Balance beyond aesthetics
A neck lift – lower rhytidectomy – is a surgical intervention that aims to remove the excess fat and skin relaxation in the lower face that creates jowls and tightens the muscles, improving the appearance of the neck region.
This restorative surgery can be performed together with a facelift and requires hospitalization, because it is performed under general anesthesia. The surgical approach is different depending on the improvements that are desired and necessary. If it is desired to remove the excess skin from the mandible and redefine the mandibular angle, an incision is made in front of the ear, then it goes down below its lobe to the back of the ear. If there is an excess of fat under the chin, and the elasticity of the skin is good, liposuction of the fat is required, without other interventions. If the longitudinal bands are present on the neck due to laxity of the platysma muscle, we remove the excess fat and skin and fold the muscle, making a small incision just below the chin.
After surgery, there will be feelings of numbness, tension or burning, also swelling and bruising, which are normal for the first few days, maybe weeks after the surgery and will gradually disappear.
Moreover, physical activities that require a greater effort should be avoided during the first 3–4 weeks, and pain medication is recommended for postoperative discomfort.
You will discuss with the doctor:
During the consultation the doctor:
During the consultation, it is best to ask all the necessary questions for a better understanding of this intervention. It is very important that you understand all aspects of this operation.
For the patient’s comfort during the intervention, we will administer anesthesia. This surgery is performed under general anesthesia.
Depending on the degree of change you want to see, your neck lift options include a traditional neck lift incision or a limited incision.
A traditional neck lift incision often starts in the hairline, continues down around the ear, and ends at the bottom of the scalp. Fat can be sculpted, removed and/or redistributed. The underlying tissue of the neck skin is repositioned and usually the platysma muscle is tightened. The skin is then repositioned over the raised contours and excess skin is excised.
A limited neck incision may involve incisions only around the ear. While the incisions are shorter, the results may be more limited.
The incisions will be closed with sutures or may need to be removed after a few days. Once healed, the incision lines from a neck lift are well hidden within the hairline and natural contours of the face and ear.
Visible improvements from a neck lift occur once the swelling and bruising subsides. After a neck lift, the final result is a younger look. You will also look more rested and it will help you feel more confident.
*Results may vary depending on the personal characteristics of the patients. We address people over the age of 18.
