The Benefits of a Neck Lift

While some nonsurgical treatments offer minimal improvements to the neck, they often pale in comparison to the effectiveness of surgery. A neck lift delivers dramatic and long-lasting results while addressing multiple cosmetic issues simultaneously. Dr. Rao can customize your surgery to achieve your specific aesthetic goals.

A neck lift can:

Tighten loose or sagging neck and jawline skin

Remove excess fat from the neck and chin area

Create a more defined jawline

Improve the appearance of neck wrinkles and folds

Produce a smoother and more youthful neckline

Furthermore, a neck lift can be combined with other cosmetic procedures for comprehensive rejuvenation results.

Recovery After a Neck Lift

Following your neck lift procedure, you may experience mild swelling and bruising, but these side effects will gradually subside. To ensure a safe recovery, it is recommended that you rest and avoid exercise or strenuous activities for a couple of weeks. It’s advisable to avoid wearing tight clothing near the neck during this period. You will likely notice visible aesthetic improvements almost immediately. Many of Dr. Rao’s patients have reported that neck lift surgery produces some of the most stunning enhancements to their overall appearance.

What to Expect During Neck Lift Surgery

A neck lift procedure typically involves the use of general anesthesia. Incisions are strategically placed around your ears, with an additional incision located beneath your chin. If there are localized fat deposits, liposuction may be performed initially. Following this, any sagging or loose skin is meticulously removed, and the underlying tissue and remaining skin are tightened. This process continues until the desired shape and contour are achieved. Although sutures are used, the incisions are strategically positioned beneath your chin, ensuring that scars are inconspicuous.
