Neck Lift Washington, DC | Dr. Noëlle S. Sherber

Understanding Neck Aging and Surgical Solutions

An aging neck is a common aesthetic concern. As the lowest point on the face, sagging tissues become most prominent in the neck and jowl areas. A surgical neck lift represents the gold standard for restoring a lifted, tightened, and defined neck contour, particularly when non-invasive treatments demonstrate limited effectiveness.

Neck Anatomy and Aging Factors

Neck contour changes can be genetic or age-related. In younger patients, neck skin might remain tight, but underlying structures can appear bulky. Older patients typically experience skin and muscle laxity with tissue hypertrophy.

Comprehensive Neck Lift Approach

Dr. Rad addresses four critical factors during neck lift procedures:

• Loose skin management
• Excess fat removal above and below the platysma muscle
• Reduction of digastric muscle bulk
• Strengthening of the platysma muscular sling

Ideal Neck Lift Candidates

Candidates are generally healthy individuals of any age and body type. Realistic goals are essential: restoring crisp neck and jawlines to refresh one's appearance is reasonable, while seeking to look like someone else is not.

Surgical Techniques

Dr. Rad offers two primary neck lift approaches: a minimally invasive "scarless" technique for mild skin looseness and a comprehensive open approach for significant tissue laxity. Both methods aim to minimize tissue trauma and create natural, harmonious results.

Procedural Expertise

The neck lift is an artistic procedure requiring nuanced surgical judgment. Dr. Rad places multiple 'suspension' sutures to contour the neck, using absorbable materials that integrate with the body's natural healing process.
