Neck Lift

Introduction

Introduction to Neck Lift

While many aesthetic treatments focus on the face, any rejuvenation plan that neglects the neck may bring disappointment for patients. Aging in the neck can profoundly affect overall appearance, drawing attention away from the eyes and smile. A strategically performed neck lift corrects prominent signs of aging, such as wrinkles and lines, vertical neck bands, submental fullness, and crepe-like skin.

Atlanta Oculofacial Plastic Surgery is located in Atlanta, Georgia, within Sandy Springs, and just a short distance from Buckhead, Chastain Park, Brookhaven, West Paces Ferry, Johns Creek, and Alpharetta.

What Is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift is performed to rejuvenate the neck, smoothing away lines, creases, and folds, and firming the underlying muscles to create a taut, streamlined profile. The surgery combats vertical bands, sagging skin, and stubborn submental fullness. It is often paired with liposuction to remove excess fat from beneath the chin and jawline. Additionally, a neck lift can correct the notorious “turkey wattle” that can make patients feel self-conscious and frustrated. Dr. Reddy focuses on precision, artistry, and painstaking attention to detail to create your ideal transformation in Atlanta, Georgia.

Who Are the Best Candidates for a Neck Lift?

Neck lift surgery is recommended for healthy, non-smoking patients who have realistic expectations for their results and are willing to follow Dr. Reddy‘s instructions and aftercare plan. The surgery is an excellent option for those who are frustrated by sagging skin, prominent neck bands, fullness beneath the chin, and thin, crepe-like skin. Dr. Reddy will conduct a thorough assessment and medical review to ensure that a neck lift is safe, effective, and rewarding for you.

What Are the Benefits of a Neck Lift?

A neck lift yields a wide range of powerful benefits, especially when performed by a double-board-certified oculofacial specialist like Dr. Reddy in Atlanta. Advantages include the following:

  • Tightens lax skin
  • Creates a more sculpted, youthful profile
  • Eradicates stubborn submental fat
  • Corrects the appearance of “turkey neck.”
  • Combats vertical neck banding
  • Erases lines, wrinkles, and creases
  • Heightens confidence and self-esteem
  • Can be paired with a facelift, brow lift, or eyelid surgery

What’s the First Step?

To begin your customized aesthetic journey in Atlanta, you will meet with Dr. Reddy for a private in-person or virtual consultation. This initial visit includes a comprehensive physical and medical assessment, a candid discussion of your goals for improvement, and a clear, transparent response to all your questions. The doctor will review the risks, benefits, recovery time, costs, and projected results associated with your neck lift.

Once your treatment date has been scheduled, we will provide you with preoperative instructions and ask that you complete several steps before your surgery. You may be asked to undergo additional lab testing and discontinue the use of supplements and medications that may increase your surgical risks. You should fill all prescriptions ahead of time and schedule a responsible adult to drive you home and assist you with basic chores after your neck lift.

What to Expect on the Day of Neck Lift Surgery

A neck lift is performed on an outpatient basis under twilight anesthesia or general anesthesia. This ensures your complete comfort and relaxation as Dr. Reddy rejuvenates your appearance. 

 

To begin, Dr. Reddy will create small incisions behind the ears, with an additional incision underneath the chin if needed. From there, she will firm the underlying neck muscles and remove excess tissue, skin, and fat. Liposuction can be used to further sculpt the jawline. The remaining skin is then elevated, and the incisions are closed with fine sutures.

Neck Lift Recovery

Some swelling, bruising, and soreness are to be expected after a neck lift. Dr. Reddy will provide prescriptions for oral pain medications to help alleviate discomfort as you heal. Any dressing applied to the neck will typically be removed within several days, while your sutures will be removed approximately seven days after the procedure. Most patients feel comfortable engaging in social situations within one to two weeks. However, you should continue to avoid strenuous exercise for 4 to 6 weeks or as instructed by Dr. Reddy.

How Much Does a Neck Lift Cost in Atlanta, GA?

The cost of a neck lift in Atlanta varies depending on the extent of skin laxity present, your unique goals, and whether the surgery is paired with other cosmetic procedures, such as a facelift, brow lift, or eyelid lift. Dr. Reddy will offer you a customized price quote after completing your physical and medical assessment.
