Neck Lift

About Neck Lift Surgery

Are you wearing turtlenecks and scarves to cover the loose flaps of skin on your neck? Would you like to improve your profile with increased definition along your jawline and neck? New Orleans, LA, plastic surgeon Dr. Jules Walters provides neck lift surgery to address the look of an aging neckline. This facial surgery reshapes and tightens the area on the underside of your chin and along the neck to remove the loose skin that creates a turkey neck or double chin. He also offers deep neck contouring that addresses the deeper structures, fat, and muscle of the neck. By surgically excising the loose skin and fat while using a tightening technique to result in a smoother, natural neckline, neck lift surgery with Dr. Jules Walters can dramatically improve your face’s lower section.

Surgical Technique

For neck surgery, local anesthesia, IV sedation, or general anesthesia is used. The incision point is placed just in front or behind your ears, while another one might also be created beneath your chin. If isolated areas of fat exist, neck liposuction would be the first step in the surgical process. Deep neck contouring sculpts the submandibular glands, deeper fat, and muscle not addressed with other techniques. Next, any sagging, loose, or hanging skin will be carefully excised, and the underlying tissue and remaining skin will be pulled tight. This skin tightening method is conducted until the desired contour has been achieved.

Even though sutures are placed at the incision area, scars should not be noticeable since they were placed beneath your chin. Combined liposuction can also be utilized. A nonsurgical fat reduction injection such as KYBELLA® may be incorporated to complement the results. Also, other nonsurgical choices can help the skin’s texture and surface, such as laser, peel, or IPL treatments, to produce a younger-looking and glowing appearance.

What To Expect

After a neck lift, there will be some mild swelling and discoloration from bruising, but these will dissipate after some healing time has passed. You should rest and avoid exercise or strenuous activity for a couple of weeks to assist in a safe recovery. While recovering, button tops or loose-fitting clothing is ideal.

You should notice visible aesthetic differences almost immediately. In addition, it has been noted that neck lift surgery can make one of the most stunning enhancements to an individual’s profile, turning back the hands of time on your appearance.
