Neck lift

Who is a candidate for neck lift surgery? Many people experience a drooping of the neck skin and development of fullness or folds of skin under the chin (the “turkey gobbler”), this can add years on to your appearance. Neck lift surgery is for medically fit individuals looking to improve the appearance of their neck.

Planned Results: Decreased fullness of fat and decreased excess skin of the neck and restored jaw line contour.

Procedure Description: There are several different ways to complete a neck lift. Neck lift is always performed under general anesthetic. You will need an adult to drive you home and stay the night with you. Private nursing care can be arranged through U Cosmetic for an additional fee.

The incisions used will depend on the amount of excess skin and fat to be removed as well as other procedures planned for the same surgery. Possible incisions include: under the chin, behind the ears and an extension of facelift incisions. Incisions will be closed with nondissolving sutures which will be removed in 5 to 7 days. Permanent, nondissolving stitches may be placed with the deep tissues of the neck to improve the contour.

Recuperation and Healing: You can expect to have swelling, bruising and some discomfort. You will be discharged home with prescription medications to keep you comfortable. You will be required to wear a special garment following the surgery for 4 weeks and this will be provided by U Cosmetic. You may have drains in place following the surgery and you will be given detailed instructions on how to care for the drains.

Notes: Neck lift surgery is often combined with other surgeries such as facelift and submental liposuction (liposuction under the chin) in order to achieve optimal rejuvenation. Neck lift surgery will not affect the texture of the neck skin or any discolouration or blotchiness. Photorejuvenation, Pixel laser resurfacing or chemical peels follow the neck lift surgery in order to improve the overall appearance. Sun protection is extremely important as is a home skincare routine. A skin care routine will be customized for you and products recommended. Kelocote scar gel can be used to improve the appearance of any incisions. All potential complications will be discussed with you at your consultation.
