Neck Lift
Rejuvenation in Bellaire & River Oaks, TX
Smooth & Tighten
A neck lift is a surgical procedure that smooths and tightens the neck’s skin, which can sag from aging or weight loss. It provides a more defined jawline and eliminates the “bands” that often appear with age.
A neck lift can be performed alone or as a transformative part of a full facelift. Ideal candidates are in good physical and emotional health, seeking long-lasting results that can endure for up to 10 years.
The Components: There are two main parts to a neck lift: cervicoplasty, which removes excess skin, and platysmaplasty, which removes or tightens the underlying muscles.
The Neck Lift Procedure
Depending on your needs, Dr. Ajibade will perform one or both surgical components to achieve a refined, youthful contour.
Recovery & Care
Most neck lifts are performed on an outpatient basis and take 2 to 4 hours. Swelling and bruising are normal and can last up to 10 days.
Applying cold compresses and keeping the head elevated for the first 48 hours is essential. You should avoid turning or twisting your head for the first few days to protect the new contours.
