Neck Lift Evans, GA | Dr. Achih H. Chen, MD, FACS, FAAFPRS

Understanding Neck Lift Surgery in Evans, Georgia

A defined jawline and smooth neckline represent key indicators of a youthful appearance. With aging, neck skin begins to sag and accumulate fat, often creating a characteristic "turkey waddle" effect. Dr. Achih H. Chen specializes in advanced neck lift techniques that restore elegant neck contours for patients in Evans, Augusta, and surrounding Georgia regions.

Comprehensive Neck Lift Approach

Neck lift surgery addresses multiple aspects of aging neck anatomy, including:

• Excess neck and chin area skin
• Accumulated fat deposits
• Muscle laxity in the platysma muscle
• Jawline definition

Surgical Technique

Dr. Chen performs neck lift surgery using precise, strategic incisions:

• Small incision hidden under the chin
• Discreet incisions behind the ears
• Targeted platysma muscle tightening
• Excess skin removal

Procedure Details

During neck lift surgery, Dr. Chen meticulously addresses the underlying muscular structure. The platysma muscle's front edges are brought together, eliminating visible muscle bands and creating a smoother neck profile. The back edge of the muscle is repositioned to enhance neck tightness and contour.

Recovery and Expectations

Neck lift procedures are performed under deep IV sedation, minimizing post-operative discomfort. Patients can typically resume light activities within days, with full public engagement recommended after four weeks. Individual recovery experiences may vary.

Combination Procedures

Dr. Chen often recommends combining neck lift surgery with complementary facial rejuvenation techniques, such as:

• Facelift
• Mid-face rejuvenation
• Eyelid surgery
• Laser skin resurfacing
