Deep Neck Lift

In DENVER

A deep neck lift, also known as a lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the neck and jawline. It specifically targets sagging skin, excess fat deposits, and muscle laxity in the lower face and neck area. This procedure can provide a more defined and youthful contour to the neck, creating a rejuvenated appearance.

What is Deep Neck Lift?

The deep neck lift procedure involves making incisions below the chin and/or behind the ears to access the underlying structures of the neck. Dr. Okland then tightens the muscles, removes excess fat if necessary, and trims or repositions the skin for a smoother and more refined neck contour. The procedure can be combined with other facial rejuvenation techniques, such as a facelift or neck liposuction, for more comprehensive results.

How does Deep Neck Lift work?

The deep neck lift works by addressing multiple components that contribute to an aged or sagging neck. The underlying muscles of the neck, known as the platysma muscles, are tightened and repositioned to create a more defined jawline and eliminate banding. Excess fat deposits are removed or repositioned to reduce fullness and restore a more youthful neck profile. Finally, any loose or sagging skin is carefully trimmed and redraped for a smoother and tighter appearance. The procedure aims to restore a more youthful and harmonious balance between the neck and the face, providing a natural and rejuvenated outcome.

What are the Benefits of Deep Neck Lift ?

Improved Neck Contour

The procedure effectively addresses sagging skin, excess fat deposits, and muscle laxity in the neck, resulting in a more defined and youthful contour.

Elimination of Neck Bands

The deep neck lift tightens and repositions the underlying platysma muscles, eliminating visible neck bands and creating a smoother and more toned appearance.

Reduction of Excess Fat

Excess fat deposits in the neck area can contribute to a "double chin" or a lack of definition. The deep neck lift removes or repositions this fat to restore a slimmer and more sculpted neck profile and jawline.

Tightened and Redraped Skin

Loose or sagging skin is carefully trimmed and redraped during the procedure, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, creases, and sagging. This results in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.

Enhanced Jawline Definition

By tightening the underlying muscles and addressing excess fat, the deep neck lift can enhance the definition of the jawline, creating a more aesthetically pleasing and balanced facial profile.

Long-lasting Results

The deep neck lift provides long-lasting results, allowing patients to enjoy the benefits of a rejuvenated neck appearance for years to come. While the natural aging process will continue, the improvements achieved through the procedure can be maintained with proper skincare and a healthy lifestyle.

Procedure Timeline

CONSULTATION:During the initial consultation, you will meet with the plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns, goals, and medical history. Dr. Okland will evaluate your neck area and determine if you are a suitable candidate for a deep neck lift.

PRE-OPERATIVE PREPARATION: Once you have decided to proceed with the deep neck lift, pre-operative preparations will be made. This may involve medical evaluations, laboratory tests, and instructions on medication, diet, and lifestyle modifications.

SURGERY: The deep neck lift procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. The surgery itself can take several hours, depending on the extent of the corrections needed. Incisions are made below the chin and/or behind the ears to access the underlying structures of the neck.

RECOVERY: After the surgery, you will be monitored in a recovery area for a few hours. It is common to experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort during the initial recovery phase. You may be prescribed pain medication and given specific post-operative instructions to follow.

POST-OPERATIVE APPOINTMENTS: Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your healing progress, remove any sutures or drains, and assess the results. Dr. Okland will provide guidance on wound care, activity restrictions, and skincare during this time.
