Who Should Consider Neck Lift Procedure?

Ideal candidates for a Limited Open Neck Lift are individuals noticing the early to moderate signs of aging in the neck and jawline areas, such as mild to moderate skin laxity, visible vertical neck bands, or a less defined jawline. Candidates should be in good overall health, non-smokers, or willing to quit, and have realistic expectations about the procedure’s outcomes. The procedure is particularly appealing to those seeking noticeable yet natural-looking rejuvenation with a less invasive approach than a full neck lift. A consultation with a medical professional can determine your suitability for this procedure and tailor the approach to your unique needs.

What to Expect When Getting Open Neck Lift Procedure?

 

Undergoing a Limited Open Neck Lift begins with a comprehensive consultation to discuss your aesthetic goals and evaluate your candidacy. The procedure itself is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, ensuring your comfort throughout. Small, strategically placed incisions are made, often beneath the chin or behind the ears, to minimize visible scarring. Through these incisions, necessary adjustments are made to the muscle and skin to achieve a smoother, more youthful neckline. The procedure usually takes a few hours, and most patients can return home the same day.

Preparing for your procedure

Preparation is key to a successful Limited Open Neck Lift. During your pre-operative consultations, our team will provide detailed instructions tailored to your specific case. General preparation steps include discontinuing certain medications and supplements that can increase bleeding, stopping smoking to enhance healing, arranging for transportation and post-procedure care, and setting up a comfortable recovery area at home. Adhering to these guidelines ensures a smoother procedure and recovery process.

Open Neck Lift Surgery Recovery

Recovery from a Limited Open Neck Lift involves a period of rest and gradual return to daily activities. Initial swelling and bruising are normal and subside within a few weeks. We recommend taking it easy and avoiding strenuous activities for a specified period to ensure optimal healing. Follow-up appointments are crucial to monitor your progress and address any concerns. Most patients can resume work and social activities with confidence shortly after the procedure, with full results becoming more apparent as the healing process concludes.

    Additional FAQs

    How is a Limited Open Neck Lift Procedure Performed?
    Also referred to as a limited incision neck lift, the limited open neck lift procedure is performed by a plastic surgeon who makes a small incision behind the lower portion of the ear lobe so he can pull up the jaw line, jowls, neck, and lift the lower portion of the face. This is a less invasive procedure compared to a full facelift, and is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures people invest in that reduces the signs of aging.
    How Long is the Recovery Time for an Open Neck Lift Procedure?
    The average recovery time for a limited open neck lift procedure is 10 to 14 days. After this period of time you will be able to wear makeup again, which can aid in covering up any bruising–a normal side effect of any cosmetic facial surgery. Each individual will have a different healing experience, and when you have your pre-surgical examination your physician will be able to give you realistic expectations for the recovery process, which is moderately quick with little discomfort. You may be prescribed pain killers based on your needs, and given post-care instructions for pain management and keeping swelling down to a minimum. Make sure to avoid any strenuous activity for the first two weeks after your limited open neck lift procedure, and make sure you have a family member or friend on hand to help you with basic care needs.
    Why do Patients Get a Limited Open Neck Lift Procedure?
    The one thing all limited open neck lift candidates have in common is the desire to reduce the physical signs of aging on the face and neck. Yet there are different reasons why some go with this procedure. First of all, some patients may only need corrective surgery on the lower part of the face and the neck. For these candidates a full facelift would be unnecessary. Then there are people who may not be emotionally ready for a full facelift, so they opt for the limited open neck lift procedure because it is less invasive, and enables the patient to progress to additional procedures, when they are physically and emotionally ready.
