As time passes, your neck can exhibit signs of aging, even if your facial appearance remains youthful. Issues like excess fat, wrinkles, vertical bands, and the common 'turkey neck' sag can make you appear older. If you're grappling with any of the following conditions, a neck lift in Austin can help rejuvenate your appearance:
It's a cosmetic surgical procedure crafted to address signs of aging in the neck and jawline. Technically termed a lower rhytidectomy, this surgery targets sagging jowls, loose neck skin, irregular contours due to muscle banding in the neck, and surplus fat beneath the chin. The outcome? A rejuvenated, taut profile that can significantly diminish the visible effects of aging.
If your neck has lost its youthful profile, if it sags and droops, or if you have fatty deposits affecting your jawline and upper neck, it can impact your overall look and your confidence. While a facelift can create a more youthful facial look, many people will achieve the best results with a neck lift or a combination of a facelift & neck lift. To be a good candidate, you must meet the following requirements:
After your neck lift surgery, which may require several hours, you are free to return home. You will have full aftercare instructions and several medications you must take according to the schedule, which may include pain medication, steroids, antibiotics, and anti-nausea medicine.
Follow all aftercare instructions carefully so your healing goes quickly. You can expect bruising and swelling after your surgery, which fades, generally within about two weeks, with residual swelling requiring several months. You must sleep with your head elevated during your recovery to help reduce swelling.
At Face Austin, your surgery will be performed by a highly educated and experienced facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Antunes. We focus strictly on face and neck rejuvenation and reconstruction and have an unshakeable philosophy: “there are no shortcuts to quality.” Every neck lift procedure in Austin is performed with precision and the latest, most effective surgical techniques – for very natural results.
Not all plastic surgeons have dedicated the required added years of education and practice to achieve board-certification as a facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon and a specialization in otolaryngology, head and neck surgery. Dr. Antunes is one of the few surgeons in the Austin area who has devoted his entire professional life to becoming a specialist in facial plastic surgery – and his results are extraordinary.
Beyond his specialization in face and neck surgery, Face Austin was established to provide the highest level of personalized care, discretion, and an extraordinarily pleasant journey to a more youthful profile. The entire staff is professional, caring, and focused on a warm and caring experience.
If you are unhappy with the signs of facial aging, you may require more than one procedure. Every person is unique in the degree of facial aging, and a neck lift could be combined with other custom facial procedures, including:
Only a private consultation will reveal what procedures will create the look you envision for yourself. You can be confident that we will listen closely to what you hope to achieve, and do everything possible for you, and will focus on leaving you thrilled with your results! Fresh, natural, and rejuvenated. The first step is a private consultation to speak with you, evaluate your condition, and provide you with honest, open answers to all your questions and concerns.
Most patients require about 1-2 weeks to recover before they return to work.
The incisions are very small, made under the chin and behind the ears.
Once they are healed, the incisions will be very difficult to see. They are hidden in the natural lines and folds of your chin and ears.
Like any surgery, a neck lift has risks, including infection, reaction to anesthesia, bleeding, and blood clots. Complications may include tightness in the neck, change of sensation or numbness, and lumpiness.
Results after a neck lift may last up to ten years.
Stop taking any blood-thinning medications, and quit smoking about a month before your surgery.
This procedure is often combined with others, such as a facelift, brow lift, eyelid surgery, and others.
