Problems with the appearance of your neck can creep up on you over time. Loose skin, accumulated fat, and muscular bands can make you self-conscious. A neck lift restores your slim, sculpted contours by tightening sagging skin and addressing your unique concerns.
What is a Neck Lift?
The most common reason to have a neck lift is sagging skin around the neck and jawline. Many people also take the opportunity to eliminate the appearance of a double chin. At the Lanfranchi Center, a neck lift is often combined with a lower facelift as the TLC Lift™. This procedure improves the appearance of your neck and lower face to help you look decades younger.Â
How is a Neck Lift Done?
Dr. Lanfranchi performs neck lifts under local anesthesia in the comfort of the Lanfranchi Center. You will receive oral medication to let you relax throughout the procedure (typically xanax). The details of a neck lift depend on your primary concerns and how they are addressed. In most cases, a neck lift uses one or a few small incisions. Dr. Lanfranchi will lift and tighten loose skin, repair separated neck muscles, and remove excess fat.Â
If you have concerns about the appearance of a double chin, your procedure may include neck liposuction. A cannula is used to remove fat and sculpt your neck, chin, and jawline. Neck liposuction alone may be a good option for those with good skin elasticity. It is also used as part of a neck lift.
What Does a Neck Lift Treat?
The full TLC Lift™, which combines a neck and lower facelift, can address a wide range of concerns. Individuals who choose this procedure can expect to see improvements in:
- A tighter, more sculpted neckline
- Improvement of neck wrinkles
- A more defined jawline and chin
- Elimination of a double chin
- No more “turkey neck” appearance
These effects can have a powerful effect on your confidence. Many people who think they will see their desired results with a neck lift alone find that a TLC Lift™ can provide them with better results and a more shapely lower face without adding recovery time.Â
What is Recovery Like After a Neck Lift?
Recovery time after a neck lift or TLC Lift™ varies depending on the details of your procedure. Most people feel some minor swelling and soreness for a few days. You can usually return to work after seven to fourteen days and more strenuous physical activities after a few weeks.Â
Combining a neck lift and lower facelift does not increase your recovery time. Many people have several procedures simultaneously to achieve an overall more youthful look. Dr. Lanfranchi will review all your options during your consultation to ensure you achieve the best possible results.
I had cosmetic surgery done on my eyes face and neck and Dr Lanfranchi did an amazing job. I did a lot of research and knew I was making the right decision using Dr Lanfranchi and couldn’t be happier. His staff is also amazing, James is great on keeping me up to date on everything and Ryan is so gentle and has a great personality. I would recommend them in a heartbeat. You can’t go wrong. If ever you want to talk about it I will give the permission to have you call me and I will send you pictures of before and after.
