the muscle has been tightened, the skin is redraped over the newly contoured neck. Any excess skin is trimmed away to ensure a smooth and natural result. 
  • Fat Removal: If necessary, excess fat may also be removed through liposuction or direct excision to enhance the neck’s contour. 

Closing the Incisions:

  • Suturing: The incisions are carefully closed with fine sutures to minimize scarring. 
  • Dressings: Sterile dressings and possibly a compression garment are applied to support the neck during the initial healing phase. 

Recovery and Post-Operative Care:

  • Recovery Timeline: Initial swelling and bruising typically subside within the first few weeks. Most patients can return to light activities within 1-2 weeks, with full recovery and final results visible over several months. 
  • Post-Operative Instructions: Detailed care instructions will be provided to ensure a smooth recovery, including guidance on managing swelling, activity restrictions, and follow-up appointments.

Frequently Asked Questions About Neck Lifts

Where are the incisions for a neck lift? 

The placement of incisions for a neck lift depends on the specific technique used and the individual patient’s anatomy and goals. Here are the common incision sites: 

  • Behind the Ears: Incisions are typically made around the ear, extending from the hairline in front of the ear, around the earlobe, and into the lower scalp behind the ear. This allows the surgeon to access and tighten the underlying muscles and remove excess skin. 
  • Under the Chin: An additional small incision may be made under the chin. This incision allows for direct access to the platysma muscle and any fat deposits that need to be removed or repositioned. It’s especially useful for addressing platysmal bands and creating a smoother neck contour. 

These incision sites are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring, taking advantage of natural skin folds and hairlines to conceal the incisions. 

Summary of Recovery Timeline:

Each patient’s recovery process may vary, and following the surgeon’s post-operative instructions is crucial for optimal healing and results. At Neaman Plastic Surgery, we provide detailed post-operative care guidelines to ensure a smooth recovery and the best possible outcome. If you have any further questions or are considering a neck lift, schedule a consultation with our expert team to discuss your options and develop a personalized treatment plan.

Neck Lift FAQ's

How long does it take to recover from a neck lift?

What's involved in a neck lift?

How much does a facelift and neck lift cost?

How do I prepare for a neck lift?

How do I tighten my jawline?

What is the best treatment for saggy neck?

How long does it take to recover from a neck lift?

It typically takes about a week to initially recover from a neck lift. At this point, most of the bruising and swelling will have diminished, and you’ll be able to start to see your full results. Your sutures will also be removed after about a week. It will take a few more weeks before you can return to your normal level of activity.

What's involved in a neck lift?

During a neck lift, Dr. Neaman or Dr. Christiansen will make incisions behind the ears or under the jawline. From there, they will tighten any weakened neck muscles and remove any excess skin and fat. Fat can also be removed and moved to other areas of the neck or the face to help achieve the results you desire.

How much does a facelift and neck lift cost?

How much a facelift and neck lift cost can vary depending on how extensive the surgery needs to be to achieve the results you’re looking for. On average, the combination of procedures can cost around $15,000, but your doctor will be able to give you an exact cost during your consultation.

How do I prepare for a neck lift?

To prepare for your neck lift, you’ll need to stop smoking for several weeks before surgery (if you’re a smoker), stop taking any blood thinner medication you’re on, and plan for your recovery. You’ll need someone to drive you to and from the surgery and someone to watch over you for the first 24 hours. You’ll also want to stock up on gauze, ice packs, pillows, and anything else you need to make yourself comfortable.

How do I tighten my jawline?

A neck lift is a perfect way to tighten your jawline. With the procedure, we can tighten loose, sagging skin and remove excess skin and fat to give you the jawline you want.

What is the best treatment for saggy neck?

A neck lift is a great treatment for a sagging neck. By strengthening the neck muscles and removing excess skin and fat, we can give you a leaner and firmer appearance to your neck and jawline.
