Neck Lift

Throughout life it is natural for our necks to lose their youthful appearance and positioning. The skin may be looser, there may be bands forming or you may have simply gained weight in the area that has affected your appearance. Thankfully all of these concerns are safely and easily treated with a Neck Lift. Often times a Neck Lift and facelift are performed together to provide the best outcome, however this is not always required. Our goal for Neck Lifts at Carolina Surgical Arts is to provide a natural, youthful and refreshed version of yourself. In your consultation we will discuss what bothers you, perform a thorough exam and provide different options that best address your concerns and needs.

Goals:

  • Recreate defined neckline that harmoniously meets your jaw line
  • Remove excess fat to provide a smooth contour
  • Remove banding caused by muscle separation
  • If necessary, remove excess skin of the neck with incisions hidden in the hairline

Recovery:

In general, a Neck Lift requires approximately 7-10 days of downtime. However, if combined with other procedures such as skin resurfacing, facelift, blepharoplasty or others, the time can vary. It is recommended to avoid exercising for 2-3 weeks after surgery to prevent avoidable complications such as bleeding, bruising, pain and problems healing. Some patients may require a compressive dressing and drain temporarily, but most are removed within a few days of surgery.
