Rejuvenate Your Appearance

Excess skin of the neck can have a huge impact on our overall appearance and can make us look heavier or older than we actually are. A neck lift in Phoenix can correct sagging neck skin, rejuvenating and bringing balance to the entire face and neck area. 

Benefits of a neck lift

A neck lift will make you look like your best self by restoring a defined neck and jawline. Aging and weight fluctuations often result in the development of excess fat and loose, drooping skin beneath the chin, and a neck lift can achieve dramatic results. The procedure can:

  • Define the chin, neck and jawline
  • Remove excess fat from under the chin
  • Tighten sagging neck skin
  • Soften neck wrinkles
  • Sculpt the jowls
  • Achieve a more contoured and youthful neck

Who is a candidate for a neck lift?

Individuals seeking to address concerns such as the "turkey wattle" effect, crepey neck skin, or overall neck aging can be strong candidates for a neck lift in Phoenix. Those who wish to regain a more youthful and contoured neck appearance often find this procedure ideal.

Neck lift surgery details

A neck lift is performed under local anesthesia and light sedation or with IV sedation. The incisions are made both under the chin and behind the ear, and the exact position and length of the incisions will be determined by how much skin needs to be treated. Dr. Craft makes the incisions carefully, keeping in mind their visibility.

The skin will be separated from the muscle and underlying fat, and the fat is gently removed, which contours the neck and jawline. The underlying muscle is tightened, and the excess skin is raised and removed. The incisions are then closed with sutures.  

Recovery

After the neck lift, your head will be wrapped with bandages which you will need to wear for a few days. You will have some bruising, swelling, and mild discomfort.

Dr. Craft can prescribe or recommend medication to help with this. Most patients need about two weeks to recover from neck lift surgery. It’s important during this period to avoid bending your back and to keep your head elevated.

You will be given detailed instructions for home care to help your recovery go smoothly.

Results 

Final results from a neck lift will become apparent within four months, after swelling and bruising has completely faded. The scars should fade within a year, but will look better and better each day before that. Neck lift results last for many years.
