Neck Lift in California

Neck surgery is an excellent option for correcting visible signs of aging in this area, as it enhances the firmness of the skin and muscles in the neck and lower face.

This procedure is ideal for patients seeking a more youthful facial contour, as well as those with sagging or loose skin on the neck, commonly known as a “turkey neck.” It also helps to reduce fat accumulation, which can contribute to the appearance of a double chin, or for those who have lost definition in the jawline due to aging or weight loss.

At Ideal Plastic Surgery, we recommend this surgery for men and women over the age of 40; however, it can also be performed on younger patients who experience premature sagging.

The results of a Neck Lift are visible within the first few weeks and continue to improve as the swelling subsides. This procedure achieves a more defined and youthful neck contour, as well as firmer, sag-free skin.

During the initial consultation, the surgeon analyzes the structure of the neck and determines the best surgical approach. In some cases, a Neck Lift is combined with other procedures such as Double Chin Liposuction or a Facelift to achieve more harmonious results.

This procedure is performed under general anesthesia and usually lasts between 1 and 3 hours. During the procedure, the surgeon treats the excess skin and fat under the chin, as well as the noticeable neck bands that appear when the neck muscles begin to separate.

The incisions are usually located behind the ears and, in some cases, under the chin. A special bandage is applied to reduce swelling and protect the operated area.

The cost of a Neck Lift can vary depending on the individual’s needs, but on average, it ranges from $12,000 to $16,500.

Recovery from neck surgery is a gradual process that requires careful attention to ensure optimal results. It is normal to experience discomfort, swelling, and bruising during the first few weeks after the procedure.

These usually disappear after a few days. It is recommended to use a compression bandage to aid in healing and limit strenuous movements, such as intense physical activity. Most patients can resume their normal activities within 10 to 14 days, although the swelling may take several weeks to subside completely.

Plastic surgery is a significant investment with great results, but you don’t have to see it as something unattainable. At Ideal Plastic Surgery, we have made various agreements to help you achieve your ideal version. We offer various financing options that make it easier for more people to access the treatments they want, providing flexibility in terms of payment plans and interest rates.
