Neck Lift

Turn Two Chins Back Into One

Excess skin that has lost its elasticity and exhibits banding, can cause you to appear as if you have a heavy neck, double chin or turkey gobbler. A neck lift can help tighten the skin, which helps create a more youthful appearance.

Procedure Overview: Neck Lift

1. An incision is made in front of and behind the ear and excess skin is removed.

2. Another incision is made under the chin and the plastysma muscle is tightened.

3. Excess skin from the neck and jawline are then removed.

Recovery Time: Neck Lift

Immediate recovery time is 7-10 days and you can return to work in 1-2 weeks. For the first night after the neck lift, your neck and head will be covered in a compression wrap. After you remove it the next day, you can shampoo and shower normally.

All sutures and staples will be removed during your 10-day post operation visit. You may experience some swelling and bruising after your operation that can last as long as three weeks. Also, you must avoid aerobic exercise, sports and weightlifting for six weeks.
