Neck Lift
|
| Dr. Arzadon offers neck lift surgery for patients in Washington, DC, Arlington, Alexandria and surrounding areas of Virginia. |
| Everyone responds differently to the aging process, but for many the neck is the first area to show signs of aging with sagging skin. Neck rejuvenation surgery is performed by our doctor for patients from Gainesville and throughout Virginia to provide dramatic results and a more pleasing profile. These results are especially dramatic when combined with our other rejuvenating procedures. |
Am I a Good Candidate for a Neck Lift?
|
| The best candidates for neck rejuvenation are patients in good health with realistic expectations. They have good skin tone and elasticity. It is helpful if they have a fat pad under the skin and on top of the neck muscles. |
| A neck lift can correct the following concerns: |
- Loose, sagging skin under the chin
- Visible vertical bands in the neck
- Fat deposits in the neck
|
How is a Neck Lift Performed?
|
| Neck rejuvenation procedures are generally performed on an outpatient basis. They may be combined with other procedures in order to maximize improvement. There are many techniques used by Dr. Arzadon for neck lift surgery, including: |
Lasers : used to tighten the skin that is only a little loose
Neck liposuction : little straw-like cannulas are used to suction the fat away
Endoscopic surgery : a small incision placed underneath the chin may be used to tighten the neck muscles if you do not have excessive skin.
Necklift : may be the best approach if the excess skin is significant. The skin is pulled up and back and the excess skin is removed. This provides a new, more pleasing neck and jaw line. The incisions are hidden inconspicuously behind your ears. |
| Dr. Arzadon will help you choose the procedure or combination of procedures that will best meet your goals. |
What Can I Expect After a Neck Lift?
|
| Depending on the extent of the procedure, you may have some swelling and localized bruising which should subside after 4 -10 days. It is important that you continue to wear the elastic garment at night for 2 weeks. Most of our Arlington patients return to normal activities by the second day. Over the next several months, as the healing process occurs, the soft suppleness of the neck skin will return. |
