A Targeted Approach

A neck lift is a surgical procedure that carefully removes excess skin, tightens underlying muscles, and can remove or reposition fat deposits, salivary glands, smooth away jowls, and reduce the appearance of banding at the neck. Every patient is unique, so each surgery is different and seeks to target that patient’s points of interest or concern.

What Should I Expect in a Neck Lift?

Everything starts with a personal consultation. During this initial meeting, the doctor will carefully assess your neck and facial structure and explain the procedure in detail. On the day of your surgery, the neck lift will be performed in the operating room general. The procedure typically takes 3 to 4 hours. Following surgery, you can expect to see an immediate improvement in the contour of your neck, with full results becoming more apparent as swelling subsides in the following weeks.

What Can a Neck Lift Treat?

  • Enhances Chin and Neck Definition: Sharpens the angle between the chin and neck, enhancing overall facial balance.
  • Restores Youthful Contours: Revitalizes the neck area, creating a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
  • Tightens Loose Skin: Removes excess skin to create a smoother, firmer neck contour.
  • Reduces Wrinkles: Minimizes the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the neck.
  • Smooths Away Jowls: Lifts and redefines the jawline, reducing the appearance of jowls.
  • Improves Neck Banding: Smooths vertical bands and tightens underlying muscles for a more refined, smooth look.

What is the Recovery Time?

Recovery from a neck lift is generally smooth, but it is vital that you follow Dr. Cohen’s post-operative care instructions for the best results. In the first few days, you may experience swelling, discoloration, and tightness in the neck area. Plan to be off from work or other activities and enjoy resting at home during this time. Most patients can return to light activities within a week, and many feel comfortable returning to work or other tasks after 14 days. It’s important to avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for at least 4 to 6 weeks to allow your body to heal as it should.

Will there be visible scars?

Dr. Cohen takes great care to minimize scarring by placing incisions in discreet locations, such as behind the ears and under the chin. Over time, these scars will fade and become less noticeable.

How long do the results of a neck lift last?

The results of a neck lift can last 10 to 15 years, depending on factors like your skin type, lifestyle, and how well you care for your skin post-surgery. While a neck lift can’t stop the aging process, it can significantly turn back the clock.

Can a neck lift be combined with other procedures?

Yes, many patients choose to combine a neck lift with other facial procedures like a facelift, brow lift, or eyelid surgery for more comprehensive rejuvenation. Dr. Cohen will discuss your options during your consultation.

How soon can I return to work?

Most patients feel comfortable returning to work and light activities within 10 to 14 days after surgery. However, it’s important to follow Dr. Cohen’s specific recovery guidelines as they will be tailored to assist you depending on your unique needs.
