With age, your face can undergo many changes. This is also true of weight gain and weight loss, actually. Whatever the case may be, you can always visit with an Minneapolis plastic surgery specialist to learn about your options for facial rejuvenation and advanced aesthetics. Using the latest surgical techniques, a plastic surgeon can make you look younger and reduce any drooping, sagging, or loose skin. This goes for the forehead area, the mid-face area, the jowls, and even the neck/neckline. In the case of neck area, the surgery to undergo is the neck lift.
About Neck Lift Surgery
A neck lift surgery is performed in order to remove the loose skin and excess tissue around the neckline. Doing so will improve the overall tautness and contours of the neck. It’s a common part of comprehensive body contouring surgeries following major weight loss.
Best Candidates for Neck Lift Surgery
The best candidates for neck lift surgery are people in good general health who have excess skin in the neck area. These candidates have realistic expectations about what to expect from surgery and understand what the cosmetic surgery results will involve. They also do not suffer from any medical conditions that may make surgeries a major health risk of any kind.
Risks and Benefits of Neck Lift Surgery
The benefits of neck lift surgery include improved appearance of the neckline, enhanced appearance in general, and improved self-esteem. The risks of neck lift surgery are the same as those one may face in other surgeries, such as infection, poor response to anesthetic, and poor recovery experience/healing time.
The Neck Lift Surgery Procedure
During neck lift surgery, small incisions are made either under the chin or behind the ears. Through these incisions, excess skin and tissue is removed and the remaining skin is tightened. Some liposuction may be performed to improve overall neck and facial contour. The surgery is sometimes performed in combination with other facial surgeries, which can alter the surgical procedure at times.
Recovering from Neck Lift Surgery
Recovering from neck lift surgery is much like recovering from facelift. It’s important to get a lot of rest after the surgery and to avoid strenuous physical activity for a few weeks. You will revisit the practice roughly a week after your surgery for a follow-up appointment. We encourage you to contact us if you are ever concerned about your recovery.
Other Facial Plastic Surgery Options to Consider
In addition to neck lift surgery, other surgical treatments to enhance the face are available, including Minneapolis eyelid surgery, brow lift, chin augmentation, and more. During your visit to the practice, we can discuss all of these surgeries in more detail.
