Neck Lift Schaumburg, IL | Dr. Brad Ashpole, MD

Understanding Neck Lift Surgery in Chicagoland

A long, smooth neck represents beauty and youthfulness across many cultures. As individuals age, neck skin loses elasticity, and muscles separate, creating unsightly features like "turkey wattle" or prominent neck bands. Dr. Bradley Ashpole offers neck lift surgery (Platysmaplasty) to help Chicagoland residents restore a more refined neck contour.

Ideal Candidates for Neck Lift Procedure

Neck lift candidates typically include patients in their 40's to 60's who are in good health and experience:

• Excess skin or fat in the neck region
• Prominent vertical bands running from chin to neck base
• Desire for neck rejuvenation, potentially alongside a full facelift

Surgical Approach to Neck Rejuvenation

The neck lift procedure is performed under general anesthesia with multiple potential techniques:

• Liposuction for excess fat removal
• Muscle tightening through small chin incisions
• Excess skin excision with carefully concealed scarring

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can anticipate a short recovery period characterized by temporary bruising and swelling. A compression garment might be recommended to optimize final aesthetic results. The procedure aims to create a smoother, more youthful neck profile.

Procedure Benefits

A neck lift can effectively address signs of aging by improving neck contours, reducing muscle banding, and creating a more refined facial silhouette. Dr. Ashpole's expertise ensures natural-looking, sophisticated results tailored to each patient's unique anatomy.
