Neck Lift

A neck lift is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat around the neck, to leave you with a tighter, more rejuvenated appearance.

The neck area is often forgotten about until it is too late. While all skincare routines focus on the face, the neck is often not included. The neck tends to age the same way as our skin, developing wrinkles and sagging as we age. We can also begin to develop unwanted fat in the neck area, which can be challenging to reduce on our own. A neck lift procedure can address all of these issues and help patients reverse the clock on aging.

How Is a Neck Lift Performed?

The first step of a neck lift will be anesthesia or sedation. This will ensure that you are comfortable during the surgery. Using a small incision behind the ears or beneath the chin, liposuction can be used to remove any excess fat. This can produce a more defined neck, which may be enough for some patients. For those looking for total rejuvenation, the tissue beneath the neck is then repositioned, and the muscles are tightened. The incisions are then closed, and the recovery process can begin.

Benefits from Neck Lift Surgery

While you may not realize it at first, the neck can significantly impact one’s appearance. Even if you’ve spent years using products or undergoing procedures on the face to help reduce common signs of aging, the neck can reveal one’s actual age almost immediately. A neck lift can help remove and reduce common signs of aging in the neck, such as sagging skin, wrinkles, and excess fat. A neck lift is also an ideal procedure to combine with others for a complete rejuvenation package.

Combining Neck Lift with Other Procedures

A neck lift can be combined with other surgical procedures to give you complete facial rejuvenation. Some of the most common procedures that are performed with a neck lift include a facelift and blepharoplasty.

One advantage of combining procedures is that you will only need one recovery period. By adding these procedures, Dr. Davis can completely transform patients, offering them a chance to reemerge after their procedures, looking far younger than before.

Your Neck Lift Recovery

After your neck lift procedure, you will need to recover at home. Most patients require one to two weeks off of work and will need to wait three to four weeks to resume all of their regular activities such as exercise. During your recovery, you will experience some swelling, bruising, and may also experience some discomfort. Dr. Davis will provide you with recovery instructions before your procedure. Our staff will also be available to answer any questions you may have during the recovery process. Dr. Kent Davis performs neck lift surgery in Houston.
