Necklift

A neck lift is a surgical procedure that improves visible signs of aging in the jawline and neck.

Neck lift surgery can treat:

•   Excess fat and skin relaxation in the lower face that creates jowls,

•   Excess fatty deposits under the chin,

•   Loose neck skin,

•   Muscle banding in the neck, which created abnormal contours,

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.

​

Who is the best candidate for neck lift:

You may be a good candidate for neck lift if you:

•   Are physically healthy,

•   Are a nonsmoker,

•   Have a positive outlook and realistic expectations,

A preliminary consultation will be done from your pictures and medical background. Then upon request we can organise an online consultation for you before you arrive. Once you are here you will have your consultation with the doctor. During your consultation you can get answers to all your questions. We are never in a hurry and listen to all your questions and doubts.

In your consultation you need to discuss with your doctor these topics:

•   The reason that you want to have your operation

•   Your expectations and the desired outcome

•   If you have any medical conditions, any drug allergies and previous medical treatments

•   If you are using any medications, vitamins, herbal supplements, alcohol, tobacco or drugs.

Your plastic surgeon will also:

•   Evaluate your health status,

•   Examine your neck area,

•   Take your photographs,

•   Speak with you about the options and give recommendation,

•   Discuss likely outcomes of neck lift and any risks or potential complications

The operation consists in three phases. The beginning phase is the anesthesia, your operation will be performed in general anesthesia. Traditional neck lift incision often begins in the hairline at the level of the sideburn, continues down and around the ear and ends in the posterior hair. Fat may be sculpted or redistributed from the jowls and neck. The tissue underlying the neck skin is repositioned, and commonly the platysma muscle is tightened. Skin is redraped over the uplifted contours and excess skin is trimmed away. A separate incision under the chin is often necessary for liposuction of this area and for repair of the muscle. Sutures or skin adhesives close the incisions.

Last phase is closing incisions. The incisions will be closed with sutures that may dissolve or may need to be removed after a few days. Once healed, the incision lines from a neck lift are usually well concealed within the hairline and in the natural contours of the ear.

Following completion of a neck lift, a bandage might be placed around your neck to minimalize swelling and bruising. Small tubes may be present to draw off any excess blood or fluid.

You will be given specific instructions on how to care for the surgical site and drains, medications to apply or take them orally.
