A neck lift is a procedure that involves incisions behind or in front of the ears to reshape and tighten the neck. While it will smoothen the neck, the results won't be as dramatic as a facelift. Keep reading for more information. People who aren't prone to wrinkles should not undergo this procedure. However, this procedure is not effective for treating neck-wrinkle problems.
Lift your neck by isolating it
An isolated neck lift is a surgical procedure that reshapes the skin of the neck without removing the entire face. It reduces excess neck fat, and results in a more defined neck. The surgeon can adjust the platysma muscle's position and remove superficial fat. Depending on the type neck tissues, an isolated necklift may include the installation of a implant for the chin. This procedure involves an incision below the ear with the neck skin being tightened behind the ears. It usually takes twelve to fourteen days off work.
Mini-facelift
Mini-facelifts can be a common form of cosmetic surgery. They improve the appearance of the neck and do not require a full facelift. This type of procedure is commonly performed on people between the ages of 35 and 65. Good candidates for this procedure are healthy, non-smokers, and without health issues that could affect the recovery time. Mini-facelifts use shorter incisions, and the procedure lifts the mid-face instead of the neck or brow.
T-Z Plastomy
T-Zplasty necklift is a relatively novel procedure that combines direct removal of neck skin and excess fat with platysmaplasty. This tightens muscles underneath the skin. A central incision is made on the neck, and Dr. Boynton then removes the excess skin and tightens the underlying neck muscles. The remaining skin is redressed with careful suturing.
Liposuction
Neck lift surgery with liposuction is a non-invasive procedure that can improve the look of the neck. The procedure takes approximately 30 minutes. It is usually performed under local anesthesia. Additional comfort can be provided by intravenous light sedation. The procedure is generally painless, and the sutures used to close the small access incisions dissolve on their own. The swelling and discoloration will slowly decrease. In 3-4 days, patients can put on camouflage and resume normal activities. Patients are encouraged and encouraged to return to exercise and physical activity after the procedure.
