Sun damage, weight loss, or the simple aging process can all cause the neck to sag or droop, and it’s fairly common to see these signs of aging present themselves in the neck before they do in the face. Loose neck muscles can lead to banding on the neck or drooping skin, neither of which tend to be welcomed developments. To schedule your neck lift in Scottsdale, contact us today!

More About the Neck Lift Procedure in Scottsdale
The neck lift procedure begins with a small, inconspicuous incision directly below the chin, and behind the crease of the ears, in some cases, as well.
A procedure known as a cervicoplasty helps to remove excess skin, while the platysmaplasty procedure removes or alters the musculature.
Liposuction can also be used to remove excess fat during a neck lift in Scottsdale, with small incisions that will be sutured closed, as the neck lift is completed.
A neck lift procedure takes two to three hours and may be performed under general or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on your preference.
Most procedures are performed on an outpatient basis.

Neck Lift Recovery
Some swelling and bruising is normal after your procedure, and can last up to 10 days. You’ll be advised to keep your head still and avoid turning or twisting for the first few days, while applying cold compresses and keeping your head elevated for the first 48 hours can help to minimize swelling. We’ll make sure you’re set up with prescription medication to help make sure your recovery process is a comfortable one.
About one week after your neck lift in Scottsdale, we’ll set up an appointment to remove your sutures. Most patients find that they can return to their daily lives within about two weeks, once the bruising and swelling has been given the chance to subside completely. We’ll advise, though, that you take care to avoid more strenuous activities for about four to six weeks.

Neck Lift FAQs
What procedures can I combine with my neck lift?
Neck lift surgery is most often done in tandem with a mini or full facelift as well as with liposuction on other parts of the body. This has the advantage of shortening recovery periods as well as dramatically improving the results of the procedures since everything from the neck to the eyes is being treated.
How much does a neck lift cost?
Neck lift costs vary from person to person, depending on how much surgical work is to be done. Your cost may also include anesthesia and operating room fees, as well as any pain medications. We can provide you a complete cost for your procedure after a personal consultation.
Will I have scars after my neck lift?
Neck lift surgery involves making small incisions behind the ears and beneath the chin that are usually difficult to detect after surgery. Any time the skin is cut or an incision is made, a scar naturally forms. Dr. Admire strives to make these as imperceptible as possible.
