The neck lift procedure, also known as cervical lift, is designed for both women and men who want to improve the appearance of their neck, making it look more youthful and refreshed. Ideal candidates include individuals who have lost a significant amount of weight and are experiencing skin laxity in the area, those with excess fat around the neck, as well as people facing sagging due to the natural aging process.
The procedure is performed endoscopically through small incisions in the neck area. In cases of significant sagging, the incision may begin behind the ears and extend down the neck, while if there is an accumulation of fat beneath the chin, an incision may be needed along the lower jawline. The surgery lasts about two to three hours and can be done either under general anesthesia or with local anesthesia combined with sedation. The incisions are closed with internal sutures, leaving minimal scarring that gradually becomes almost invisible over time.
The recovery is quick, with the ability to return to daily activities as soon as the following day. It is recommended to wear a neck bandage for three to five days to reduce swelling, while the sutures dissolve naturally and do not require removal.
This procedure, when performed by a skilled plastic surgeon, delivers natural results with a fast recovery and minimal risk of complications. The neck lift is an ideal choice for restoring the firmness of the neck, providing a refreshed and youthful appearance.
