Neck Lift

As we age, the skin on our neck can lose its elasticity, leading to sagging skin, wrinkles, and excess fat. A neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy, can address these issues by removing excess skin, tightening underlying muscles, and improving the overall contour of the neck area. This procedure can not only enhance your physical appearance, but also boost confidence by restoring a more youthful and refined profile.

With meticulous attention to detail and a personalized approach, Dr. Tabbal strives to meet each patient’s unique aesthetic goals with precision and care. His dedication to excellence and record of patient satisfaction makes him a trusted choice for those seeking to rejuvenate their neck and jawline. 

What Is Neck Lift Surgery?

Neck lift surgery aims to enhance the appearance of a patient’s neck and jawline. This surgery is designed to address the look of a “turkey neck” and correct issues such as sagging skin, excess fat, and muscle banding in the neck area, often caused by aging or weight loss. A neck lift can ultimately produce a more defined neck contour and a more youthful appearance in this area. 

This treatment can be performed on its own or with other surgical procedures for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. A facelift can address common cosmetic concerns such as wrinkles and jowl formation, while eyelid surgery can correct drooping upper eyelids and reduce under-eye bags. Dr. Tabbal can talk with you about your options during the initial consultation and help determine the best treatment plan for your needs. 

What Are the Benefits of a Neck Lift?

A neck lift offers both aesthetic and emotional benefits, including:

• Improved Contour: Tightens sagging skin and reduces excess fat, typically resulting in a smoother, more defined neck and jawline. 
• Youthful Appearance: Helps to reverse signs of aging in the neck area, offering a younger-looking profile. 
• Reduced Wrinkles and Creases: Smooths out wrinkles and diminishes creases, enhancing skin texture. 
• Customizable Results: Can be tailored to individual needs and desired outcomes. 
• Boosted Confidence: Enhances self-esteem and body image as physical appearance is improved. 
• Complementary to Other Procedures: Often combined with other facial surgeries for a comprehensive revitalization. 

Who Is a Candidate for a Neck Lift?

Candidates for a neck lift typically include individuals who are in good general health and have realistic expectations about the outcomes. Ideal candidates experience sagging skin, excess fat, or muscle banding in the neck area that contributes to an aged appearance. Individuals considering this procedure should not smoke, as smoking can complicate both the surgery and the healing process, and should plan to maintain a stable weight following surgery, as significant fluctuations can affect the results.
