Neck Lift in Evans, GA | Southeastern Aesthetic Surgery, Troy Austin, MD

Understanding Neck Lift Surgery

A neck lift eliminates unsightly wrinkles and sagging skin in the neck, addressing jowls along the jawline while tightening the throat and chin area. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Troy Austin performs neck lift surgery for residents of Evans, Augusta, Columbia County, and surrounding Georgia regions.

What Does a Neck Lift Accomplish?

The neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy, comprehensively addresses multiple aging signs by:

• Tightening throat and chin muscles
• Removing fatty bulges along the jawline
• Eliminating jowls and double chin appearance
• Reducing sagging skin and vertical throat banding

Rejuvenating Your Appearance

The neck often reveals the most advanced signs of aging, even when facial features remain youthful. A neck lift can effectively restore a toned, firm jawline and create a more sculpted facial profile, effectively turning back the clock on visible aging.

The Neck Lift Procedure

This surgical procedure is less invasive than a traditional facelift but produces dramatic results. Dr. Austin performs the neck lift under general anesthesia, utilizing small incisions hidden in natural skin folds, typically beneath the chin.

Surgical Technique

During the procedure, Dr. Austin carefully:

• Gently pulls and tightens neck muscles
• Extracts pockets of fatty tissue
• Trims excess skin to create a smooth throat contour

Recovery and Results

Patients should plan for a recovery period that involves:

• Compressive bandages for several days
• Keeping the head elevated
• Limited neck movement for approximately two weeks
• Gradual return to normal activities after three to four weeks

Neck Lift Considerations

Key factors to understand about neck lift surgery include:

• Results typically last 10-15 years
• No specific ideal age - based on individual aging signs
• Can be performed independently or with a facelift
• Minimal, well-hidden scarring
