Neck Lift Poulsbo, WA | Jungkeit Michael C MD

Understanding Neck Lift Procedures

The neck frequently shows signs of aging or significant weight loss before other facial areas. Loose neck muscles can create visible bands or cause dramatic skin drooping. A neck lift surgical procedure smooths and tightens neck skin, delivering a more toned and youthful aesthetic.

Comprehensive Neck Lift Technique

The neck lift procedure involves two primary surgical components:

• Cervicoplasty: Removes excess neck skin
• Platysmaplasty: Modifies or removes neck muscles
• Optional liposuction for additional fat removal

Procedure Details

Typically lasting two to three hours, neck lift surgery can be performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. Most procedures are completed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home the same day.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can anticipate mild swelling and bruising following the procedure, which typically resolves within ten days. Most individuals resume normal work and daily activities within two weeks of surgery.

Potential Surgical Considerations

Like all surgical procedures, neck lifts carry inherent risks. Potential complications may include anesthesia-related issues, infection risks, and rare instances of facial nerve damage. Selecting a board-certified, experienced surgeon minimizes these potential complications.

Neck Lift Customization

A neck lift can be performed independently or in conjunction with a facelift. The nuanced approach ensures natural-looking results that often go unnoticed by friends and family.
