You don’t need to be obese or overweight to have an accumulation of fat on the front parts of the neck, whether under the chin or around the neck. A surgeon can easily remove these fat deposits through neck lift surgery. If you have fat deposits but have loose muscle and skin, this surgery can still help you regain beautiful neck contours.
Through neck lift surgeries, the experienced Dr. Pedro M. Soler helps men and women achieve a more defined jawline, smoother skin and a more youthful appearance. Soler Cosmetic Plastic Surgery is situated just outside of downtown Tampa, and Dr. Soler proudly services Tampa, Clearwater, St. Petersburg and other cities in Southwest Florida.
What Is Neck Rejuvenation Surgery?
Neck rejuvenation surgery or double chin removal surgery targets the platysma muscle, which allows movement in the lower face. This muscle stretches from the lower face to the collarbones, and when it weakens, it can alter the neck’s appearance.
Procedure and Recovery Details
The purpose of neck lift surgery is to get a more youthful neck with regained contours. Dr. Soler performs a neck lift under general anesthesia at a surgical center.
- After you’ve received general anesthesia, Dr. Soler will make an incision near your ear and under your chin.
- Dr. Soler will then remove excess fat, tighten your platysma muscle, and, if necessary, also remove excess skin.
- Lastly, Dr. Soler will close the incision.
The patient leaves the hospital with their neck and chin wrapped in a dressing or with an elastic sling around the neck. Dr. Soler can prescribe oral medication to control any discomfort after the surgery. Bruising and swelling take about two weeks to disappear entirely, and the desired result of the surgery is visible after a month or two. Many patients who undergo neck lift surgery may also get other surgeries performed in conjunction with it, such as mid-facelift, rhinoplasty and eyelid surgery.
Reasons to Consider a Neck Lift
While several noninvasive treatment options are available to improve the neck’s appearance, many seek a more permanent solution. Surgery effectively lifts, tones and tightens the neck for long-lasting results.
You might consider this surgery if you have:
- Excess neck fat
- Loose neck skin (which can be due to weight loss)
- Excess neck wrinkles
