If you are looking for a long term solution for loose sagging neck skin or double-chin, consider neck lift surgery. Dr. George Varkarakis is highly renowned and experienced in performing neck lift procedures at his world class plastic surgery practice in Miami, Florida.
Although most people may not know, neck plays a vital role in one’s overall facial appearance. People with loose, sagging, hollow neck look older and exhausted. Treatment of facial aging may not help you achieve desired results without a neck lift. Neck lift surgery can be performed as a standalone or combination procedure to provide you with the youthful neck. It also ensures a defined face/jaw line.
A neck lift is a cosmetic medical procedure that enhances the appearance of the jawline, neck, and throat areas by tightening the neck muscles and removing excess skin and built-up fat deposits under the chin. Each neck lift procedure is customized to each individual patient in order to achieve the most natural-looking results. During a neck lift, Dr. Varkarakis will tighten the neck muscles and remove any excess skin and fat. The incisions made during a neck lift procedure are well hidden and typically result in discrete, imperceptible scars. Neck lifts are an effective treatment for both men and women looking to improve the appearance of their neck and jawline and/or reduce the appearance of a double chin. This surgical procedure is often combined with a facelift for a full facial rejuvenation that results in a younger-looking appearance.
Generally, neck lift procedures take anywhere between 1-3 hours to complete. The length of the procedure varies from patient to patient depending on desired outcome and the amount of work needed.
The results of a neck lift are pleasant. You can expect a toned, tighter, younger-look neck. The best thing about the procedure is that the results last for 10-15 years. Results may vary from patient to patient. This depends on maintenance of skin, lifestyle, and the natural aging process.
It is recommended that patients take at least 7-20 days off of work post neck lift procedure. It is common to experience some swelling and bruising in the area of treatment. It subsides in 10 days. Patients can resume light activity between 10 and 14 days after a procedure. However, strenuous activity must be avoided for a minimum of 3-4 weeks after the procedure.
It is common to experience certain kind of bruising, swelling, and mild discomfort. In some cases, patients may experience moderate discomfort.
It is advisable that patients should rest with your head slightly elevated especially during initial week. This helps prevent swelling. Also avoid exerting yourself during the week after surgery. Do not expose yourself to direct sun exposure. Contact Dr. Varkarakis now to schedule your neck lift consultation.
