NECKLIFT SURGERY

• It tightens skin and muscle that has become loose and hanging due to aging or hereditary family traits.
• It removes excess fat from the neck and the double chin.
• It is a perfect complement of face lift surgery (rhytidectomy) and, performed together with eye lift surgery (blepharoplasty) and brow lift surgery; it completely rejuvenates the face and neck.

Local anesthesia and complementary sedation, if it is the only procedure performed.
General anesthesia if it is performed together with other procedures.

Between 90 minutes and 2 hours.

The surgeon makes an incision that has two sections: the first one is vertical and extends behind each ear (retroauricular), and the second one is horizontal and extends about 2 inches (5 cm) along the hair-growth line on the back of the neck (mastoid). In some cases it may be necessary to make a small incision under the chin and/or a liposuction of the double chin to obtain better results. By means of these incisions, the surgeon separates the muscle and the skin from the neck, he tightens them and replaces them further up to achieve a more youthful look. He cuts the excess skin and muscle, then close with sutures.

The results of a neck lift surgery are very noticeable and last quite long. Most patients are very satisfied with the results. A neck lift will not, of course, make time stop, but it will make your neck look younger and fresher for a long time — possibly 10 years younger. Even after more than 10 years you will look much better than if you had never had this surgery.
