Neck Lift Consultation
Neck Lift Consultation
Natural aging, weight loss, and genetics create the little lines, sags, and bags that make you look older than you are. Consult Christopher Jones MD PC, if you want a surgical correction that will tighten skin and muscle that have lost their elasticity. We can help you regain a younger, brighter look.
What is a neck lift?
Your neck skin is just as vulnerable to the effects of aging and sun damage as the skin on your face. A neck lift tightens the skin as well as the underlying muscle.
Who is a good candidate?
You may consider a neck lift if an aged appearance is negatively affecting self-esteem. An ongoing smoking habit will disqualify a patient for a neck lift.
Does it take a long time to recover?
Depending on the extent of the work done on your face or neck, expect to recover in about 2 weeks. We will work with you in follow-up to get you back to your lifestyle as quickly as possible.
Any bruising and swelling resulting from the surgery should resolve considerably in 10-14 days. You’ll need to carefully protect your face from the sun post surgery. Dr. Jones will let you know when it’s acceptable to wear makeup again.
How long will the results last?
You can’t stop aging, but a neck lift can set back the clock. You will look far younger than you would if you didn’t have the surgery. To preserve your results for longer, maintain a healthy weight and keep up a regular skin care regimen that fights aging. Continued vigilance about sun exposure is a great way to keep your skin looking healthy.
