A neck lift, also known as a lower rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that is used to improve the appearance of the neck by tightening the skin and muscles in the area. This procedure is designed to address the signs of aging that can occur in the neck, such as sagging skin, wrinkles, and a double chin. If you are considering a neck lift, here's what you need to know:
During a neck lift, the surgeon will make incisions behind the ears and under the chin. Through these incisions, they will remove excess skin and fat and tighten the muscles in the neck. The procedure typically takes around two to three hours to complete and is usually performed under general anesthesia.
The ideal candidate for a neck lift is someone who is in good health with realistic expectations about the results of the procedure. You should also have loose skin and excess fat in the neck area that cannot be improved through other non-surgical methods, such as diet and exercise. It's important to note that a neck lift is not a weight-loss procedure, and it should not be used as a substitute for a healthy lifestyle.

Patients can expect general bruising, swelling, and soreness in the performed area. It is recommended that you plan on setting aside at least 2 weeks for proper recovery and healing. Once bruising subsides and you begin nearing complete recovery, you will be able to see full results.
A neck lift can help to improve the appearance of your neck by tightening loose skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, and eliminating a double chin.
