Neck Lift

Did you know that your neck can age a lot faster than other parts of your body? You may develop sagging skin, bands or crease across your neck or you have excessive skin. Some people can blame genetics for the appearance of their neck. You could have a relatively unlined face and then below your chin is this old looking neck. A neck lift is a possibility to make your neck look younger and match the rest of you.

There are other reasons why people seek neck lifts. One great reason is weight loss. If you have lost a lot of weight, chances are that you now have excessive or sagging skin in your neck area. In order for your neck to match the new you, a neck lift is often suggested. In fact, when you lose weight, sometimes you also have excess skin or wrinkles on your face. Therefore, you may want to consider a neck lift and a lower face lift.

The cost of a neck lift is typically several thousand dollars and insurance won’t usually cover cosmetic procedures. A neck and face lift cost may be even more as it entails extra procedures. You will have to discuss the cost with your surgeon and come up with a payment plan if you cannot afford to have the face and neck lift done.

When it comes to the neck lift surgery itself, there are a few ways that it can be completed. First of all, your neck lift surgery can be completed with minimal scarring. In fact, most surgeons will place their incisions under the chin or behind the ears. Hiding neck lift scars are of utmost importance to both the patient and the doctor. A totally scar less neck lift may not be totally achievable but any scars will most likely not be seen in immediate view. After all, how many people are going to see anything behind the ears?

Recovery from neck and face lift surgery can take up to several weeks to really start feeling like your normal self. In order to be fully pleased with your neck lift results, you will want to follow the directions for after surgery care and do not participate in any type of strenuous activity afterwards. Some of the neck lift complications include swelling, bruising, numbness or a pulling sensation. Your neck lift recovery time will depend on you following your post-surgery directions.
