Are you tired of wearing scarves or turtlenecks throughout the entire year just to conceal loose, flabby skin on your neck? If so, our team of accomplished plastic surgeons offers cosmetic enhancements at our office in Tacoma, WA to improve the appearance of an aging neck. Neck lift surgery serves to tighten the section under your chin, as well as the entire neck area, to diminish the appearance of a "double chin" or "turkey neck." By taking away the excess skin and fat while incorporating a tightening method to produce a softer neckline, this lower facial procedure at Aesthetic Surgery Centre & MedSpa can provide significant improvements to your profile. Before you call to schedule an appointment, read more about neck lift surgery and the beautiful results it can create.
Men and women desiring neck lift surgery often battle visibly loose skin along the neckline. This hanging skin can be caused by numerous factors, including gravity, weight fluctuations, and aging. Regardless of the reason, dangling neck skin generally results in an unbecoming look that can only be addressed with skin removal and/or tightening. If your weight is stable, but you constantly feel frustrated by lines, wrinkles, and hanging skin on the neck, a neck lift surgery may be a great option for you.
During a neck lift procedure, general anesthesia is used. An incision is placed around your ears, and if necessary, underneath your chin. If pockets of fat exist, fat removal with liposuction is completed first. Following that, any sagging or hanging skin will be trimmed away and the remaining skin will be pulled tight. This tightening method is performed until the desired contour, shape, and smoothness has been attained. Although sutures are used to close the incision, scarring should not be visible due to the location of your incisions. An injection, such as Kybella, may also be used to enhance your results. Furthermore, other nonsurgical alternatives can help the skin's surface, such as laser treatments or a peel, to create a soft and smooth appearance.
After neck lift surgery, there will most likely be some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, but these effects will go away after a week or two. It's important to rest and cease any high-impact movements and activities for several weeks to allow yourself plenty of time to heal. During your recovery, fitted tops should be avoided. You should see the effects of your results almost immediately.
How much does a neck lift cost?
The price of your neck lift will be discussed during your consultation. Once we have created your treatment plan, we can estimate your costs. To make your neck lift affordable, Aesthetic Surgery Centre & MedSpa accepts many payments methods. We can also give you information about low-interest financing.
What about nonsurgical options?
Surgery is the only way to excise loose skin, especially if it hangs or droops. While there are a few nonsurgical skin tightening treatments that can produce some improvements, surgery provides more dramatic enhancements to the contours of your neck. A new and popular treatment called Kybella reduces fat in the upper neck, but it does not address loose skin.
Will I have visible scars?
Neck lift surgery does involve incisions below the chin and two more near the ears. However, these are placed so that they are difficult for others to see. We make every effort during your surgery to limit visible scarring. You will also be given scar care instructions that will help your incisions to heal properly so they are thin and flat.
Can I combine a neck lift with other facial surgeries?
During your consultation, you can mention that you may be considering another procedure, such as a facelift or a chin implant, in addition to a neck lift. It is common for these additional procedures to be combined to achieve the best results. If you have any concerns about a weak chin or undefined jawline, talk to us so we can work with you to create a comprehensive treatment plan.
Should I get a neck lift or liposuction?
Depending on your needs and goals, you may want to combine a neck lift with liposuction. This can help if you have both excess skin and pockets of fat in your neck. We will help you decide whether a lift, liposuction, or both should be part of your treatment plan during your consultation.
