Neck Lift surgery is a procedure which tightens skin and muscles that have become loose and removes excess fat from the neck.

Dr. Diaz makes a vertical incision which extends from behind each ear, and a horizontal incision which extends about two inches along the hair line on the back of the neck. The muscles and skin are separated from the neck, tightened and placed further up to achieve a much more youthful appearance. The excess skin is then removed.

Neck Lift surgery is safe with minimal risks. Risks include infection, hematoma (blood clot under the skin) and injury to the nerves that control facial muscles.

There will be at least a week of downtime. The average patient is fully recovered between ten and fourteen days.

The results are a tighter, much younger looking neck that can change the overall appearance of the whole face.

After the surgery, sensations such as tightness, burning, pulling and numbness may occur. Swelling and bruising can be controlled with ice packs and medications prescribed by Dr. Diaz.

Results will be visible after bruising and swelling decrease in five to seven days.

During Neck Lift surgery, a monitored anesthesia is administered, so you will be asleep for the entire procedure.

The surgical procedure lasts between ninety minutes and two hours.

Additional treatment is not necessary; however, Neck Lift surgery can be combined with a face lift to accomplish a younger appearance.

Avoid aspirin and other blood thinning medications. Stop smoking at least two weeks prior to surgery.
