Neck Lift

in Pensacola, FL

What is a Neck Lift?

The neck is among the first places to show signs of aging, resulting in sagging skin and visible neck bands that make you seem older than you are. Stubborn fat can also be present under the chin, which can obscure the jawline, leading to an asymmetrical or disproportionate contour. A neck lift is a surgical procedure that can address these concerns, resulting in a smoother neck and more defined jawline for a younger appearance.

I could not have imagined a better experience or a more caring doctor. I had a facial rejuvenation (eyelid lift, minor nose job, & jawline/neck lift). The results are amazing! I feel fabulous every time I look in the mirror. Dr. Shaddix (and his staff) are the most caring medical professionals.”

Your Customized Neck Lift 

There are numerous techniques that can help you achieve your unique goals and correct the signs of aging that are most concerning to you. For patients with only stubborn fat under the chin, liposuction alone can provide effective results by removing fat cells and sculpting the chin and jawline.

When wrinkled and weakened skin is the main concern, this can be addressed through cosmetic surgery known as a neck lift. During this kind of procedure, well-hidden incisions behind the ears and under the chin allow the tissue to be tightened and excess skin removed, for a firmer, more youthful appearance. Neck lifts are often performed at the same time as a facelift or other procedures for optimal rejuvenation.

Dr. Shaddix will discuss your concerns and examine the treatment area to determine which technique or combination of techniques is best for you.

The Neck Lift Procedure 

A neck lift is almost always an outpatient procedure unless combined with multiple other procedures. Your specific neck lift procedure process will depend on the techniques being used.

Liposuction alone can be performed with very tiny incisions below the chin and behind the ears and may only require local anesthesia. If excess skin needs to be removed, well-hidden incisions will be placed behind the ears and general anesthesia will be required.

About Shaddix Plastic Surgery

Recovery after Neck Lift

Recovery depends on the extent of your neck lift and which techniques were used. Immediately after surgery, a compression dressing will be placed to ensure proper healing. You will be provided with a special garment to wear at night to help support your neck tissues as they heal.

Patients should plan for at least a week off work to recover and rest at home. You may begin light activity the day after your surgery, but you should wait a week to return to regular activities.

Strenuous activity should be avoided for a month after surgery as your neck continues to heal. Sutures will be removed about one week after surgery. Dr. Shaddix will provide you with detailed before-and-after surgery instructions and be available to answer your questions along the way.
