Introduction
The loss of youthful contours in the face and neck can be due to a variety of factors, including heredity, gravity, environmental conditions and stress. When the neck area doesn’t match the upper facial appearance, a neck lift may be a good solution.
Overview
A neck lift is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess skin and fat around the jaw line, creating a more defined and youthful-looking neck.
Results can be long lasting. But neck lift surgery can’t stop the aging process. Neck lifts also are known as neck rejuvenations.
Benefits of neck lift surgery
The most important benefits of neck lift surgery are mentioned below:
- Tightening of the underlying muscles: This reduces the appearance of loose skin and gives the impression of a more youthful appearance.
- Smoother skin: By pulling the skin tighter, a neck lift will help eliminate lines and wrinkles, resulting in instant rejuvenation.
- Removal of excess skin: By removing any excess skin in the treatment area, a neck lift will help shed years off your face and make you feel more comfortable in your skin.
- Minimal scarring: The incisions made for a neck lift are usually hidden in the hairline behind the ears and under the chin, giving you discreet results.
- Improved confidence: If the appearance of your neck is getting you down, then a neck lift could be a great way to address any issues and help you feel attractive once more.
prepare for neck lift surgery
When preparing for plastic surgery, you’ll want to tell the doctor about all of the medications, supplements and vitamins you use since these can affect blood flow and create other problems.
You also should provide information concerning your overall health and any medical conditions, like diabetes, that you might have.
Don’t be afraid to ask your doctor questions about your treatment plan. You want to be as informed as possible before your neck lift procedure.
A neck lift may be performed in an accredited office-based surgical facility, licensed ambulatory surgical center or a hospital.
Since your neck lift will be performed on an outpatient basis, be sure to arrange for someone to drive you to and from surgery and to stay with you for at least the first night following surgery.
steps of neck lift procedure
A neck lift procedure includes the following steps:
Step 1 –Anesthesia:
Plastic surgeons use general anesthesia or intravenous sedation prior to starting a neck lift procedure. The physician looks over the patient’s medical records and then recommends the type of anesthesia.
Step 2 -The incision:
The surgeon typically makes incisions behind the ears and under the chin, allowing access to the underlying tissues without leaving noticeable scars.
Step 3 -Closing the incisions:
Next, the surgeon closes the incisions with skin glue or sutures. The incision lines are located within the hairline, so the scars should not be visible once healed.
Step 4 -See the results:
The visible improvements of a neck lift appear as swelling and bruising subside. Your final neck lift result should not only restore a more youthful and rested appearance, but also help you feel more confident about yourself.
recovery after neck lift
Swelling, discomfort and tightness are common after a neck lift procedure. These side effects are usually gone within two weeks.
A person will often go home on the same day as their surgery, but they may also stay in hospital overnight. If the person does go home on the same day, they should ensure a responsible adult stays with them for the night.
Risks and complications of neck lift
There are several risks and complication associated with neck lift surgery, these include:
Scarring:
A person may develop scars from the surgery. These scars will often fade to become paler over 12–18 months. In some cases, a person may need to have surgery to correct them.
Bleeding:
In some instances, a person may bleed during surgery. They may require a blood transfusion or another operation to stop the bleeding. Small areas of bleeding can also cause irregularities in the person’s skin, which usually settle in the months after the operation.
Loss of blood supply to the skin:
Neck lift surgery can cause the loss of blood supply to skin, which can cause areas of the skin to die. If this happens, a person may need another operation. This complication can also affect the final result of a person’s surgery.
Skin color changes:
After the surgery, a person may develop some change to the color of their skin where the procedure took place. A person can usually cover this change with makeup.
Infection:
A person may develop an infection in the wound after their operation. If they do, they may require antibiotics to treat
the infection.
What is a neck lift surgery
A neck lift surgery, also known as cervicoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of the neck and jawline. This surgery targets excess skin and fatty deposits that may cause sagging or wrinkles, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
How long does it take to recover after a neck lift?
Recovery after a neck lift typically varies from person to person. Generally, most individuals can expect to see initial healing within two weeks, during which swelling and bruising may gradually subside. However, complete recovery, where the final results become fully apparent, can take up to three to six months.
Where are the cuts made for a neck lift?
Neck lift incisions are typically made in strategic locations to minimize visibility while ensuring effective results. Most commonly, the incisions are located behind the ears and may extend into the hairline or under the chin. This placement allows the surgeon to tighten the underlying muscles and remove excess skin without leaving prominent scars.
How long does it take for scars to heal in a neck lift surgery?
The healing time for scars following a neck lift surgery can vary significantly from person to person. Typically, initial healing may take around two to three weeks, during which swelling and redness might be prominent. However, it often takes several months for scars to mature and fade.
