Neck Lift | Hawaii Maui Hilo Kona Honolulu

Neck Lift: Definition

A neck lift is a surgical procedure whereby Dr. Schlesinger removes excess fat and loose skin from a patient's neck. A neck lift can improve the look of your neck, chin, and face. There are several reasons you might need to have a neck lift: recent weight loss leading to sagging skin and muscles, genetics which deposit extra fat in your neck, or aging, which unfortunately happens to all of us. Depending upon your particular needs, Dr. Schlesinger can make several recommendations. Your options will be discussed during your neck lift consultation.

Neck Lift: The Procedure

Depending on your physiology, you might require liposuction in addition to having the excess skin on your neck lifted. During the procedure, you will be sedated. If you select the liposuction option, the procedure will require Dr. Schlesingers to make small incisions for a tube to be inserted into your neck which will vacuum out excess fat.  The neck lift will then be performed, which involves  tightening and excision of excess skin of the neck. Neck lifts are almost always associated with either a concurrent or previous face lift. This procedure can take up to 4 hours, depending upon your needs.

Neck Lift: Is It Right for You?

A neck lift, for many, can turn back the clock 5 – 10 years, but it cannot stop the natural aging process. Dr. Schlesinger will discuss your expectations and anticipated post-surgical outcome from your neck lift at your consultation. Results from the surgery will be visible soon after the swelling subsides, and protective bandages are removed the day following surgery. Therafter, a typical result is a slimmer, more contoured neck that makes you look younger.
