Neck Lift

Your neck and jawline are the staples of elegance, youth, and beauty. The neck skin is often the first area to age, with the skin becoming saggy, creased, or crepey, often developing a double chin or “turkey neck.” A custom neck lift can restore definition to your jawline, correct saggy, wrinkled skin, remove a double chin, and significantly enhance your appearance.

Vertical neck bands? We can help

You may have generally firm neck skin but still be plagued by vertical neck bands, known as platysmal bands, that appear whenever you speak or make a facial expression.

A specialized surgical procedure called a platysmaplasty can be performed to smooth these bands and create a more youthful look to your neck structure.

This procedure involves a hidden incision beneath your chin or, in some cases, hidden around the ears. This approach may be the ideal way to restore your look and your confidence!

Neck lift techniques: What’s right for you?

You deserve a custom-tailored treatment with a specialized surgical plan that addresses your unique condition. A neck lift may involve several techniques:

Liposuction

You may require gentle, custom lipo to remove fatty deposits lodged beneath your chin or on your upper neck.

Cervicoplasty

If your aesthetic problem is related to sagging skin, with unsightly wrinkles, lines, and creases, a cervicoplasty removes excess skin through a small incision beneath your chin and behind your earlobe.

Platysmaplasty

Your neck structure is supported by a thin sheet of muscles called the “platysma,” appearing on both sides of the neck. The connection between the two muscle sheets can weaken, creating the dreaded “turkey neck.” Unsightly creases and lines appear, along with vertical neck bands and a double chin, which can all be corrected with this custom neck lift technique.

Advanced neck lift in Houston: Look years younger!

You may feel less confident due to an aging neck, ready to do something effective. The most important factor to consider is the skills, techniques, and reputation of your plastic surgeon. Dr. Chamata is deeply committed to his patients and customizes every neck lift. He practices his art with integrity and honesty, offering a free consultation to speak with you, evaluate your neck, and advise you of the ideal approach for you.

Neck lift recovery how long does it take?

You should plan for about one week to rest and recover, although healing rates vary from person to person. A neck lift is an outpatient procedure performed at our state-of-the-art onsite clinic. We are fully equipped with the most advanced patient health and safety protocols. Once you are released to the care of another adult, you will want to go home and just sleep for the rest of the day.

You must keep your head elevated on a wedge or extra pillows. Once the effect of anesthesia wears off, it is normal to feel some discomfort, which can be managed with prescription medication in the early days. Dr. Chamata will be carefully monitoring your recovery and will see you for a follow-up a few days after surgery.

You should feel well enough to return to work or other activities within about a week, but you should limit your activities and take it easy. You may have some mild lingering swelling or bruising. After about four to six weeks, your results should be visible, and Dr. Chamata will allow you to return to more vigorous physical activities such as sports or exercise.
