A neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy or neck rejuvenation, is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the neck by addressing signs of neck aging, such as sagging skin, excess fat, and muscle laxity. It involves tightening the neck muscles, removing or redistributing excess fat, and repositioning or removing loose skin to create a more youthful and defined neck contour. In addition, neck lifts can address issues like double chin, jowls, neck bands, and a “turkey neck” appearance. This procedure aims to rejuvenate the neck area, resulting in a smoother, firmer, and more rejuvenated appearance.
The neck lift procedure can benefit individuals experiencing signs of skin aging or who have lost weight and are dealing with excess neck skin. The steps of the neck lift procedure are as follows:
The neck lift consultation with Dr. Askari, a skilled and experienced surgeon, is the initial step in the procedure. You can discuss your goals directly with Dr. Askari during this neck lift consultation. He will assess your health history, perform a thorough physical examination of your neck, and engage in a comprehensive discussion to understand your desired look. Dr. Askari will then provide expert insights and discuss various options tailored to your needs, allowing you to make informed decisions about achieving your desired outcome.
You’ll be given specific instructions on diet, smoking, and medications to prepare for the operation. Make plans for a driver, and Have someone accompany you at least the first night following surgery.
Before the procedure begins, patients will be given anesthesia to ensure they are relaxed and pain-free. Both local anesthesias with sedation and general anesthesia are commonly used for neck lift surgery, and the preference may vary depending on Dr. Askari’s recommendation and the patient’s needs.
Tiny incisions will be made under the chin and behind the ears. Dr. Askari can access the neck muscles and tissues that need adjustment or removal through this small incision.
Once the incisions are made, the surgeon carefully removes any excess skin, preserving the natural contours of the neck. After the skin has been removed, Dr. Askari may tighten the muscles in the neck to improve the shape and firmness of the neck and jawline, typically done by making incisions in the platysma muscle, which is the thin muscle that covers the neck. Dr. Askari then repositions and tightens the muscle to create a more defined jawline and smoother neck contour.
After making the necessary modifications, Dr. Askari will carefully suture the incision closed using specialized techniques designed to minimize scarring and ensure proper healing. Sometimes, To aid in reducing swelling and fostering healing in the affected area, Dr. Askari may additionally employ a drain.
The patient can view the initial results once the neck lift is complete. While some bruising and swelling are anticipated in the days and weeks after the procedure, most patients can see a significant improvement in the appearance of their neck and jawline immediately. When the swelling goes down, the full results of the procedure will become even more apparent.
Neck lift candidates should have excess skin or fat in the neck area that is causing sagging, wrinkles, or a double chin.
Smoking may accelerate the risk of complications during and after neck lift surgery and have an adverse effect on the healing process. Therefore, before and during the treatment, candidates should abstain from smoking or be willing to quit smoking.
Significant weight fluctuations in an individual can affect the surgery results.
During the first week, the patient should rest while keeping their head elevated and avoid strenuous activity. After that, they may experience discomfort, swelling, and bruising and may need to wear dressings and a compression garment.
In the second week, patients might begin to feel more at ease and begin to be able to resume gentle exercise. In addition, swelling and bruising may start to subside.
Patients may notice improvements in their appearance and could be able to return to some moderate activity during the third week. In addition, swelling and bruising may continue to improve.
By the fourth week, most patients should be able to resume normal activities, although strenuous exercise should still be avoided.
