Techniques named for neck lift: Neck lift.
The neck lift surgery is ideally suited for those who have started to experience the signs of aging and have begin to notice the formation of wrinkles and sagging skin in the neck area.
A deep neck lift is a neck contouring procedure performed through a single incision of about 3 to 4 centimetres hidden in the crease under the chin.
A good candidate for a neck lift has a poorly defined jawline, excess fat under their chin, and/or banding in their neck.
If you are looking to address more intensive signs of aging that extend beyond the neck, Dr. Ridgway may also combine the neck lift with complementary surgical procedures, such as a facelift or eyelid surgery .
Many patients choose to combine a facelift with a neck lift , brow lift , or eyelid surgery - addressing multiple concerns in a single surgery, a single recovery, and a single round of anesthesia.
A deep neck lift takes approximately one hour and is typically performed under general anesthesia.
In general, a neck lift is not very painful. Patients can expect a sensation of tightness which improves as the swelling resolves.
A neck lift can provide long-lasting results for 10-15 years.
Enhance your neck lift results with a neck liposuction. If you have excess fat under the chin or along the jawline, Dr. Marosan can use VASER Hi-Def Lipo and/or Renuvion to suction away excess fat deposits and tighten the remaining tissue
A neck lift corrects the loose skin, vertical banding, and blurred jawline that age concentrates below the chin.
If the jawline and face read younger than the neck, a neck lift alone may be enough. When both are aging together, the combined operation is the coherent answer.
With a neck lift, the underlying tissue is tightened and lifted , while the excess skin is removed, to help you achieve a more youthful appearance.
the incisions for a neck lift are made in less noticeable places and difficult for others to see .
Dr. McIntosh tailors each neck lift to the individual’s needs. Depending on the extent of aging signs, the procedure may involve liposuction to remove excess fat, tightening of the platysma muscle, and skin excision to eliminate sagging.
A typical neck lift surgery lasts between 1 and 4 hours, depending on the complexity. Incisions are strategically placed under the chin and/or behind the ears to minimize visible scarring.
Many patients consider a neck lift to address a double chin
When your jawline is affected by loose, excess skin, the only way to achieve lasting, significant results is with a lower facelift or neck lift.
Neck Lift generally runs $8,000–$16,000 per procedure, and each Bellevue clinic sets its own price. The biggest variables are the provider's experience level and the specific device or product used. Newer technology and senior injectors price at the upper end. Pricing is quoted in US dollars (USD). Request a consultation from any of our listed Bellevue clinics for a personalized quote.
Maintenance schedules vary. Most Bellevue providers recommend periodic refresh sessions every 6–12 months once optimal results are achieved.
Most patients wait 24 hours before applying makeup to avoid irritation on freshly-treated skin.
Nationally, $8,000 to $16,000 including surgeon, anesthesia, and facility. A limited submental platysmaplasty through a single incision under the chin sits at the lower end. A full neck lift with incisions behind the ears and skin removal sits higher. Combining it with a facelift raises the total but costs meaningfully less than doing the two operations separately.
They are neighbors, not synonyms. A facelift repositions the deeper tissue of the cheeks and jawline. A neck lift works below the jaw, tightening the platysma muscle, removing fat above or below it, and trimming loose skin. Many patients need both and have them together. Someone whose face has held up but whose neck has not is the classic candidate for a neck lift alone.
Each has a narrow lane. Botox can soften early muscle bands for a few months. Kybella and CoolSculpting remove fat under the chin but do nothing for loose skin or muscle, and removing fat under lax skin can make hanging worse. Ultrasound and radiofrequency devices tighten mild laxity modestly. Established bands and hanging skin are structural, and surgery is the only treatment that corrects structure.
The platysma is a thin sheet of muscle just under the skin of the neck. With age its front edges loosen and separate, and those edges show through the skin as two vertical cords. They tend to appear in the fifties and become more visible with animation. A platysmaplasty stitches the edges back together in the midline, which is why no cream or injectable reaches the problem.
The workhorse incision hides in the natural crease under the chin and typically heals to a faint line. When skin needs removing, incisions run behind the ears and into the hairline, in the same well-hidden pattern facelifts use. Neck skin heals well in most patients, and visible scarring is uncommon with a surgeon who closes without tension.
