The neck is often an area of concern for patients looking for facial rejuvenation. Unfortunately, in neck rejuvenation, one size does not fit all. There are many factors which contribute to neck aging. This includes excess fat of the neck, excess skin of the neck, loss of skin tension in the neck, excess neck muscle, and a combination of these. Determining the cause of the aging and putting together a detailed treatment plan is crucial to getting the best results possible.

Is a neck lift painful? Every person has a different feeling of pain. The majority of patients do not identify any of the procedures which result in neck rejuvenation as painful procedures. For most patients, over the counter pain medication is enough to control any discomfort they may have. Most of the procedures as well can be done using only local anesthesia though sedation or general anesthesia can be undertaken for patient comfort.

A combination of procedures can be undertaken to optimally perform neck lift surgery. Sometimes a combination of liposuction, plastysmaplasty, and lower facelift are necessary to obtain optimal neck lift results. Unfortunately, newer is not necessarily better. Some procedures which are touted to be minimally invasive in neck rejuvenation can be good for patients with the appropriate skin and aging changes while some patients with more extensive aging may not see good results.

For patients with excess skin of the neck, either alone or after liposuction procedures, a lower facelift may be in order to pull the neck tight and remove the excess skin. Incisions are made around the ears and an incision is made under the chin. The skin is lifted from the deeper structures, pulled tight, and excess skin in removed.

Consulting with a qualified and experienced facial plastic or plastic surgeon is the first step in creating a plan of treatment for anyone with a facial rejuvenation concern. The surgeon can discuss the risks and benefits of surgery, proposed procedures, and answer other questions you may have about surgery.
