Neck Lift

The neck is one of the most revealing parts of the body when it comes to age. As fatty deposits under the chin and horizontal wrinkles increase, we begin to feel and look older.

A neck lift improves the appearance of the neck by tightening the skin and underlying neck muscles, enhancing the contour of the jawline. This procedure is often combined with liposuction, facelift, or cheek lift, but it can also be performed as a stand-alone treatment.

When Should You Consider a Neck Lift?

- If you have sagging skin under the chin that makes you look older than your age

- If your jawline has lost its definition and you wish to restore its shape

- If you are experiencing increased skin laxity and wrinkles in the neck area

If you experience one or more of these issues, are in good general health, have realistic expectations, and feel ready with a positive mindset, you may be an excellent candidate for this procedure.

Chin Liposuction

One of the most common areas that reveal signs of aging is the chin and jawline. As the skin around the chin begins to sag, excess skin beneath the jawline may also start to droop. This can affect overall facial harmony and, in some cases, make a person appear upset or irritable even if it does not reflect their true personality.

Fortunately, chin liposuction offers a solution. Liposuction, commonly used to remove excess fat from the abdomen, thighs, arms, and hips, can also be safely applied to the chin area for the same purpose.

The biggest advantage of chin liposuction is that it can be performed as a minimally invasive outpatient procedure with minimal incisions and scarring. Patients typically recover quickly and achieve the refined, aesthetic neck appearance they desire.

When Should You Consider Chin Liposuction?

- If sagging under the chin is caused by fat accumulation

- If your chin makes you look older than you feel or gives others the wrong impression about your emotions

- If excess fat has created the appearance of a “double chin”

If you experience one or more of these issues, are in good general health, have realistic expectations, and approach the procedure with a positive attitude, you may be an ideal candidate for chin liposuction.

Addressing Neck Concerns with Advanced Techniques

Our experienced practitioners use a variety of techniques to effectively address neck concerns and achieve natural-looking results. These approaches may include a neck lift surgery, which focuses on tightening sagging skin and muscles, as well as liposuction to remove excess fat deposits.

Buccal Fat Removal

The buccal fat removal procedure is based on the principles of traditional liposuction and is performed under local anesthesia. Excess fat is removed from the targeted cheek area using a very thin tube called a cannula, inserted through a small incision inside the mouth. Since these incisions heal naturally on their own, stitches are not required.

Buccal fat removal is an excellent option for individuals who want to sculpt and rejuvenate their face. The most important criterion for candidates is having sufficiently elastic skin.

It is worth noting that buccal fat removal and neck lift are sometimes confused. The biggest difference between the two procedures is that buccal fat removal addresses fat-related concerns, whereas a neck lift focuses on loose or sagging skin.

Non-Surgical Enhancements

In addition, non-surgical treatments such as Botox injections or dermal fillers can be used to further enhance the aesthetic appearance of the neck area, offering subtle improvements without surgery.

Before Surgery

Before proceeding with neck aesthetic procedures, patients undergo a comprehensive consultation aimed at understanding their specific goals and addressing any concerns they may have.

During this consultation, our practitioners carefully examine the neck area in detail, assess skin elasticity, and take into account each patient’s individual characteristics.

Based on this thorough evaluation, a personalized treatment plan is developed to address the patient’s unique needs and goals, ensuring optimal results and high patient satisfaction.

Surgery

The treatments offered for neck aesthetics include a range of both surgical and non-surgical options, customized according to each patient’s goals and anatomical condition.

Surgical interventions, such as a neck lift, are typically performed under general anesthesia and aim to rejuvenate the appearance by tightening sagging skin and muscles.

On the other hand, non-surgical treatments such as Botox or dermal fillers can be performed in-office with minimal recovery time. These provide patients with a less invasive option to address concerns like neck bands or wrinkles.

After Surgery

Aftercare Following Neck Aesthetic Procedures

After neck aesthetic procedures, patients are provided with detailed aftercare instructions to facilitate healing and ensure optimal results. These instructions may include wearing compression garments to minimize swelling and support the treated area, as well as avoiding strenuous activities that could negatively affect the surgical site.

- It is essential to follow all instructions given by your surgeon for a healthy recovery.

- Unless medically necessary, there is no need to stay overnight in the hospital.

- You will have scheduled postoperative check-ups on the days determined by your doctor.

- You may return to your daily routine the same day.

- Mild swelling, redness, and discomfort may occur after the procedure. These can be managed with painkillers and usually last only two to three days.

- Temporary numbness in the chin and mouth area may occur during the first weeks. This is a side effect of liposuction and will resolve on its own.

- Smoking reduces circulation, delays wound healing, and significantly increases the risk of complications. Therefore, you should stop smoking at least four weeks before and four weeks after your procedure.
