NECK LIFT SURGERY IN CARLSBAD, CA

REJUVENATE YOUR NECK WITH NECK LIFT SURGERY

The neck is often one of the first areas to show signs of aging.
Visible aging along the neck and jawline can make a person appear
older than they are. At Dr. Gehaan Dsouza's plastic surgery clinic in
Carlsbad, neck lift surgery can effectively reduce signs of aging
caused by time, sun exposure, heredity, and gravity. Through neck
contouring surgery, patients can achieve a naturally beautiful,
smooth, and youthful neckline that can make them look considerably
younger.

WHAT IS A NECK LIFT?

A neck lift is a surgical procedure that enhances the appearance of
the neck by tightening the skin and underlying muscles (platysma
bands) and smoothing out the contour of the jawline. As supportive
tissues deteriorate with age, the neck begins to sag. Many patients
have concerns with loose skin on their neck – often referred to as
"turkey neck" – as well as along the jawline. Neck lift surgery can
provide patients with a more youthful profile, creating a much
younger-looking appearance.

THE NECK LIFT PROCEDURE

Dr. Dsouza customizes each neck lift procedure based on the patient's
unique needs. The surgery typically involves the following steps:

	* Incisions are made under the chin and/or behind the ears
	* The platysma muscle is tightened and sutured together
	* Excess skin and fat are carefully trimmed away
	* Tissue and skin are repositioned and secured with sutures
	* Incisions are carefully closed
	* A light head dressing is applied after surgery

The procedure is performed under anesthesia and typically takes 4-6
hours. Small drains may be left in the neck for about a week after the
procedure.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

After neck lift surgery, patients can expect some bruising and
tightness in the neck area. Most patients can resume daily at-home
activities within 3-4 days, but bruising and swelling may take up to
two weeks to subside. Dr. Dsouza provides detailed aftercare
instructions and prescribes medication to minimize discomfort during
recovery.

The results of a neck lift can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years,
depending on factors such as skin quality and maintenance. Patients
can enjoy a smoother, more youthful neck contour and improved jawline
definition.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR NECK LIFT SURGERY

Good candidates for neck lift surgery typically have:

	* Lax skin in the midface and/or jawline
	* Fatty accumulation under the chin
	* Lack of definition in the jawline

Dr. Dsouza recommends scheduling a consultation to determine if neck
lift surgery is the best option for each individual patient.
