Male Neck Lift

Male neck lift surgery is a surgical procedure that aims to restore optimum neck definition through the removal or redistribution of excess skin and fat around the neck and jawline. It reduces the appearance of the “turkey neck”—a common sign of aging that can make one appear older and possibly even overweight.

Dr. Jacob Sedgh, a double-board certified facial plastic surgeon with expertise in head and neck surgery, offers advanced face and neck lift procedures for men seeking a stronger, rejuvenated profile. Recognized for his refined, natural-looking results and deep understanding of male aesthetics, Dr. Sedgh provides expert care in reducing signs of aging in the neck area, yielding a more chiseled jawline and youthful appearance while preserving masculine features.

Male Neck Lift FAQ

How is a male neck lift different from a female neck lift?
Dr. Sedgh tailors male neck lifts to maintain a rugged, masculine appearance. He takes care to avoid excessive skin tightening around the Adam’s apple, and carefully places incisions based on facial hair patterns and other masculine features.

Will there be visible scars after my neck lift?
Dr. Sedgh strategically places incisions in discreet areas, like behind the ears and in natural folds, to minimize visible scarring.

How long do neck lift results last?
With proper care, neck lift results can last for many years. Aging will continue naturally, but the improvements achieved are long-lasting.

Is neck lift surgery painful?
Most patients experience only mild discomfort after surgery, which can be managed with prescribed medications. Dr. Sedgh provides specific aftercare guidelines to ensure a smooth recovery.

Can a neck lift be combined with other procedures?
Yes, many men choose to combine a neck lift with procedures like a facelift, chin augmentation, or liposuction for enhanced results. Dr. Sedgh will discuss all options during your consultation.

MALE NECK LIFT PROCEDURE

Dr. Sedgh’s approach to male neck lift surgery considers the distinct structure of the male neck. Men tend to have shorter, thicker necks and more prominent Adam’s apples, which Dr. Sedgh addresses with meticulous care to avoid an unnatural appearance.

 

Here’s what to expect:

  1. Anesthesia: Performed under local or general anesthesia, as discussed during the consultation.
  2. Incisions: Made in discreet areas around the earlobes and behind the ears to minimize visible scarring.
  3. Muscle and Skin Adjustment: The platysma muscle is adjusted for a smoother, tighter neck appearance, and excess skin is trimmed.
  4. Liposuction: Used if necessary to remove any excess fat and create a lean, sculpted look.

Dr. Sedgh’s refined techniques reduce the appearance of vertical neck bands, redefine the jawline, and result in a masculine, well-proportioned profile.

RECOVERY

After the procedure, you can expect a moderate recovery period, similar to that of a facelift, with slight swelling, discomfort, and bruising that gradually subsides within a week. By carefully following Dr. Sedgh’s post-operative instructions, most men can return to work within two weeks.

What to Expect in Recovery:

  • Initial Downtime: Typically, one to two weeks for swelling and discomfort to ease.
  • Follow-Up Care: Regular post-surgery follow-ups to ensure healthy healing.
  • Long-Term Results: Results last many years with proper skin care and a healthy lifestyle.

Dr. Sedgh personally monitors each patient’s recovery process with regular follow-up appointments, ensuring optimal healing and results. He remains available to answer any questions and address any concerns throughout the recovery period.
