What Is A Neck Lift?

If so, plastic surgeon Dr. Brandon-Dzung Mang offers neck lift surgery to help his Atlanta, GA patients eliminate the look of an aging neck.

Reviews
Can I Get a Neck Lift?
If you are contemplating neck lift surgery, it's likely you have visible sagging and hanging skin in your neck region. Neck skin that hangs is generally caused by things, like major weight loss and aging. No matter the reason, loose neck skin produces an older, unbecoming look, which can cause self-consciousness and embarrassment. Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery can help you address and minimize these areas with skin removal and tightening. If you are physically healthy and at a good weight, but you feel challenged by hanging skin and wrinkles along your neck, a cosmetic neck lift surgery may be a recommended answer.
How Does Neck Lift Surgery Work?
During your neck lift treatment, general anesthesia will be used. An incision will be placed behind or in front of your ears, and possibly another one underneath your chin. If isolated areas of fat exist, liposuction will be completed first, after which any loose skin will be removed and the underlying tissue and remaining skin pulled tight. Dr. Mang will continue this method of skin tightening until the desired look has been achieved. Although sutures are placed at the incision area, scars should not be noticeable since they reside under your chin. For greater results, Dr. Mang may suggest a complementary nonsurgical treatment.
What Can I Expect After My Neck lift Surgery?
After a neck lift treatment, you'll likely experience some mild swelling and discoloration, but these will dissipate after some healing time has passed. You should rest and try to avoid strenuous activities for about 2 – 3 weeks while you heal. While recovering, button tops and loose-fitting clothing are ideal. You should notice a stunning improvement to your profile almost immediately.
Neck Lift FAQ
How much does a neck lift cost?
Costs for your neck surgery will be reviewed in your consultation with Dr. Mang. As soon as he has developed your unique treatment plan, he can estimate prices for the facility, anesthesia, and other fees. To help make your neck surgery easy to afford, Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery accepts several payments methods, plus we can tell you more about how to get low-interest financing.
What about nonsurgical options?
Neck lift surgery is the best option to eliminate loose skin, particularly if it hangs or droops. Although there are several nonsurgical skin tightening procedures that can give you mild improvements, surgery can more dramatically redefine and smooth your neckline. A popular, new minimally invasive treatment called KYBELLA® targets fat in the submental area, which gives the appearance of a double chin, but it doesn't improve loose skin.
Will I have visible scars?
A neck lift does require one incision below the chin and two more near the ears. These are placed — so they are very difficult for others to see. Dr. Mang tries very hard during neck lift surgery to limit visible scarring. A team member will explain scar management instructions that will help your incisions to heal properly — so they are thin and flat.
Can I combine a neck lift with other facial surgeries?
During your initial consultation, you can mention that you are considering another surgery, like a facelift or a chin implant, along with a neck lift. It's normal for these additional procedures to be done together to achieve your best results. If you are concerned about an undefined jawline or weak chin, tell Dr. Mang so he can create a plan that meets all your goals.
Should I get a neck lift or liposuction?
Based on your concerns and goals, you may want to get a neck lift with liposuction. A lift plus lipo may help if you are concerned about both excess skin and pockets of fat in your neck. Dr. Mang will help you decide whether a lift, lipo, or a combination of both should be part of your treatment plan.
How do I prepare for a neck lift?
Dr. Mang can provide a set of detailed pre-operative instructions during a consultation to help you prepare for your neck lift. These may include discontinuing certain medications, quitting smoking, and avoiding blood-thinning supplements. It's important to follow these instructions carefully to ensure the best results and a smooth recovery.
