We offer safe and secure neck lifts using high-end technologies that preserve your skin’s natural look.

Treatment Options

Full Neck Lift

The full neck lift is ideal for people with visible signs of aging, such as unwanted fat, loose skin, wrinkles, and sagginess, around their neck and jaw area. The surgeon usually makes an incision from the patient’s front ear that goes vertically around the earlobe, continuing along the hairline in upward and backward movements.

The subcutaneous tissues are pulled and lifted to tighten the skin around your neck by flattening the neckbands. This procedure fully rejuvenates your neck with a dramatic transformation.

Mini Neck Lift

A mini neck lift or submental platysmaplasty is good for minimal or targeted issues on their necks. For instance, people with a little double chin, early signs of wrinkles or fine lines, and minimal skin sagginess or excess fat can benefit from the mini neck lift. Since it’s less invasive, the surgeon makes an incision under your chin to pull the platysma muscle and the underlying tissues up. This process doesn’t involve the removal of any skin layer.

Procedure Process
and Recovery

1

Assessment

The neck lift procedure at NexGen starts with assessing an individual’s expectations about their appearance. Since every person’s skin is different, their treatment must be customized. So, we sit down with our patients and evaluate their goals and skin condition to choose the right technique for the procedure. We also instill confidence in our patients. Aging is normal, and you shouldn’t feel embarrassed about it!
2

Incisions

The incisions in neck lifts are typically beneath the chin or around the ears, allowing the surgeon to access underlying tissues easily.
3

Liposuction and Skin Tightening

The doctor accesses the unwanted fat and sagging skin on the neck through these incisions. Then, they use liposuction to remove the excess fat and skin and tighten the muscles. After that, the doctor redrapes the skin to give a tighter, perfectly-contoured neck that doesn’t look too “overdone.” Neck liposuction is recommended for people with some elasticity left in their skin.
4

Post-Surgery Care

You will experience pain, bruising, and swelling around your neck and jawline for two weeks after surgery. The doctor will guide you thoroughly about post-surgery care for quick recovery. It will include decreased activity, rest, no heavy lifting, a balanced diet, and lots of fluid intake. You should also take your medicines regularly.
5

Recovery

Most NexGen neck lift patients observe no pain, swelling, or bruising after two weeks. Once these issues fade, you can see your new, tighter, and contoured neck. Complete recovery may take three weeks, depending on your post-surgery preventive measures.

FAQs

Does a neck lift look natural?

A neck lift looks natural when an experienced surgeon performs it. Dr. Yamini at NexGen aims to make you look younger through minimal scarring.

How painful is neck lift surgery?

Neck lift surgery isn’t painful, but you may feel tightness, bruising, and swelling around your neck. However, these signs go away with proper care and preventive measures.

How long can a neck lift last?

A neck lift can last between 10 and 15 years, depending on the nature of your skin sagging and age. Young skin has more collagen, so it can better preserve the results of a neck lift.

What are the risks of a neck lift?

Neck lift procedures generally have no risks, but they can still occur as with any other surgery. These include infection, bleeding, scarring, and nerve injuries. It’s recommended to always reach out to an experienced cosmetic surgeon for these procedures.
