A neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to improve visible signs of aging in the neck and jawline. During the surgery, Dr. Dunn tightens loose neck muscles, removes excess skin, and may incorporate liposuction to eliminate unwanted fat deposits. The result is a smoother, firmer, and more youthful neck contour that complements your overall facial appearance. Patients can choose from various techniques, including traditional neck lifts and limited-incision neck lifts, depending on the extent of correction needed and their aesthetic goals.
On the day of your neck lift surgery, you’ll be comfortably sedated under general anesthesia. Dr. Dunn begins by making carefully placed incisions, typically around the ears. In some cases, a second incision is created under the chin. He then tightens and repositions the neck muscles, removes or redistributes fat, and trims any excess skin. The incisions are carefully using expert techniques to minimize visible scarring. The neck lift procedure usually takes 2-3 hours. You will be able to return home the same day with a friend or family member to drive you.
