Neck Lift Surgery Edmonton, Alberta
A neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to improve visible signs of aging of the tissue in the neck and jawline areas. This procedure can be highly beneficial for individuals experiencing excess wrinkling of the neck skin, a double chin, or jowls that are due to lower face sagging.
As we age, the skin in our neck area can lose elasticity and muscle tone, leading to an aged appearance from wrinkles, lines, folds, and creases. Factors such as sun damage, weight fluctuations, and genetics can accelerate these changes in these features. A neck lift addresses the effects from these issues by removing excess skin, tightening underlying muscles, and improving the contour of the jawline.
Procedure Details
Neck lift surgeries generally take 2 to 3 hours and are performed under general anesthesia for sedation. It typically involves an incision behind the ear and possibly under the chin. Dr. Ball, cosmetic surgeon, can reposition or remove excess fat from the patient through these incisions, tighten the platysma muscle, and remove or alter neck skin. The goal of these techniques is to restore a smoother, more defined neck and jawline, contributing to a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
Recovery and Results
Recovery time from neck lifts vary for each individual, but most patients can expect to return to normal activities within two weeks. It’s common to experience some discomfort with swelling and bruising, but these symptoms usually subside within a week or two. Following Dr. Ball’s post-operative instructions are crucial for a smooth recovery, optimal healing results, and getting the look of rejuvenation you desire.
