CLEVELAND NECK LIFT PROCEDURES

These procedures are a common treatment at Cleveland Cosmetic Surgery. Thankfully, Dr. Diamantis can correct problems in the neck area with a variety of options.

Our treatment modalities range from KYBELLA®, liposculpture of unwanted submental fat or under-the-chin fat, a 3D neck procedure with muscle plication, and skin tightening.

A thorough evaluation is extremely important because often the problem is associated with a genetic correlation to a receded chin. Many patients choose to rejuvenate the face and neck at the same time.

“I couldn’t ask for anything more.” — Lenny

Necklines are a genetic trait that continue to get worse as you get older. During the consultation with Dr. Diamantis, several treatment options were discussed. Lenny opted for the combination of weekendLIFT™ & Neck Lift, and Blepharoplasty. Lenny now feels invigorated and energetic. Dr. Diamantis accentuated Lenny’s most beautiful features and she couldn’t be happier!

WHAT IS A NECK LIFT?

A neck liposculpture, or lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that improves visible signs of aging in the jawline and neck, such as:

  • Excess fat and skin relaxation in the lower face that creates jowls
  • Excess fatty deposits under the chin
  • Loose neck skin
  • Muscle banding in the neck, which created abnormal contours

The loss of youthful contours in the face and neck can be due to a variety of factors, including heredity, gravity, environmental conditions, and stress.

Some people feel they are not ready for a full facelift because their upper face is still pleasing. However, many patients will note excess wrinkling of the neck skin, a “turkey wattle” or double chin, and jowl lines. When the neck area doesn’t match the upper facial appearance, a neck procedure may be a good solution.

REJUVENATION PROCEDURES THAT CAN BE PERFORMED IN CONJUNCTION WITH A NECK LIFT ARE:

  • Brow lift, to correct a sagging or deeply furrowed brow
  • Fat transfer with liposculpture to add fullness to the lips and cheeks and reduce the appearance of wrinkles
  • Eyelid surgery, to rejuvenate aging eyes

WHAT NECK LIFT SURGERY WON’T DO:

As a restorative surgery, this procedure does not change your fundamental appearance and cannot stop the aging process.

This procedure can only be performed surgically. Nonsurgical rejuvenation treatments cannot achieve the same results, but may help delay the time at which a surgical procedure becomes appropriate, and also complement the results of cosmetic surgery.

THE EXPERIENCE

This procedure is performed in our AAAHC accredited facilities. A lower rhytidectomy, or neck lift, is an outpatient procedure that requires minimal recovery. This surgery can take as long as 1 to 2 hours to complete while under general anesthesia. After your surgery, we will provide a custom neck garment to help with healing and recovery by minimizing swelling and bruising. After a short rest, usually 12 hours, it’s recommended to avoid strenuous activities for about 2 weeks during general recovery.
