A neck lift is a surgery that improves the neck's look and, in some instances, the lower face as well. It is frequently referred to as a small facelift since it addresses many of the same issues as a standard facelift. Continue reading to find answers to some of the frequently asked questions about neck lifts.
Many indications of aged tissue in the neck or congenital problems that result in aesthetic concerns can be addressed with a neck lift, including excess skin, fat deposits, lax muscles, jowls, and "turkey neck." The objective is to increase the definition of the jawline so that the patient's profile seems younger.
A potential candidate for a neck lift is anyone who has aesthetic issues that a neck lift can solve. A nonsmoker at or near their target weight, in good overall health, not using medicines that may increase the risk of problems, and who has reasonable expectations for the surgery is the ideal neck lift candidate.
Yes, in most cases. The bones may be at fault. For patients who have a receding chin and a weak jawbone, face implants along the bone may be a better option than or in addition to a neck lift.

Patients will most likely be put under general anesthesia for a neck lift. The scars will be well-hidden because the incisions will be made directly in front of the ears.

The skin will then be restored and sutured to create a more youthful appearance.
Yes. A neck lift may be done with other facial rejuvenation operations such as eyelid surgery or a brow lift.
Most patients take one week off work; the recovery time may be longer, depending on the nature of their job and the rate at which their body heals.
Although patients should resume less stressful activities within a week of their operation, aerobic exercise and other strenuous activities should be reintroduced progressively. By 3-4 weeks after surgery, patients should be able to resume their usual routine.
Although you will experience some immediate effects from your neck lift, these outcomes will increase with time. Some parts of your neck lift may take six months or longer, such as the final look of your facial scars.
