Neck lift Surgery: Things You Should Know

Neck lift surgery is one of the most effective and satisfied procedures in cosmetic medicine. In this procedure, the plastic surgeon removes excess skin and fat deposits from the neck area, sometimes restructures the underlying muscle, and it causes a significant rejuvenation on the patient's appearance. It is widely accepted as one of the safest and most reliable procedures in plastic surgery. For many people, it is enough to undergo a neck lift liposuction, while others need more complex neck surgery in order to fight with aging. A neck lift is usually conducted as a part of general facelift surgery, but in recent years it has become a standalone cosmetic surgery because neck aging does not always develop parallel to face skin aging.

In this article, we will try to get to know neck lift surgery better under a few important titles about it.

What Is a Neck Lift? Neck Lift Procedure

The loss of slender contours in the face and neck can be due to a variety of reasons, including gravity, environmental conditions, unhealthy lifestyle, heredity, and stress. Some people may feel a full facelift is not yet necessary because the upper face still looks youthful. Many patients have excess wrinkling of the neck skin, sometimes a double chin or even "turkey neck" and jowl lines.

When the neck area doesn't suit the upper facial good appearance, a neck lift may be chosen as a good solution.  Neck lift procedures are usually performed under local anesthesia, but it can be performed under a general one if that’s what the patient expects. After all, people wishing to tighten neck skin do not have to be aware while the neck lift surgeon performs the neck surgery.

Neck Lift Candidates

There are some common reasons and candidacy requirements to consider neck lift surgery:
• If you want to get a slender neck representing the smooth jawline.
• If you want to get rid of excess skin and fat in the neck, causing folds and lines.
• If you are in good general health, if you provide appropriate test results and have realistic expectations, you are a good candidate for this procedure

Neck Lift Without Surgery?

For some patients, there is not "excess" neck skin but poor neck contour instead. This problem can be treated with a short scar neck lift procedure, whereby no skin is removed. The surgeon performs this procedure through a submental incision without removes the skin, and this procedure relies on modification of deep-layer structures to improve neck contour. Or through non-surgical skin tightening procedure, surgeons can effectively tighten moderately loose or sagging skin on the face, neck, and body, helping patients improve their appearance and postpone the need for surgery for a while.

So, the next time you will hear about neck lift without surgery or non-surgery, please find out more and remember that no non-surgical neck treatments will guarantee you good results in more severe cases of excess skin or fat.

Neck Lift Liposuction

Neck lift liposuction is one of the most attractive neck lift procedures – it guarantees close to no neck lift surgery scars, and a quick neck lift recovery. In neck lift liposuction, as in all kinds of liposuction surgery, excess fat is removed by a special tube, leaving a smoother skin and shape of one’s neck. Neck liposuction is relatively a quick procedure, and usually, it is performed under local anesthesia. The surgeon inserts a small liposuction tube (cannula) through 1 or 2 tiny incisions which are concealed beneath the chin or behind the ears, then removes excess fat and sculpts a natural contour to the chin and neck.

Neck Lift Cost

The neck lift cost depends on many factors such as the extent of surgery, in some cases an additional procedure may be needed to ensure the suitable facial proportion, it also depends on the surgeon's level of training and skill, as in every field of medicine, and of course the location and travel costs are also needed to be added to the overall costs.

As an example, in the USA the average cost of a neck lift is estimated to be €5000 while in Turkey, neck surgery may be much cheaper. In clinics of Istanbul, Ankara, or Izmir, the average cost of a neck lift is as low as €2950. Additionally, neck lift surgery cost is not the price of the neck surgery itself! Hospital stay, anesthesia, and other price elements are also much more expensive in the West than in health tourism destinations such as Turkey. Even if you add plane tickets and accommodation costs, your neck lift cost will be below that back home.
