A neck lift involves making incisions behind and in front of your ears to tighten and reshape your neck. It is designed to smoothen the neck but not achieve the same results that a facelift. You can read on for more details. This is not a recommended procedure for those who aren't susceptible to facial lines. This procedure is not recommended for treating neck-wrinkle issues.
Neck lift is an isolated procedure
An isolated necklift is a type of surgery that involves reshaping the skin on the neck, without removing the whole face. This procedure reduces neck fat and makes the neck look sharper. The surgeon can also adjust the position of the platysma muscles and remove excess fat. Depending on your neck tissues, an individual neck lift might also include the placement a chin implants. This procedure involves an incision below the ear with the neck skin being tightened behind the ears. The procedure usually takes between twelve and fourteen days to complete.
Mini-facelift
Mini-facelifts can be a common form of cosmetic surgery. They improve the appearance of the neck and do not require a full facelift. This type of procedure is commonly performed on people between the ages of 35 and 65. Candidates for this procedure should be healthy and not smoke, with no health problems that could slow down the recovery. Mini-facelifts require fewer incisions and lift the mid-face rather than the neck or the brow.
T-Z Plasticy
T-Zplasty neck lift is a new procedure that combines direct excisions of neck fat and skin with platysmaplasty. This tightens skin muscles. A central incision is made on the neck, and Dr. Boynton then removes the excess skin and tightens the underlying neck muscles. Restorative sutures are used to repair any damaged skin.
Liposuction
A neck lift procedure using liposuction to improve the appearance can improve your neck's appearance without having to undergo a facelift. The procedure is generally performed under local sedation and usually takes 30 minutes. For additional comfort, light intravenous sedation can be used. The procedure is painless. The sutures used for small access incisions will dissolve naturally. After the procedure, swelling and discoloration should gradually decrease. Patients can wear camouflage make-up, and they can return to normal activities in 3-4 days. Patients are encouraged to resume physical activity and exercise after this procedure.
