NECK LIFT WITH DR JOHANNES
ACHIEVE A SLEEK, YOUTHFUL NECK
​
If you are concerned about the loss of youthful contours in your face and neck, or you notice excess wrinkling of the neck skin, a “turkey wattle” or double chin, and jowl lines and you are not yet ready for a full facelift, a neck lift may be right for you. The loss of youthful contours in the face and neck can be due to a variety of factors, including heredity, gravity, environmental conditions and stress.
THE PROCEDURE
​
During the surgery, Dr. Johannes skilfully sculpts the neck and jawline by excising excess skin and fat, providing a refined appearance tailored to each patient's aesthetic goals. Depending on the degree of change you’d like to see, your neck lift choices include a traditional neck lift incision or a limited incision neck lift. A Deep Plane Neck Lift is also performed by Dr Johannes. A traditional neck lift incision often begins in the hairline at the level of the sideburn, continues down and around the ear and ends in the posterior hair.
Fat may be sculpted or redistributed from the jowls and neck. The tissue underlying the neck skin is repositioned, and commonly the platysma muscle is tightened. Skin is redraped over the uplifted contours and excess skin is trimmed away. A separate incision under the chin is often necessary for liposuction of this area and for repair of the muscle. Sutures or skin adhesives close the incisions.
A limited incision neck lift may involve incisions only around the ear. While the incisions are shorter, the results may be more limited. Incision lines are closed with sutures and perhaps skin glue. Sutures may be dissolving, or may need to be removed after a few days.
BENEFITS OF THE PROCEDURE
​​You might consider neck lift surgery if you're dissatisfied with the signs of ageing in your neck and jawline, particularly if you're also thinking about undergoing other facial procedures like a facelift. As we grow older, the delicate skin and muscles of the neck can begin to sag and wrinkle, creating an aged appearance that may not match the look of the upper face. This loss of youthful contours in the neck area can be caused by a variety of factors A neck lift, is a surgical procedure that improves visible signs of ageing in the jawline and neck, such as:
• Excess fat and skin relaxation in the lower face that creates jowls
• Excess fatty deposits under the chin
• Loose neck skin
• Muscle banding in the neck, which created abnormal contours.
Ideal candidates for a neck lift are healthy adult men and women who do not smoke and have realistic expectations regarding the outcomes of plastic surgery.
During your consultation, Dr. Johannes will evaluate your specific situation to determine your candidacy and may recommend additional procedures to help you achieve your aesthetic goals. Factors that influence candidacy include age, overall health, skin elasticity, and specific concerns about the neck and jawline area. Generally, individuals in their 40s to 70s are considered for this procedure, but age alone is not a disqualifying factor. Those with good skin quality and tone, as well as realistic expectations about the surgery's effects, are more likely to be suitable candidates.
Candidates for a deep plane neck lift typically include individuals seeking a more extensive correction of sagging, drooping, and wrinkling in the neck area.
CANDIDATE FOR THE PROCEDURE
​
It may take several weeks to months for swelling to fully dissipate and up to six months for incision lines to mature. Once healed, the incision lines from a neck lift are usually well concealed within the hairline and in the natural contours of the ear. Your final result should not only provide a more youthful and rested appearance, but also help you feel more confident about yourself.
