Neck Lift
Weight loss, genetics, and age are often the causes of a less-than-ideal neckline. A neck lift from our plastic surgeon can address the common problem of loose, drooping skin that forms around the neck. Dr. Jason Leedy can restore tone and firmness to the area, providing a more aesthetically pleasing contour.
During a neck lift procedure, incisions are made behind the ears to allow Dr. Leedy to reposition the skin and reduce flaccidity. Dr. Leedy removes the excess skin, and tightens the remaining skin. He can also address bands around the neck by correcting weakened muscles. This aspect of neck lift is performed by making a small, nearly invisible incision under the chin. In cases of large neck areas with extra fat underneath the skin, Dr. Leedy may use liposuction to provide an even more defined contour.
Patients can typically resume light activities about two weeks after neck lift surgery.
A neck lift can often benefit patients who have undergone a face lift as well, serving as an excellent compliment to a fully rejuvenated face.
