Do I have to get a facelift with my neck lift?

By Experts Admin · Comments (0) · Saturday, October 13th, 2018

When it comes to facial rejuvenation, the neck is often neglected, which is unfortunate, since it tends to show signs of aging long before the face does. So you can have a great looking face but a neck that easily gives away your age. A neck lift is a superb way to rejuvenate the neck and refresh your appearance, but do you have to get a facelift with your neck lift.

Neck Lift
A neck lift is a surgical procedure that is done to tone and tighten the neck. This includes removing excess skin that causes the neck skin to droop and sag, and tightening the neck muscles.

Do I have to get a facelift with my neck lift?
It depends on the signs of aging present on the face and neck. If you do not have jowls or significant aging in the lower face, a neck lift may be all you need to refine the chin and neck, and achieve a more youthful appearance (click here to learn more).

However, if you have jowls and sagging neck skin, the plastic surgeon may recommend combining a facelift with a neck lift. Since the jowls and neck form a continuous area, doing both a facelift and neck lift at the same time will refine the jawline and deliver optimal facial rejuvenation results. Doing a neck lift will only provide subtle improvement to the jowls.

If your main concern is aging in the neck area, and you’re not sure if you may need a facelift as well, it’s best to consult with a qualified, experienced plastic surgeon for an evaluation.

It typically takes 10-14 days to heal after neck lift surgery. There is generally some pain and swelling after the procedure, but pain medication is prescribed.

Regain a Younger Looking Neck with Neck Lift Surgery – Orange County

By Experts in Plastic Surgery · Comments (0) · Tuesday, January 28th, 2014

Sagging neck skin and a wavering jawline are common signs of age, and they can certainly make you look old. However neck lift surgery can tackle these neck insecurities, and make you feel confident once again. Each year, surgeons in Beverly Hills and other parts of the US perform hundreds of neck lift surgeries.

Why you may need a neck lift

The skin in the neck area is naturally very thin, and this accounts for the rapid decline that takes place as the years pass. For most people, the skin in the area between the neck and the jawline starts to decline by the early 40’s. The loss of elasticity, coupled with sagging muscles, often makes the neck look dry and unattractive.

Neck Lift Surgery

Neck lift surgery can tighten loose neck skin, and restore the once taut right angle between the neck and jaw. Surgery is done under general anesthesia, and the operation lasts for about 2 hours. Incisions for the neck lift are generally made behind the ears. However, there are times when the surgeon will take the decision to make the incisions under the chin.

The operation involves the removal of excess skin, as well as the repositioning of the muscles and tissue. There will be some swelling and pain after surgery, but your surgeon will likely prescribe painkillers to reduce the discomfort. Recovery time varies, but takes about 4 weeks on average.

The neck will appear very natural after the neck lift, so your friends won’t be able to tell that you’ve had work done. If your neck has begun to take on a crepe-like appearance, then you may consider doing a neck lift. Why not consult your plastic surgeon in Orange County to find out if the procedure is right for you.
