Neck lift

Appearance and condition of the neck play a significant role in overall appearance and perception of external attractiveness. Unfortunately, these changes affect virtually all women and men. They most commonly appear before the age of forty, but since they are usually dependent on genes inherited from parents, they can sometimes appear in early youth, and of course, in some lucky individuals, much, much later. If you feel that your eyes are aging you, or you look tired and unwell, cosmetic eyelid surgery can probably help you a lot. Neck lift surgery is a procedure that can significantly improve the appearance of the neck and lower face, eliminating signs of aging skin. Before making a decision about the procedure, it is always worth consulting with an experienced plastic surgeon who will explain all aspects of the procedure and tailor it to the individual needs and expectations of the patient.

Neck Lift - What is it?

Neck lift, also known as neck rejuvenation, is a surgical cosmetic procedure aimed at improving the appearance and firmness of the skin in the neck and lower face area. The goal is to eliminate excess skin, reduce wrinkles, and improve overall skin elasticity in this area.

Candidates for Neck Lift Surgery

This procedure is primarily intended for individuals experiencing signs of aging skin on the neck, such as sagging skin, presence of folds, or loss of elasticity. Candidates for neck lift surgery should be in good health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations regarding the results.

Procedure of Neck Lift Surgery

Before undergoing the procedure, the patient undergoes a consultation with a plastic surgeon. During the conversation, the patient's expectations, the course of the procedure, and all relevant information regarding preparation and recovery are discussed. Tests: morphology, blood coagulation system, blood type, and good general health.

Neck lift surgery usually requires the use of general or local anesthesia depending on the extent of the procedure. The surgeon makes precise incisions, usually placing them behind the earlobes and/or under the chin. This allows for the concealment of scars in natural creases. The surgeon removes excess skin and fat tissue, then tightens the remaining skin, restoring its youthful appearance. During the procedure, the surgeon may also improve the area under the chin, eliminating skin folds and reducing the visibility of wrinkles.

After the procedure, the incisions are closed with delicate stitches, and the neck area may be covered with a dressing.

After neck lift surgery, the patient should follow the plastic surgeon's recommendations regarding recovery. The time to return to normal activities depends on the extent of the procedure, but usually patients can resume daily activities after a few weeks.

Although neck lift surgery is a safe procedure, like any surgical procedure, it carries some risk of complications, such as infections, swelling, or scarring. However, when performed by an experienced plastic surgeon, it can deliver impressive results, improving the overall appearance and well-being of the patient. Contraindications to the procedure include vascular disorders, coagulation disorders, uncontrolled hypertension, diabetes, and purulent infection of this area.

It is the skin of the eyelids, the position of the eyebrows, and their mutual relationship that causes us to look rested in our youth and more tired and aged over the years. Changes in the appearance of the eyelids are most often associated with the stretching of the skin of the upper eyelids and the appearance of the so-called "bags" under the eyes. The procedure aims to remove excess skin of the upper and lower eyelids and the so-called "bags" under the eyes, as well as any wrinkles around the eyes.
