Surgical Neck Lift Treatment in Springfield, MO
Defined facial features in the neck and chin areas fade as we age, but that doesn’t mean you need to avoid the camera or feel self-conscious. A neck lift treatment is a surgical procedure that can help improve visible signs of aging in the neck and jawline. When your neck area doesn’t compliment the rest of your facial structure, consider a neck lift from Bentley Skincare & Wellness.
What is a Neck Lift?
A neck lift, is a surgical procedure designed to rid your neck and jawline of excess fatty deposits, loose skin and double-chin. For a more youthful contour to your lower face, an incision will be made at your hairline and continue down around the ear and end at your posterior hairline. Fat will then be sculpted and redistributed from the jawline and neck, excess skin will be trimmed away, and the muscles will be tightened to ensure a long-lasting result.
No one enjoys looking older, and with a neck lift from Bentley Skincare & Wellness, you don’t have to. This procedure allows you to look and feel more youthful without changing your fundamental appearance. Whether you’re suffering from sagging skin (turkey neck) or excess fat deposits causing a double-chin appearance, a neck lift can help tighten and smooth the skin. This two to three hour procedure is performed under general anesthesia and requires an extensive consultation with Dr. Delport.
During your consultation, we’ll discuss your goals and expectations, current eating and exercise habits, and medical history. Additionally, we’ll examine and measure your neck and jawline to determine the best course of action for your desired results. At Bentley Skincare & Wellness, we want each of our clients to walk out feeling more like themselves, which is why we operate with one goal in mind—to help people look better and feel better.
Frequently Asked Questions
For the first few days after your surgery, we advise you to avoid turning or twisting your head (as difficult as that may be) to avoid ripping the stitches. You’ll experience minimal discomfort—slight bruising and swelling—that will subside after about a week. Cold compresses and keeping your head elevated for the first 48-hours post-surgery will also help with any tenderness.
The results of a neck lift depend entirely on the patient, but you can typically expect to see lasting results for up to 10 years. Keep in mind, this is not a permanent surgery and we cannot stop your face from aging over time. But, by pairing this procedure with a healthy diet and lifestyle, your neck will continue to look younger, regardless of age.
We advise patients to refrain from participating in any strenuous activities, including work, for at least a week post-operation. High-energy and excessive movement, such as working out, should be introduced progressively. After four to six weeks, you should be able to resume your usual routine.
