Advanced Neck Lift in Raleigh, NY | Rhett High, MD

Understanding Neck Lift Surgery

Neck lift surgery is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate and refine the neck's appearance. This surgical technique addresses multiple aesthetic concerns, including excess skin, muscle laxity, and accumulated fat deposits that contribute to an aged or undefined neck contour.

Procedure Overview

Neck lift procedures are typically performed under general anesthesia and involve strategic surgical approaches. The process may include:

• Incisions behind the ear and potentially into the posterior scalp hairline
• Careful removal of redundant fatty tissue
• Tightening of neck musculature
• Precise skin removal and re-draping

Surgical Techniques

Raleigh Plastic Surgery Center offers comprehensive neck lift solutions tailored to individual patient needs. While some patients may benefit from isolated neck rejuvenation, others might require combination approaches with additional facial procedures.

Candidate Considerations

Ideal neck lift candidates typically include younger patients or individuals with localized neck aging concerns. The procedure can effectively address issues like heavy neck appearance, skin laxity, and undefined jawline contours.

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery from a neck lift is generally comparable to a facelift, with some unique considerations. Patients can expect a drainage tube removal within two days and may experience a tight sensation around the neck. Compressive neck straps are often recommended during the initial two-week healing period.

Non-Surgical Alternatives

For patients seeking less invasive options, Raleigh Plastic Surgery Center offers complementary treatments such as Botox, Thermage, and IPL procedures that can provide subtle neck rejuvenation improvements.

Procedural Expertise

Performed in an AAAHC-approved surgical facility under the care of board-certified physicians, neck lift surgery combines advanced surgical techniques with personalized patient care. The goal is to achieve natural-looking results that restore a youthful, refined neck contour.
