Neck Lift

The neck is one of the areas of the body that betrays the signs of aging most visibly. The skin begins to sag, a double chin may form, and the neck muscles start to stick out as unsightly vertical bands. All of these concerns can be wonderfully addressed by a surgical neck lift with Dr. Poulos, restoring a youthful, inviting appearance while boosting your self-image.

What is a neck lift?

As we age, our neck changes. Patients commonly describe the area as a “turkey wattle” with excess skin. A droopy neckline can cause self-consciousness and social discomfort, especially when viewing one’s photo from the side.

Before surgery, many of our patients had to resort to hiding their neckline with scarves, high-necked blouses, and turtlenecks. In contrast, a smooth, taut neckline is youthful and alluring.

A neck lift can help restore the look of your youth by improving the overall contour of your neck, reducing crepiness, and strengthening the jawline profile. A neck lift is oftentimes performed in conjunction with other facial surgeries. A neck lift consists of:

Cervicoplasty–the procedure used to remove excess skin
Platysmaplasty–the procedure to improve the appearance of neck muscles

What will my recovery be like?

After a neck lift, most patients experience some moderate swelling and bruising, which is natural. The swelling will peak within the first few days, and then gradually subside over the course of two-three weeks. Dr. Poulos will provide you with pain medications to help ease any discomfort, and you can apply cold compresses, being sure to keep your head elevated while lying down.

Within a few weeks you can return to your normal schedule, reintroducing exercise at about three-four weeks post-op. Dr. Poulos will continue to follow up with you after surgery, ensuring your recovery is swift and manageable.
