A well-done neck lift with Dr. Firouz can add beautiful definition to your neck and take years off your facial appearance.
During a neck lift, Dr. Firouz lifts and tightens your platysma muscle, trims away excess skin, and corrects heavy jowls that add years to your appearance. It is a safe and highly effective way to sculpt a youthful neck that frames your natural facial beauty.
Immediately after your neck lift, you will return home to recover. You should get plenty of rest and apply cold compresses for the first 48 hours. During the early days of your healing process, your features will be distorted from swelling and facial movements will be difficult. However, these effects will subside quickly.
Most of our patients can return to office work and light activities within two weeks of their neck lift. However, you should continue to avoid strenuous activity, steam baths, saunas, and alcohol for several more weeks.
Your neck lift should last five to ten years. Although you will always look younger than you would have without the neck lift, the aging process will continue. Therefore, you may want to repeat the procedure at a later date.
Neck lift scars are barely noticeable because they are well-hidden behind the ears and beneath the chin.
During your neck lift, Dr. Firouz will remove some fat deposits. However, this removal will not necessarily be extensive enough to completely correct your double chin. If that is the case, you may want to consider neck liposuction.
Dr. Firouz will help you select the most appropriate surgery during your initial consultation. A facelift includes components of a neck lift, so it is the ideal option if you want to address signs of aging on the face and neck. If you only want to contour the skin beneath your chin, a neck lift can meet your aesthetic goals and is a less intensive option.
The platysma muscle allows your lower face to move freely. It is a thin muscle that extends from your collarbone to just beneath your chin.
