With the neck lift procedure, the fat and the sagging skin in the neck area are intervened. It is a preferred application for the elimination of aesthetic problems.
Problems in the neck area are usually caused by structural or genetic reasons. Anatomical surgery should be used to solve these problems. The skin on the neck has a very fine structure.
It is known that the adipose tissue layer under the skin rarely thickens under the chin. Apart from this, factors such as deep muscle structure, deep structure compartments, and skeletal structure in the neck region also determine the neck aesthetics.
Thanks to the neck lift it is possible to eliminate these problems and achieve an aesthetic appearance, and increase self-confidence.
The reasons for the need for a neck lift procedure include:
With the advancement of age, the soft tissues near the face begin to sag. These tissues accumulate under the chin. When the cheeks are raised, they can see the neck skin sagging with their own eyes. What people call jaw sagging is nothing but fat accumulation under the chin.
The situations listed above cause the person to look tired and old. Thanks to the neck lift, it is possible to get rid of this unwanted appearance.
Neck lift is usually performed when the aging in the neck area shows the person older than his normal age. The person who will have the neck lift procedure should have realistic expectations from this surgery.
The general health condition of these people should be suitable for the procedure. Also, smoking should be stopped. People who want to have a facelift and who also have sagging and wrinkle problems in the neck area may consider the neck lift procedure.
Neck lift can also be performed with a face lift. If the two are not performed together, the face will look younger, the neck area will look older, and a strange situation will emerge.
It is the most common to do a neck lift with a face lift surgery. It is a procedure performed simultaneously with face lift. For facelift, incisions are made in front of the ear and behind the ear.
From here, the neck area is reached. Sutures are made with a technique called corset. After the neck skin is stretched to the side, the excess is thrown behind the ear. It is preferred because it is the least scarring method.
When neck lift is performed with the under-chin technique, a 3-4 cm incision is made under the chin. It is possible to reduce the subcutaneous and submuscular fat tissue of the jaw through incision.
Platysma muscle is separated from the skin. It is possible to shape it with different sewing techniques. It is one of the most effective methods known for shaping the muscles and tissues under the skin.
After the procedure, it is necessary to wait for the neck skin to adapt. The under-chin technique for neck lift is suitable for young men and women. This technique is not preferred for patients in the advanced age group.
When a neck lift is performed under the chin, a prosthesis can be placed on the tip of the chin for a more aesthetic appearance, as the volume created by the fat tissue will decrease.
Neck lift is performed under general anesthesia and in a hospital environment with appropriate equipment. It is a process that takes approximately 1-2 hours. A drain is placed under the neck to prevent blood.
The drain stays for an average of 1 day. After the drain is removed, the patient can be discharged. If there is another procedure other than neck lift, then a bandage should be placed under the chin.
The bandage stays for an average of 1 week. After the procedure, it is completely normal for patients to have pain, numbness, swelling, and bruising in the neck area. These are the expected effects.
It takes an average of 7 to 10 days for the swelling to disappear. Bruising varies from person to person. If you have a sensitive body, there may be bruising for an average of 15 days. After the neck lift procedure, it takes about 6 months for the skin to settle completely.
The age of the patient is very important in neck lift procedure. If the age of the patient is young, a fat removal method may be preferred to get rid of neck fat.
Since the neck skin is much thinner than other tissues, it is a careful procedure. Women’s neck tissue is thinner compared to men’s neck tissue. For this reason, neck lift procedures can be performed more comfortably to men.
When neck lift surgery is planned well, the scars are very easily hidden. As age progresses, the body cannot resist gravity. It is normal to have wrinkles and sagging in some parts of the body.
Over time, sagging causes facial tissues to fall. This distorts the shape of the face. Tissue hanging down usually accumulates in the neck area.
To prepare for neck lift operation, you should consider:
The procedure technique for neck lift will be determined according to the patient’s condition. If excess weight causes sagging in the jaw area, fat removal can be performed. In this way, you will get rid of the fat that causes the jawline to sag.
This technique is recommended for people who are not old and slightly overweight. If the sagging is caused by both muscles and excessive structures, then it will be necessary to both take the fat and gather the muscles. Fats are removed by an incision under the chin and relaxed muscles are gathered in the midline.
If a chin incision is made for neck lift, if the chin remains small, it may be good to use a small prosthesis on the tip of the chin.
If both muscles, fats, and skin affect the sagging, then the method of removing the excess skin and lifting it should be applied. In this case, the process is removed as in face lift. The removed skin is stretched towards the edge of the ear.
The risks of a neck lift surgery can be controlled by a good doctor. In this case, risks will be unlikely to occur. Bleeding is one of the risks. It is a rare side effect.
If there is a bleeding problem during the procedure, emergency drainage treatment or blood transfusion can be performed. To avoid the risk of bleeding, it is necessary to stop using aspirin 10 days before the neck lift procedure.
Similar drugs should not be used. Medically uncontrolled hypertension can also cause bleeding. Bleeding under the skin may delay the healing process of the procedure. These risks do not occur if you choose us for a neck lift.
