Neck lift surgery is equally important for white men who go to great lengths as it relates to preserving or improving the appearance of their facial skin,
Oftentimes men don’t think of their neck as a part of the body that ages, however, it is one of the primary areas that men age. Additional issues such a damage from the sun and/or rapid weight loss can also affect a man’s skin – especially in the neck area – creating an aged or sagging appearance. Male Plastic Surgery Los Angeles offers a number of excellent solutions to combat this, including neck lift surgery.
What Is A Neck Lift?
Loose skin in the neck area is treatable with a neck lift. A neck lift procedure tightens the muscle of the neck, this enhances the jowls and overall, reduces the fat below the chin. This in turn may restructure the muscle below which will result in a younger-looking face. The procedure itself is one of the safest and most reliable in plastic surgery and is less invasive than that of a facelift. Neck lifts surgery can be done with micro-incisions which limit scarring yielding a completely natural appearance that looks young and more youthful.
How Neck Lift Surgery Work?
A neck lift is a fairly simple, straightforward procedure which can be performed with either IV sedation or general anesthesia. Because a neck lift is minimally invasive, involving only small incisions around the neck, many men find it a more appealing option than the traditional facelift. For this procedure, your surgeon will make small incisions nearest your ear lobes, leaving little to no noticeable scarring. Your surgeon will then tighten the underlying neck muscles and remove excess fat through the carefully located incisions. Because each patient has unique facial features, the exact location of the incisions vary.

What Is The Recovery Time For A Neck Lift?
In the first following surgery, it is advised that the patient ensure they have a relative or friend spend the night due to the lack of mobility. In many cases, the patient will stay in bed for initial days after neck lift surgery, this is to aid in the recovery process. In some cases, pain medication can be given by your surgeon to alleviate any discomfort. It is important that patients wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that have buttons, as pulling clothing over the head could interfere with healing.
Post-surgery, patients can expect swelling, numbness and some bruising after your neck lift. Your surgeon will apply bandages post-op to aid in the recovery process and may utilize drainage tubes for the first day. Most patients can return to work two weeks after their neck lift, however, it’s advised to avoid strenuous activities such as heavy lifting or sports for a few weeks.
