Neck Lift

Introduction

Redefine Your Neck And Jawline – NECK LIFT

Neck lift surgery can be instrumental in restoring a taut, youthful profile, which supports a positive self-image. The procedure can combat signs of aging, such as crepe-like skin, sagging, vertical bands, and submental fullness, allowing patients to look and feel their best once again.

Dr. Andrew Mather in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, has been delivering age-defying cosmetic results for over 15 years. He specializes in the art of rejuvenating facial plastic surgery and has built a reputation for excellence in the field of facial aging surgery. He is one of the few aesthetic artists in Edmonton who focuses exclusively on head and neck surgery, and he is the sole surgeon in Alberta performing deep-plane preservational neck lifts. Dr. Mather utilizes today’s most innovative techniques to deliver an outstanding patient experience and stunning results.

What is a Neck Lift?

As we age, the neck is one of the regions of the body most susceptible to the loss of elasticity and the development of wrinkles. The sagging of this loose tissue can result in the appearance of a “turkey neck,” which can take attention away from other facial features and give the perception of aging and weight gain, adding years to one’s appearance. The accumulated fat deposits in this region can also accentuate loose skin, adding years to one’s appearance and contributing to the development of a double chin. These changes can significantly ruin an otherwise attractive profile, giving the impression of early aging and weight gain, even as the rest of the body remains fit.

Most people don’t place enough attention on the neck region, but a successful neck lift provides dramatic results that make you appear significantly younger.

Neck lift surgery is designed to recontour and slim the areas of the neck, eliminating signs of aging, sagging skin, and jowls. Neck lift surgery is often performed in conjunction with a facelift and blepharoplasty to give a harmonious, refreshed appearance to the entire face.

What Are the Benefits of a Neck Lift?

Dr. Mather’s neck lift removes excessive hanging skin from the neck and jawline, reduces the appearance of unsightly vertical neck bands, restores definition at the jawline, and smooths lines and wrinkles on the neck. It provides the following key benefits for patients in and beyond Edmonton:

 

  • Accentuated Jawline: When the neck is lax, it can affect a person’s overall facial harmony. A neck lift is designed to smooth the skin, lift sagging muscles, and remove excess fat to create a more defined and smooth neck and jawline. 
  • Rejuvenated Appearance: Sagging skin and muscle, as well as excess fat in the chin and neck, can contribute to the development of wrinkles and fine lines. Once the skin and fat are removed, the tightening of the neck skin will improve fine wrinkles in the chin and neck area, creating a softer, smoother, and more youthful appearance.
  • Increased Confidence: Many people feel as if they look unattractive when they have sagging skin and fat below the chin, also known as the dreaded “double chin.” Once the excess fat is removed and sagging skin and muscles are corrected, patients may no longer feel insecure about their facial appearance. With improved neck contours, patients often experience a boost in confidence and finally feel comfortable in their own skin.

Who Are the Best Candidates For a Neck Lift?

If you are one of the countless people unhappy with the visible signs of aging on your neck skin and tissue, you are likely a good candidate for a neck lift. The surgery restores definition, firmness, and a youthful appearance, significantly enhancing your overall facial look. If you are in good general health and safe to undergo surgery, a neck lift performed by Dr. Mather in Edmonton could be the perfect way to take years off your appearance.

Advanced Contouring of the Neck

Dr. Mather’s neck lift is ideal for those candidates who have looseness and fullness in the neck area alone, with an overall good cheek and jawline contour.

A Deep Plane Neck Lift has revolutionized the landscape of neck rejuvenation by working with the deeper muscle and fat layers, which a traditional Neck Lift does not address. This advanced surgical technique, performed by Dr. Mather, is not only beneficial for patients seeking to address sagging skin that has occurred with time, but also for younger individuals who may inherit unfavourable, heavy necks unrelated to aging.

Unlike superficial techniques, which only target the surface of the skin, a Deep Plane Neck Lift comprehensively sculpts the underlying structures, including the deep fat and muscle layers, to achieve a more contoured result. Customized incisions are typically placed beneath the chin and around the ears; however, each patient’s unique anatomy requires a tailored approach. 
Dr. Mather meticulously plans the surgical procedure to address specific concerns and nuances of each individual’s neck structure, ensuring a natural outcome while minimizing visible scarring. The Deep Plane Neck Lift provides an advanced surgical solution that transcends conventional boundaries, ensuring a natural-looking, rejuvenated neck appearance that lasts for years to come.

What to Expect on the Day of Neck Lift Surgery

Neck lift surgery with Dr. Mather in Edmonton is performed under intravenous sedation or general anesthesia. Incisions are hidden below the chin and sometimes behind the ears. This allows any scars that may result to be well concealed and nearly invisible once healed. Each surgery is unique and will be tailored to the specific needs of the individual patient, with the total treatment time extending 1 to 2 hours.

Neck Lift Recovery

After surgery, it is normal to experience mild swelling, bruising, and soreness. These symptoms can be effectively managed with pain medications prescribed by a doctor, along with plenty of rest. Sleep with your head elevated, as this can help reduce overall swelling. You may resume gentle cardiovascular exercise approximately one to two weeks following your neck lift surgery. More vigorous types of exercise can begin once our surgeon tells you it is safe, generally within three weeks.

    I have always had extra skin under my chin making it look like I didn’t have a neck.
