NECK LIFT IN ATLANTA

NECK LIFT SURGERY (NECK CONTOURING)

Many patients find that the neck region is the first area of the body to reveal the visible signs of aging, and often become discouraged at the sight of aesthetic problems such as:

Weakened neck muscles, which can detract from the aesthetic definition of the jawline
Loose or hanging skin in the neck region, leading to the unwanted development of the “turkey wattle”
Increasingly prominent vertical or horizontal bands along the neck
Fat deposits in the neck region creating the appearance of fatty jowls or a double chin

Fortunately, neck lift surgery was designed to effectively address and treat these problematic aesthetic issues, and works to rejuvenate the entire facial appearance by sculpting and enhancing the contours of the neck. To achieve optimal neck lift results, your surgery should be performed by a competent and experienced physician, such as Atlanta-based plastic surgeons Dr. Wright Jones and Dr. Sabine Lovell. Our compassionate and well-respected plastic surgeons will create a customized neck lift treatment plan to safely fulfill your surgical goals and to restore a more youthfully firm, lifted appearance to your neck region.

Neck lifts are also an excellent choice for patients suffering from the problem of skin laxity in the neck region, which typically presents as loose or hanging neck skin, and can create the dreaded “turkey wattle” appearance. Skin laxity is an aesthetic issue that frequently impacts individuals who have lost a significant amount of weight in a short period of time, whether through traditional diet and exercise, or bariatric (weight loss) surgery, and it is a problem that cannot be corrected by any means other than surgery.

NECK LIFT OPTIONS

The surgical methods employed during neck lift surgery will depend upon the patient’s primary surgical objectives, and may involve one or more of the following techniques:

Liposuction: utilized to remove excess fatty tissue
Platysmaplasty: performed to tighten the musculature of the neck and minimize the appearance of unflattering band lines
Cervicoplasty: used to remove loose or hanging skin in the neck region

During your initial consultation, Dr. Jones or Dr. Lovell will conduct a thorough assessment of your facial structure, taking into consideration your specific aesthetic goals, before selecting the appropriate technique(s) to utilize during your neck lift procedure. Some neck lift patients may also benefit from ancillary facial rejuvenation procedures, such as a cheek lift, chin augmentation or mini-facelift.

NECK LIFT PROCEDURE

Although the exact time frame for neck lift surgery will vary, depending upon the specific details of each patient’s procedure (and whether or not other procedures are being performed at the same time), neck lift surgery is typically performed on an outpatient basis, under IV sedation or general anesthesia.

Following neck lift surgery, patients will be left with minimal scarring, but can expect to experience some bruising or swelling around the jaw, ears, and neck, which typically subsides within a few days. Patients will be able to see a visible improvement in the appearance of the neck region immediately after surgery, and these initial results will continue to improve over the next few months.
