It is no secret that our bodies change as we age and grow. Drastic weight loss, genetics, and aging can cause skin to become loose and sagging, leaving you looking tired and older than you are. At Body by Bloch, we offer a state-of-the-art neck lift using the best and latest anti-aging techniques to create the natural, shapely complexion you’ve been searching for.
Neck Lift At A Glance
A neck lift, also known as platysmaplasty, is a cosmetic surgery that eliminates excess skin and fat from the neck. The platysma muscle beneath the skin is tightened, and the skin is reattached to look tighter and more flattering. Neck lifts can also be paired with facelifts and other cosmetic procedures to create a more seamless, lifted complexion.
When undergoing a neck lift Highland Park patients can expect benefits, including:
Healthy adults genetically predisposed to excess or sagging skin around the neck, who have lost significant weight, or who have simply lost elasticity with age are the typical candidates for neck lifts.
You should not get a neck lift if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have diabetes, or smoke. If you are unsure of your eligibility for a neck lift, schedule your consultation with Dr. Bloch today.
Neck lifts address excess, sagging skin and fatty tissue around the neck and jawline. If this is an issue you struggle with, a neck lift in Highland Park may be the perfect solution for you.
Dr. Bloch will review your medical history, discuss your appearance expectations, and create a personalized treatment plan for your neck lift. Pictures of your neck and jawline may be taken, and temporary washable marker marks may be made as procedure references.
During your consultation, Dr. Boch will explain what to expect and how to prepare for your neck lift.
When you go in for your procedure, you will be put under general anesthesia so you won’t feel a thing. The doctor will begin the neck lift procedure, expertly removing the excess skin and fat before tightening the platysma muscle and reattaching the skin to sit tighter and more naturally.
The entire procedure can take one to four hours, depending on the client’s needs.
Immediately after surgery, you will notice significant improvement in the appearance of your neck and jawline. Some redness, swelling, and bruising may present that can last up to two weeks.
Patients typically see the full results of their platysmaplasty in six months, when all residual healing is complete and the skin has had time to settle into place.
In the first week after surgery, rest is essential. Swelling and bruising typically subside within two to four weeks, so limit activities and keep your head elevated. After four to six weeks, gradually reintroduce strenuous activities as you feel comfortable.
Your Highland Park neck lift results can be maintained by following a healthy lifestyle and avoiding drinking, smoking, direct sun exposure, and drastic weight changes.
If you have any questions about your recovery process, do not hesitate to call us at Body by Bloch. Our expert team is highly knowledgeable and more than willing to help you whenever they can.
Neck lifts can be paired with cosmetic procedures such as facelifts or blepharoplasty.
The results of a neck lift can last up to 15 years before signs of aging begin to take effect.
For the first two weeks after your procedure, you will be advised to take it easy and rest before slowly returning to more strenuous activity. As a general timeline, most people do not return to their normal routines until about four to six weeks after their neck lift.
During recovery, you may experience mild discomfort as you adjust to the changes in your neck, such as tightness of the skin or swelling around the incision sites.
Like any other surgery, a neck lift involves risks such as bleeding, scarring, or infection. Dr. Bloch will review a complete list of these risks with you during your consultation.
The cost of your neck lift depends on many individual factors that vary with each patient. At your consultation, we will provide a detailed breakdown of the price for your procedure.
