Neck Lift
Lift And Restore Aging Neck Skin At Champs-Élysées Aesthetic Medical Center
The aging process doesn’t spare our necks, and its effects extend beyond our chins. Over time, the skin on our neck and décolletage loses collagen and elasticity, leading to sagging skin in the lower face and neck. Concerns like the “turkey wattle,” a double chin, jowls, excess skin, or unwanted neck fat can arise. A neck lift, also known as a lower rhytidectomy, can address these issues by tightening sagging neck muscles and removing excess tissue. This procedure restores a more defined contour to the neck and jawline. If you desire a rejuvenated appearance but aren’t ready for a full facelift, Champs-Élysées Aesthetic Medical Center’s skilled plastic surgeons can assist you. Our Dubai practice is renowned for achieving beautiful and youthful results through advanced neck lift procedures and techniques.
Benefits Of Neck Lift Surgery
- Smooth Skin: A neck lift can eliminate, tighten, and smooth sagging neck skin, reducing the appearance of necklines and wrinkles.
- Tighten Muscles: Neck lift surgery tightens the underlying neck muscles, reducing loose skin and enhancing neck contour for a slenderer look.
- Restore Confidence: A youthful-looking neckline can boost self-esteem and confidence.
- Discreet Scarring: Neck lift incisions are strategically placed behind the hairline, ears, and beneath the chin, resulting in scars that are nearly invisible to the untrained eye.
Short Recovery: Neck lift recovery is typically brief, requiring only about one week of downtime
What To Expect From Your Neck Lift Procedure? Preparing For Your Neck Lift:
During your initial consultation, our plastic surgeon will discuss your goals for neck rejuvenation, conduct a physical examination of your neck, and provide information about the procedure. We’ll ensure that your expectations are realistic and tailor a customized treatment plan to achieve your desired results. If you decide to proceed with neck lift surgery, we will provide you with detailed pre-operative instructions.
How Is Neck Lift Surgery Performed?
Neck lift surgery is an outpatient procedure conducted under general anesthesia at our surgical center. Before starting the surgery, your plastic surgeon will review your treatment plan.
Depending on your specific requirements, you will undergo one of two neck lifting techniques:
- Traditional Neck Lift: Incisions start behind the hairline adjacent to the upper ear lobes, extend down and under the ears, and end in the posterior hairline. The platysma muscle is tightened, excess tissue is excised, and fat is sculpted from the neck and jowls. The skin is repositioned over the new neck contour, and sutures are placed. In some cases, a separate incision under the chin may be necessary to repair the muscle and perform liposuction in this area.
- Limited Incision Neck Lift: This technique involves smaller incisions around the ears, resulting in less dramatic results. It is suitable for those who require only minor corrections to achieve their aesthetic goals.
Recovery After Neck Lift Surgery
After leaving our surgical facility, your incisions will be wrapped with a skin-conforming bandage to minimize bruising and swelling and help your skin adapt to its new contours. You may also have drainage tubes to remove excess fluid or blood. Some mild discomfort is common in the first few days, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication. You should plan for one week of downtime before resuming regular activities. A follow-up appointment approximately one month after surgery will ensure proper healing and satisfaction with your results.
Who Is A Good Candidate For Neck Lift Surgery?
If you feel that your neck is showing signs of aging faster than your upper face, a neck lift may be suitable. Ideal candidates are non-smokers in good general health.
How Long Will My Results Last?
Neck lift results are permanent, but your skin will continue to age naturally. Typically, a well-performed neck lift should maintain its effects for about 15 years before signs of aging become more noticeable.
What Will My Scars Look Like?
Scars will be subtly concealed behind the hairline and within the natural creases of your skin, making them nearly imperceptible. We also offer laser treatments to further reduce visible scarring if you have concerns.
Can A Neck Lift Be Combined With Other Procedures?
Yes, neck lift surgery is often combined with other procedures to achieve optimal results. Many patients choose a comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan that includes Botox, dermal fillers, or other facial plastic surgery procedures like facelift, brow lift, or eyelid lift.
