Neck Lift

As the years go by, the delicate skin around the neck is often one of the first areas to show signs of aging. Drooping skin, vertical banding, and excess fat can contribute to an appearance that may not reflect the vitality you feel inside. Many times a facelift and necklift will be performed at the same time. For a youthful, defined neckline, a neck lift with Dr. Justin B. Cohen can provide the rejuvenation you desire.

A Targeted Approach

A neck lift is a surgical procedure that carefully removes excess skin, tightens underlying muscles, and can remove or reposition fat deposits, salivary glands, smooth away jowls, and reduce the appearance of banding at the neck. Every patient is unique, so each surgery is different and seeks to target that patient’s points of interest or concern.

What Should I Expect in a Neck Lift?

Everything starts with a personal consultation. During this initial meeting, the doctor will carefully assess your neck and facial structure and explain the procedure in detail. On the day of your surgery, the neck lift will be performed in the operating room general. The procedure typically takes 3 to 4 hours. Following surgery, you can expect to see an immediate improvement in the contour of your neck, with full results becoming more apparent as swelling subsides in the following weeks.

What Can a Neck Lift Treat?

Enhances Chin and Neck Definition: Sharpens the angle between the chin and neck, enhancing overall facial balance.
Restores Youthful Contours: Revitalizes the neck area, creating a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
Tightens Loose Skin: Removes excess skin to create a smoother, firmer neck contour.

Reduces Wrinkles: Minimizes the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the neck.
Smooths Away Jowls: Lifts and redefines the jawline, reducing the appearance of jowls.
Improves Neck Banding: Smooths vertical bands and tightens underlying muscles for a more refined, smooth look.

What is the Recovery Time?

Recovery from a neck lift is generally smooth, but it is vital that you follow Dr. Cohen’s post-operative care instructions for the best results. In the first few days, you may experience swelling, discoloration, and tightness in the neck area. Plan to be off from work or other activities and enjoy resting at home during this time. Most patients can return to light activities within a week, and many feel comfortable returning to work or other tasks after 14 days. It’s important to avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for at least 4 to 6 weeks to allow your body to heal as it should.
