Neck Lift in Raleigh, NC

Neck  lift surgery is  usually done with sedation or general anesthesia . An incision is placed just in front or behind your ears and into the posterior hairline and another one might also be created beneath your chin. If pockets of fat exist, liposuction may be the first step in the surgical process or direct removal. Following that, any sagging, loose, or hanging skin will be carefully excised and the remaining skin will be pulled tight. This method of skin tightening is performed until the desired contour has been attained. Even though your incisions are sutured closed, scarring should be minimally noticeable since they are placed under your chin. An injection such as Kybella may also be used to enhance the results. Other additional nonsurgical options can help the skin's texture and surface, such as laser, peel, or IPL treatment, to create a glowing appearance.

After a neck lift, there will probably be some mild swelling and discoloration from bruising, but these will dissipate in a few days. You should rest and try to avoid exercise or strenuous movements and activities for a couple of weeks to assist in a safe recovery. Supportive bandages or a "chin strap" may be recommended and are often used at night for a few weeks.During this time, loose clothing should be worn. You should see visible aesthetic differences almost immediately. In fact, it has been noted that the neck lift surgery can make one of the most stunning enhancements to your profile, turning back the hands of time on your appearance.
