A neck lift performed by triple board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali Sajjadian will address sagging skin, excess fat, and tissue laxity – resolving concerns like a double chin and giving you a well-rested, youthful appearance. Combining a neck lift with complementary procedures can offer a more comprehensive rejuvenation, addressing multiple concerns in one surgical session.
Understanding Neck Lift Surgery
A neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy, decreases visible signs of aging in the jawline and neck, including jowls, weakened muscles, and neck banding that creates abnormal contours.
While this surgery can significantly improve your neck’s contour and appearance, many patients want to know how they can enhance their results with complementary procedures.
Facelift
Combining a facelift with a neck lift is a common approach to achieving a harmonious and balanced rejuvenation. A facelift addresses aging signs in the mid-to-lower face, such as:
- Deep creases around the nose and mouth
- Sagging skin in the cheeks
- Loss of muscle tone in the lower face
Pairing these procedures creates a seamless transition between your neck and face for tighter skin with fewer wrinkles. This combination provides a comprehensive rejuvenation with natural-looking and balanced outcomes.
Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, can be an excellent addition to a neck lift if you feel your eyes look permanently tired. This procedure addresses:
- Drooping upper eyelids
- Puffiness in the upper eyelids caused by fat deposits
- Prominent undereye bags
- Excess skin and fine wrinkles on your lower eyelids
Since your eyes are a focal point of your face, refreshing them can significantly enhance your appearance. Dr. Sajjadian can lift your upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on your specific needs. The result will be a brighter, more alert and youthful look that pairs beautifully with your neck lift.
Brow Lift
A brow lift, or forehead lift, addresses signs of aging in the upper third of your face. This procedure targets:
- Sagging or low position of the eyebrows
- Deep horizontal creases across the forehead
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
With age, your brow can descend, making your eyes look hooded. A brow lift restores a more youthful and approachable look by elevating your forehead and diminishing wrinkles. When combined with a neck lift, this procedure creates balance, avoiding the disjointed appearance that can sometimes result from targeting only one area.
Chin Augmentation
A well-defined chin and jawline are crucial for a youthful and balanced facial appearance. Chin augmentation, or genioplasty, can improve your neck lift results by providing a more sculpted and attractive facial profile. This procedure involves advanced techniques to complement your natural anatomy:
- Inserting an implant or reshaping the chin bone
- Creating a more defined and proportionate chin
- Enhancing the contour of the jawline and neck
Liposuction
Liposuction can be a valuable addition to a neck lift for patients with excess fat deposits in their face and neck. Dr. Sajjadian uses precise and minimally invasive techniques to perform liposuction, minimizing downtime and ensuring a faster recovery. This surgery can:
- Remove stubborn fat under the chin and along the jawline
- Create a more defined and contoured neck and face
- Enhance neck lift results by providing a smoother and more sculpted appearance
Non-Surgical Treatments
You can also combine non-surgical treatments with a neck lift to further enhance your results to address additional signs of aging for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
- Botox: Reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines in the forehead and around the eyes.
- Dermal fillers: Restore volume to the cheeks, lips, and undereye areas, providing a more youthful look.
- Laser skin resurfacing: Improves skin texture and tone by addressing sun damage, age spots, and fine lines.
