A surgical procedure that improves the visible signs of aging in the jawline and neck is called as Neck Lift or Lower Rhytidectomy.
A surgical procedure that improves the visible signs of aging in the jawline and neck is called a Neck Lift or Lower Rhytidectomy. Gravity, environmental conditions, and stress contribute to signs of aging in the face and neck. Wrinkles, vertical muscle bands, and excess sagging skin (turkey neck) appear in the neck as men and women age. Neck contouring surgery gives the neck a firm, smooth and graceful outline. It dramatically improves one's appearance, helping them look years younger or even as if they have lost weight. A neck lift also helps to restore balance to facial features by providing a better-defined jawline that frames the rest of the face.
Neck lift treats loose skin of the neck, and excess deposits of fat under the chin and removes abnormal contours created by muscle bands in the neck. A neck lift can also remove the jowls from the jawline- excess skin and fat redundancy in the lower face. Mostly neck lift is part of a face-lift procedure, but it can be done separately if you're happy with the appearance of your face. So, when the neck area does not match the upper facial appearance, the patient should undergo neck lift surgery only.
A Neck lift can be done in conjunction with the other facial rejuvenation procedures, such as Brow lift, Fat transfer, Eyelid surgery, Chin correction, Blepharoplasty, Face lift for more comprehensive improvements in face.
A Neck lift is a restorative surgery, and it can give your face a near youthful appearance, but it cannot change the overall appearance of the neck. Secondly it cannot stop the aging process. This is a surgical procedure and gives desired results which cannot be achieved by non-surgical procedures, though they can help in delaying the surgical procedure and when done after the surgery, they enhance the results of surgery.
Full Neck lift Incision: Incision begins at inside of front of the ear which continues down around the ear and ends in the hair on the side of your scalp. A small incision is given at the chin also for dissection of the skin and the muscle. The underlying tissues of the neck skin are then repositioned, and the platysma muscle is tightened. Fat is redistributed from the neck area and the jowls. The excess skin is trimmed and skin is red raped over the uplifted contours.
Limited incision Neck Lift: Incision is made only around the ear. Since the incision is shorter, so its result is also limited. So it is done for men and women with lesser deformity, less skin excess and bands.
Neck liposuction can be combined with neck lift surgery. A small incision is made at the chin level and behind the ears and the liposuction is done to remove extra deposits of fat not targeted by neck lift.
Botox injection to few remaining platysmal bands after the surgery to relax the muscle and remove the fullness associated with the bands.
Nano fat grafting for skin rejuvenation will give skin its glow and a much youthful appearance.
A Face lift is combined with neck lift in good number of men and women.
After the surgery, the incisions are closed with the help of sutures and skin glue. We may place a thin tube to drain any excess fluid or blood which may collect under the skin. The sutures placed are removed after a few days. After the completion of the healing process, the incision lines are finely concealed within the hairline and in the natural contours of the ear.
The result can be immediately seen after the surgery but is seen after the swelling and bruising subside.
After this Neck Lift surgery, you not only restore a more youthful and rested appearance but it also makes you feel more confident about yourself.
After the surgery, dressings are applied to the surgical area. You will be discharged the next day of the surgery after the drains are removed followed by the weekly visits or as suggested by Dr. Amit Agarwal. We may send you home with a drain if there is excess fluid in the body. It might be preferable to remove the drain at a follow-up visit. You will be made to walk a few hours post-surgery or the very following day, depending on your will and wish.
The risks and complications, if any, considering your medical conditions will be discussed with you before surgery. Still, if you have any other questions in your mind, never hesitate to ask Dr. Amit Agarwal.
These are the risks and possible complications which should be discussed by you with Dr Amit Agarwal before the procedure.
Usually Neck Lift surgery results can take time upto 3-4 weeks for swelling to fully subside and it takes up tosix months for the incision lines to mature.
Results are long-lasting and will age naturally with the individual.
Permanent and continuous use of sunblock and a healthy change in your lifestyle will extend the results of the surgery and give you a more youthful appearance.
If you have excess fat in the lower face, fatty deposits under the chin, loose neck skin or muscle banding creating abnormal contours then you are a perfectly suitable candidate for the procedure.
Recovery period after the surgery is usually of three weeks but it also depends on your body as how fast the healing occurs.
You will be expected to follow the doctor's instructions so that you can get the max and desirable results.
If you remain protected from sun for longer, the results will be better and maintaining a healthy lifestyle will help you to rejuvenate for longer periods.
