Advanced Neck Lift in Baton Rouge, LA | Hanemann Plastic Surgery

Understanding Neck Lift Procedures

Visible signs of aging often manifest prominently in the chin and jawline areas. A neck lift procedure at Hanemann Plastic Surgery adds contour and definition to these regions, creating a more visually appealing profile for patients in the Baton Rouge area.

What is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift, also known as lower rhytidectomy, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to address multiple signs of aging in the neck region. This targeted treatment helps patients who do not require a full facelift but want to improve specific neck-related aesthetic concerns.

Typical Neck Aging Concerns Addressed

• Excess fat and skin creating a jowled appearance in the lower jaw
• Fat deposits underneath the chin
• Sagging or loose neck skin resembling a "turkey wattle"
• Visible muscle banding in the neck area

Neck Lift Surgical Technique

During a traditional neck lift procedure, Hanemann Plastic Surgery employs a precise surgical approach. An incision is carefully made in the sideburn hairline, continuing around the ear and ending in the hair at the back of the head. The surgeon then redistributes and sculpts fat while repositioning underlying tissues to create enhanced definition and smoother contours.

Candidate Evaluation

Ideal neck lift candidates typically experience excess skin or fat deposits in the jawline and neck regions. During a comprehensive consultation, Dr. Hanemann evaluates individual factors such as general health, medical history, and specific cosmetic goals to determine procedural suitability.

Recovery and Expectations

Post-surgical recovery involves careful management of swelling and healing. Patients may receive bandages around the neck and potentially a small surgical drain. Specific post-operative instructions include sleeping with an elevated head and avoiding excessive neck movements during the initial healing phase.
