Sagging skin, excess fat, or the appearance of neck cords can be corrected with necklift surgery. The necklift can restore a clean and well defined neck and jaw line. The results can improve facial shape and balance, give the appearance of weight loss and a healthier and more youthful look. Dr. Messa will meet with each patient individually to evaluated and determine the best corrective procedure or type of neck lift. If the skin is lax or if there is extra skin, a skin tightening procedure with incisions behind the ears is usually best. If skin tone is adequate, excess fat can be removed with liposuction alone. Neck cords are due to laxity in the neck muscle (platysma). An anterior neck lift (platysmaplasty) can be performed with a small well concealed incision under the chin. The neck lift can be performed in conjunction with a, facelift or as a procedure on its own, and is commonly performed in our office. For your safety and comfort, a board certified anesthesiologist carefully monitors you during intravenous sedation. The Surgery During the neck lift, Dr. Messa will remove excess fat from below the chin or neck using a gentle liposuction procedure. Then, excess skin is carefully trimmed away. The remaining skin will be tightened, offering a more youthful look. Patients will return home with a neck support garment, an elastic dressing that allows the treated area to heal properly, and wear it for a week to maintain the neck’s new position. Post-operative bruising will take one to two weeks to resolve. We encourage all patients to learn as much about the Necklift and recovery before undergoing a procedure. We look forward to helping you learn more during a personalized consultation. Common procedures performed with Neck Lift include: Facelift, Eyelid Procedures, Chin Enhancement, Fat Transfers, and Brow Lift.
