Your neck reveals your age before almost anywhere else on your body, and with time you may have noticed loose or flapping skin hanging from your neck. Is it time for you to lose the turtleneck sweaters you wear to hide your neck and to regain your youthful facial profile? Dr. Garcia, a double board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, has been North Florida’s face expert since 2001. Dr. Garcia can help you revive your appearance with a neck lift.
Rejuvenate Your Neck with a Neck Lift
If you have excess fat in your lower face and neck, or if your neck profile is characterized by sagging skin, neck folds, neck bands or a “turkey wattle,” then a neck lift might be right for you. A neck lift tightens your neck muscles and reduces sagging skin to help you look younger and refreshed.
The Neck Lift Procedure
Performed on an outpatient basis, your neck lift surgery with Dr. Garcia may be performed under local anesthesia. The procedure addresses the underlying neck muscles by tightening then removing excess skin and fat.
Post-Procedure Information
Following your surgery some mild swelling and bruising may occur, but most patients are able to resume their regular activities within a week. Dr. Garcia will prescribe appropriate pain medication to help minimize your discomfort, and your absorbable sutures will be removed or trimmed after one week.
