What is a neck lift?

A neck lift surgery, also known as lower rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic procedure aimed at improving the appearance of the neck and jawline. It is typically recommended for individuals who are bothered by sagging skin, excess fat, or muscle laxity in the neck area. You may be a suitable candidate for a neck lift if you meet the following:

Sagging neck skin: Candidates usually have loose or sagging skin in the neck region, often resulting in the appearance of neck bands, jowls, or a “turkey wattle” effect.
Muscle laxity: The underlying neck muscles may have weakened or become loose, contributing to the sagging appearance.
Excess fat deposits: Candidates may have localized fat deposits or a double chin, causing a lack of definition in the neck and jawline.
Good overall health: It is essential for candidates to be in good general health, as they will undergo surgery and anesthesia. Any underlying medical conditions should be assessed and managed appropriately.
Non-smoker or willing to quit: Smoking can hinder the healing process and increase the risk of complications, so candidates are generally advised to quit smoking before undergoing neck lift surgery.
Realistic expectations: Candidates should have realistic expectations about the outcome of the surgery. A neck lift can provide significant improvements, but it is important to understand that it cannot halt the natural aging process or address other cosmetic concerns unrelated to the neck and jawline.

Before neck lift surgery

Consultation: The first step is to schedule a consultation with one of our expert plastic surgeons in Abu Dhabi. During this appointment, you will discuss your concerns, desired outcomes, and medical history. The surgeon will evaluate your neck and overall facial appearance to determine if you are a suitable candidate for a neck lift.
Medical evaluation: The surgeon may request a series of medical tests and evaluations to ensure you are in good health for the procedure. This may include blood tests, imaging studies, and an examination of your neck and facial structures.
Pre-operative instructions: Your surgeon will provide you with specific instructions to follow in the days leading up to the surgery. These instructions may include guidelines on medications to avoid, fasting requirements, and skincare routines.
Lifestyle adjustments: Your surgeon may advise you to make certain lifestyle adjustments before the surgery. This could involve quitting smoking, avoiding certain medications or supplements that could increase bleeding risks, and maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine.

During neck lift surgery

Anesthesia: Neck lift surgery can be performed using local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the procedure and your surgeon’s recommendation. The anesthesia will ensure that you are comfortable and pain-free during the surgery.
Incisions: The surgeon will make incisions in discreet locations, such as behind the ears and under the chin, to minimize visible scarring. The exact technique and incision pattern will depend on the specific procedures being performed, such as a cervicoplasty (removal of excess skin) or a platysmaplasty (tightening of neck muscles).
Tissue adjustment: The surgeon will reposition and tighten the underlying muscles of the neck, remove excess fat through liposuction if necessary, and trim and redrape the skin for a smoother appearance. The goal is to create a more youthful and defined neck contour.
Closing incisions: After the necessary adjustments are made, the surgeon will close the incisions using sutures or surgical staples. In some cases, small drainage tubes may be placed to prevent the accumulation of fluid.

After neck lift surgery

Recovery and monitoring: Following the surgery, you will be moved to a recovery area where our medical staff will monitor your vital signs and ensure you are awakening from anesthesia safely. You may experience some discomfort, swelling, and bruising, which is normal after the procedure.
Bandages and dressings: The surgeon may apply bandages or dressings to protect the incisions and support the newly contoured neck. You may also be provided with a compression garment to minimize swelling and assist with healing.
Post-operative instructions: Your surgeon will provide detailed instructions on how to care for the incisions, manage discomfort, and promote optimal healing. This may include information on medication usage, avoiding certain activities, and follow-up appointments.
Recovery timeline: The initial recovery period typically involves a few days of rest and limited physical activity. Swelling and bruising will gradually subside over several weeks. It may take several months for the final results to become apparent as the tissues heal and settle into their new position.
Follow-up appointments: You will have several follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor your progress, remove any sutures or drains, and address any concerns or questions you may have.

It’s important to note that the specific details of the procedure may vary depending on individual circumstances and the surgeon’s preferred techniques. Our qualified plastic surgeon will provide you with a detailed personalized plan and recommendations for your specific needs and cosmetic goals.

Result of neck lift surgery

The results of a neck lift surgery can vary from person to person, and the timeline for seeing the results and their longevity can depend on various factors. Here are some general guidelines:

Immediate post-surgery: After a neck lift, you may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort. These effects are temporary and should gradually subside over the first few weeks.
Initial results: You will begin to notice improvements in your neck’s appearance once the initial swelling goes down, usually within a few weeks. The neck will appear smoother, firmer, and more defined. However, it’s important to note that full recovery and final results may take several months.
Longevity: The longevity of neck lift results depends on several factors, including your age, genetics, lifestyle, and the specific techniques used during the surgery. While a neck lift cannot stop the aging process, it can effectively reverse the signs of aging and provide long-lasting improvements. On average, the results of a neck lift can last anywhere from five to ten years or longer.

To maintain the results of your neck lift surgery, it’s important to follow your surgeon’s post-operative care instructions, adopt a healthy lifestyle, and protect your skin from sun exposure. Additionally, periodic maintenance treatments or non-surgical interventions may be recommended to help prolong the effects of the neck lift as the natural aging process continues. It’s best to consult with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons for a personalized assessment and more accurate information based on your individual circumstances.
