Neck Lift in New Orleans, LA | Magnolia Plastic Surgery & Medspa - Dr. Heath Charvet

What is a Neck Lift?

Do you feel self-conscious about loose skin on your neck? A neck lift is a specialized facial surgery designed to eliminate the appearance of an aging neckline. Plastic surgeon Dr. Heath Charvet performs this transformative procedure to reshape and tighten the area under the chin and throughout the neck.

Neck Lift Procedure Benefits

• Removes excess skin and fat
• Eliminates "double chin" and "turkey neck"
• Produces a smoother, more defined neck profile
• Provides significant facial enhancement

How is a Neck Lift Performed?

During the neck lift procedure, general anesthesia is typically administered. Dr. Charvet makes strategic incisions around the ears and potentially under the chin. Liposuction may be used to remove isolated fat deposits, and sagging skin is trimmed and tightened to achieve the desired contour.

Surgical Technique

• Precise incision placement to minimize visible scarring
• Careful tissue manipulation for natural results
• Advanced skin tightening methods
• Potential combination with complementary procedures

Recovery and Expectations

After neck lift surgery, patients can expect some initial bruising and swelling. Rest is recommended, and strenuous activities should be avoided for several weeks. Most patients notice visible improvements almost immediately, with continued refinement as healing progresses.

Neck Lift vs. Alternative Treatments

While non-surgical treatments like chemical peels can improve skin texture, a neck lift remains the most effective solution for removing excess skin and dramatically reshaping the neck contour. Dr. Charvet can help determine the most appropriate approach during a personalized consultation.

Combination Procedures

Neck lift surgery can be effectively combined with other facial procedures such as facelifts, brow lifts, or chin augmentation. This comprehensive approach allows patients to achieve more comprehensive facial rejuvenation tailored to their specific aesthetic goals.

Candidacy and Consultation

The ideal neck lift candidate experiences skin laxity, excess fat, or an undefined neck profile. A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Charvet will help determine the most appropriate surgical strategy to address individual concerns and desired outcomes.
