What is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift surgery involves the surgical removal of sagging skin and excess fat in the neck area, followed by tightening and reshaping the remaining skin. This procedure can be combined with tightening and repositioning the platysma muscles. A neck lift surgery can also be performed alongside a facelift surgery.

Types of Neck Lift Surgery

Neck lift surgery can be performed using different techniques. The most commonly used techniques are:

Sagging Skin Method

In this method, excess skin and fat tissue are removed through a horizontal incision under the chin. The incision is hidden below the hairline.

Platysma Muscle Tightening Method

In this method, the platysma muscles are loosened and repositioned to provide more tightness in the neck area.

Liposuction

Excess fat tissue in the neck area can also be removed using liposuction.

Benefits of Neck Lift Surgery

A neck lift surgery offers many benefits. Firstly, by eliminating sagging and wrinkles in the neck area, the neck gains a younger and tighter appearance. Additionally, a neck lift surgery can also address double chin issues. After the surgery, the person looks younger and more attractive, boosting their self-confidence and leading to a more positive appearance. Finally, the person generally feels better and experiences an improved quality of life. With these benefits, a neck lift surgery can provide positive aesthetic and psychological results.

Who is Not Suitable for Neck Lift Surgery?

A neck lift surgery may not be suitable for some individuals. These include pregnant or breastfeeding women, as surgical procedures are not recommended during these periods. Additionally, individuals with severe diabetes or heart disease may face higher risks of complications during surgery. Those taking blood-thinning medications may need to stop their medication before surgery, as these medications increase the risk of bleeding. Individuals with serious health issues such as malignant neck tumors require tumor treatment first. Furthermore, as significant lifestyle changes are necessary after a neck lift surgery, individuals who are not psychologically ready may not be suitable for this surgery. Finally, patients with unrealistic expectations about the outcome of the neck lift surgery are advised not to consider this procedure, as a perfect result cannot always be guaranteed.
