Neck Lift

Elegance Restored, From Chin to Collarbone

Loose, sagging skin on the neck can make the face look prematurely aged, creating the appearance of “turkey neck” or deep lines. A neck lift is an ideal surgical solution for individuals seeking a more youthful, refined neckline. By tightening the muscles and removing excess skin, this procedure delivers long-lasting results that help you regain a smooth, defined neck and jawline. At ARCmd in Weston, we offer neck lift procedures tailored to your individual needs to help restore confidence and enhance your appearance.

WHAT IS A

Neck Lift?

A neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgery designed to tighten sagging neck skin, eliminate wrinkles, and smooth the underlying muscle structure. The procedure typically involves removing excess skin, repositioning or tightening the platysma muscles, and sometimes liposuction to remove any accumulated fat. This combination creates a more defined neck and jawline, enhancing the overall appearance of the face.

Advantages

Smoother, firmer neck skin.
Reduced appearance of “turkey neck.”
Enhanced jawline definition.
Removal of excess fat deposits.
Long-lasting results, up to 10 years or more.
Reduced wrinkles and fine lines on the neck.
Improved balance between the face and neck.

Target Concerns

A neck lift is particularly effective for individuals who are experiencing:

Loose, sagging skin. Over time, the skin loses its elasticity, and gravity causes the neck to droop.
Excess fat deposits. These can accumulate under the chin and along the jawline, contributing to a double chin or undefined neck.
Neck bands. Vertical bands or lines appear as a result of weakened neck muscles.
Wrinkles and creases. Fine lines and deeper wrinkles form on the neck with age, especially after weight loss or sun damage.

What to Expect During Treatment

A neck lift procedure typically takes 2 to 4 hours and is performed under general anesthesia or sedation. Small incisions are made below the chin and around the ears, allowing the surgeon to remove excess skin, tighten the platysma muscles, and re-drape the remaining skin smoothly. Liposuction may also be used to remove fat deposits, enhancing the contour of the neck.

How Long Do Results Last?

Results from a neck lift can last for 10 years or longer, depending on factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and sun exposure. Following the procedure, it is essential to adhere to proper aftercare, including:

Avoid strenuous activities for the first 4 to 6 weeks.
Keep the head elevated to minimize swelling.
Use sunscreen regularly to protect the skin and prevent future damage.
Stay hydrated and follow a healthy diet to support your skin’s natural healing and maintain elasticity.
