Why This Procedure Might Be Perfect for You
It is not possible to camouflage sagging skin in the neck with dermal fillers. You may be a good candidate for neck lift facial plastic surgery if you are in good general health and have:
- A double chin
- A poorly defined jawline
- Sagging neck skin (“turkey neck”)
- Vertical muscle bands in the neck
- Neck wrinkles and creases
Enhancements You Can Expect from a Neck Lift
A neck lift effectively addresses sagging or drooping skin, helping to smooth and tone the neck area.
This procedure eliminates unwanted fat deposits, often responsible for creating a "turkey neck" or double chin.
By tightening the underlying muscles, the surgery provides a smoother, more youthful neck contour.
Patients enjoy a rejuvenated look, with natural-looking results that enhance their overall facial profile.
The Major Types of Neck Lifts
Submental liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that removes excess fat beneath the chin to improve jawline definition and reduce the appearance of a double chin. It is best suited for patients with good skin elasticity who have localized fat but minimal skin laxity or muscle banding. Unlike a neck lift, submental liposuction addresses fat alone and does not tighten loose skin or underlying neck muscles.
An extended neck lift is designed for patients with more advanced aging changes affecting both the neck and lower face. The procedure addresses loose skin, underlying muscles, and deeper tissue support to create improved definition throughout the jawline and neck. Treatment recommendations are based on your anatomy rather than age alone, ensuring the most appropriate surgical approach for your individual needs.
What to Expect with Your Neck Lift
The Consultation
Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation with Dr. Ardesh. During this session, he will evaluate your nose’s form and function, listen to your goals, and discuss potential outcomes. You’ll receive a detailed explanation of the recommended surgical approach (whether open or closed rhinoplasty) and what to expect in terms of recovery and results.
The Procedure
Rhinoplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. The surgery can take anywhere from 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the complexity. Dr. Ardesh will carefully sculpt the nasal bones and cartilage to achieve the desired shape, making adjustments to improve both aesthetics and nasal function. After the surgery, the nose is bandaged and protected with a splint, which helps with healing and maintaining the new shape.
Post-Op Care
In the initial days after surgery, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and minor discomfort, especially around the eyes and nose. It’s important to keep your head elevated and avoid strenuous activities for several weeks to promote healing. Dr. Ardesh will provide detailed post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your progress.
How Long Is the Recovery After Neck Lift Surgery?
Recovery after neck lift surgery varies depending on the extent of the procedure and your individual healing process. Most patients can return to work and light daily activities within 10 to 14 days, while bruising, swelling, and mild tightness gradually improve over the following weeks.
As healing progresses, the neck contour continues to refine, with final results becoming more visible over the next several months. Dr. Ardesh provides personalized post-operative care and recovery guidelines to support optimal healing and natural-looking, long-lasting results.
