NECK LIFT SEATTLE, WA | MEGHAN NADEAU, MD

UNDERSTANDING NECK AGING AND REJUVENATION

As individuals age, facial changes become increasingly noticeable,
including wrinkles, fine lines, and skin texture variations. While
facial aging is prominent, neck transformations can significantly
impact overall youthful appearance. Crepe-like skin, sagging tissues,
and vertical banding can detract from one's aesthetic profile, making
a neck lift an essential rejuvenation procedure.

NECK LIFT SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

A conventional neck lift involves a strategically placed incision from
ear to ear, carefully concealed within the hairline. During the
procedure, Dr. Nadeau meticulously removes excess fat, skin, and
tissue, repositioning neck skin to create a firmer, more refined
appearance. For patients with a pronounced double chin, liposuction
may be incorporated to enhance jawline definition.

BENEFITS OF NECK LIFT SURGERY

 	* Tighter, more youthful neck skin
	* Enhanced jawline and jowl definition
	* Correction of vertical neck banding
	* Removal of excess fat and skin
	* Improved self-confidence
	* Natural, long-lasting aesthetic results

IDEAL NECK LIFT CANDIDATES

Optimal candidates for neck lift surgery typically experience concerns
such as turkey neck, sagging skin, weakened muscle structure, or
undefined jawlines. Patients should be in good overall health, possess
adequate skin elasticity, be non-smokers, and maintain realistic
expectations about surgical outcomes.

NECK LIFT CANDIDACY CONSIDERATIONS

A neck lift may not be suitable for individuals with:

 	* Poor skin elasticity
	* Unrealistic surgical expectations
	* Inability to dedicate proper recovery time
	* Unwillingness to cease smoking before surgery

RECOVERY AND POSTOPERATIVE CARE

Following a neck lift, patients can anticipate temporary drainage
applications and protective bandaging. Expected postoperative symptoms
include swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which can be managed
with prescribed pain medications. Most patients resume normal
activities within 7-10 days of surgical intervention.

PERSONALIZED SURGICAL APPROACH

Dr. Nadeau specializes in creating nuanced, elegant surgical results
that subtly restore youthfulness while maintaining natural facial
harmony. Her comprehensive training and personalized approach ensure
each neck lift procedure is tailored to the individual patient's
anatomical characteristics and aesthetic goals.

PROCEDURE PRICING

Neck lift procedure costs vary depending on individual surgical
requirements. Factors such as combined procedures or additional
treatments can influence the overall price. Dr. Nadeau provides
detailed, personalized quotes during confidential consultations at her
Seattle practice.

NECK LIFT OVERVIEW

As individuals age, the neck can show distinctive signs of aging that
may not align with facial appearance. A neck lift, or lower
rhytidectomy, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to address
these specific aesthetic concerns.

WHAT IS A NECK LIFT?

A neck lift improves the appearance of an aging neck by removing
excess skin and fat, creating a firmer, more youthful contour.
Strategic incisions are carefully placed in the hairline or behind the
ears to minimize visible scarring.

NECK LIFT BENEFITS

 	* Smoother, more defined neck profile
	* Reduction of neck fat and "double chin"
	* Long-lasting, natural-looking results
	* Enhanced self-confidence

IDEAL CANDIDATES

Candidates for a neck lift typically experience:

 	* Loose, sagging neck skin
	* Diminished neck muscle definition
	* Stable body weight
	* Good overall health

RECOVERY PROCESS

After a neck lift, patients can expect temporary discomfort and
swelling. Pain medications will be prescribed to manage initial
recovery. Bandages and follow-up appointments will support optimal
healing.

RECOVERY EXPECTATIONS

 	* Initial recovery period: 1-2 weeks
	* Prescribed pain management
	* Protective bandaging
	* Gradual return to normal activities

PROCEDURE TECHNIQUES

Neck lift techniques are customized to individual patient needs,
focusing on removing excess skin, tightening underlying muscles, and
creating a refined neck contour.

UNDERSTANDING THE NECK LIFT PROCEDURE

The aging process in the neck typically begins during the fourth and
fifth decades of life. Patients often become aware of aesthetic
concerns such as the "turkey waddle" appearance, excess fat, or
visible muscle bands. The neck lift operation is specifically designed
to rejuvenate and sculpt the neck area by addressing its three primary
components: skin, muscle, and fat.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS OF NECK LIFT SURGERY

 	* Targets neck fat and muscle definition
	* Reshapes the jawline and neck contour
	* Ideal for patients in their 40s and 50s with good skin tone
	* Minimally invasive surgical technique

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE AND APPROACH

The neck lift procedure involves precise surgical techniques to remove
fat and tighten muscles. Fat both above and below the platysma muscle
is strategically removed through liposuction and surgical excision.
The platysma muscle is sewn together and tightened to create a refined
neck and jawline appearance.

PROCEDURE DETAILS

 	* Approximately two-hour surgical process
	* Small incisions: 1-inch under the chin, two 0.5-inch incisions
behind ears
	* No skin removal during the procedure
	* Performed under general anesthesia

CANDIDACY AND CONSIDERATIONS

Ideal neck lift candidates are in excellent physical health with good
skin elasticity. Patients must have realistic expectations and be
prepared to follow comprehensive pre and post-operative instructions.
The procedure is most effective for individuals with excess fat and
minimal skin laxity.

SURGICAL PREPARATION

 	* Comprehensive medical history review
	* Physical examination
	* Potential medical testing based on age and health
	* Smoking cessation recommended

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Recovery typically requires approximately two weeks for bruising and
swelling to subside. Patients can expect to resume normal activities
after this period, with full healing and final results visible within
two to three months. Post-operative care instructions are critical for
optimal healing and results.

POST-SURGICAL GUIDELINES

 	* Rest and limited activity for initial two weeks
	* Sleep with head elevated
	* Avoid strenuous exercise
	* Follow surgeon's specific instructions
