What is a Neck Lift?
A neck lift is a surgical procedure that improves irregularities in the jawline and neck, including excess fat, jowling, and banding. By tightening skin and muscle and removing excess skin and fat, it can provide a rejuvenated, refreshed appearance.
Beyond removing excess fat and skin, the procedure is also designed to get rid of jowls, diminish a double chin, and address muscle banding.
Patient Testimonial
Jawline Filler
I visited Dr. Hassanzadeh to enhance my jawline, and she suggested a bit of filler – it was exactly what I needed. Now, two weeks later, I’m absolutely OBSESSED with the results. The change is subtle yet powerful, giving me that perfectly “snatched” jawline I was hoping for.
Dr. Hassanzadeh is also a total sweetheart! She makes you feel welcome and is incredibly knowledgeable about facial aesthetics. While I’m not quite ready for surgery, I’ve seen her surgical work, and I would trust her 1000% with my face when the time comes. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a change, whether surgical or non-surgical!
What are the Benefits of a Neck Lift?
There are many benefits you can look forward to with a neck lift, including:
- Younger-looking appearance: Many problems that are evident with aging including jowling, excess skin, and muscle banding are corrected during this procedure.
- Enhanced jawline contours: A neck lift can create a platform jawline for you while maintaining a natural appearance.
- Long-lasting results: This is a definitive procedure with results that last for years.
- Combines well with a facelift: Because part of the same incision is used for a facelift, a natural adjunct to a neck lift is a facelift.
Overall, a neck lift can provide significant aesthetic improvements, offering a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
The Neck Lift Procedure
Your neck lift will start with the administration of general anesthesia. This ensures you’re completely comfortable and asleep throughout the procedure. From there, Dr. Hassanzadeh will make well-concealed incisions under your chin and behind your ears slightly into your hairline, with a small extension around your earlobes. The skin will then be pulled back, and she’ll resculpt and redistribute fat, tighten skin and neck muscles, and remove excess skin. Liposuction may also be done to remove fat from below the chin. Once everything is addressed, Dr. Hassazadeh will close the incisions and apply a dressing. In total, the procedure tends to take 2-3 hours.
Neck Lift Recovery
After your neck lift, you’ll need someone to drive you home and take care of you for the first 24 hours. You will have swelling, tightness, and bruising, but that will subside as you heal. You may have a surgical drain placed that will be removed by Dr. Hassanzadeh 1-2 days after surgery. You’ll want to rest as much as possible and wear your compression garment to aid in the healing process. You’ll also want to keep your head elevated and avoid twisting or bending your neck. You should also avoid strenuous activities and lifting heavy items and make sure to attend all your follow-up appointments.
Who is a Candidate?
In general, good candidates for a neck lift include generally healthy individuals who don’t have any medical conditions that could negatively affect the healing process. Good candidates are also nonsmokers, those with realistic expectations, and those struggling with wrinkles, sagging skin, and neckbands.
