Neck Lift in Fort Worth, TX by Dr. Yadro Ducic

Understanding Neck Aging and Rejuvenation

As individuals age, changes in the neck area are common, including jowl development, jawline sagging, and neck skin laxity. A neck lift addresses these concerns by targeting specific aesthetic challenges associated with aging neck contours.

Neck Lift Procedure Details

A comprehensive neck lift involves multiple surgical techniques designed to restore a more youthful neck appearance. Key components of the procedure include:

• Platysmaplasty: Tightening central neck muscles
• Excess skin removal
• Strategic incision placement to minimize visible scarring

Patient Candidacy Evaluation

Neck lift candidacy depends on skin laxity rather than a specific age. Dr. Ducic carefully assesses individual characteristics to determine the most appropriate surgical approach for natural-looking results.

Surgical Procedure Overview

The neck lift is typically performed under general anesthesia, with incisions strategically placed to minimize visibility. The procedure involves separating and repositioning loose skin, tightening underlying muscles, and removing excess tissue.

Procedure Duration and Techniques

• Anesthesia: General anesthesia
• Procedure time: Up to three hours
• Incision locations: Hairline, around ears

Recovery and Expected Outcomes

Post-operative recovery involves gradual healing with initial swelling and discoloration subsiding within two weeks. Final results become apparent over six months, with most patients experiencing significant aesthetic improvements.

Recovery Highlights

• Suture removal: 5-10 days
• Initial swelling: Decreases within two weeks
• Final results: Visible up to six months post-surgery
