Neck Lift Surgery
HOW IS A NECK LIFT PERFORMED?
A neck lift is performed by creating a small incision around each ear, and in some cases, a third one underneath the chin. Once the incisions are placed, the tissues beneath the skin are repositioned, and the excess skin is removed. The result is a smoother, firmer, younger-looking neck.
IS A NECK LIFT RIGHT FOR ME?
The neck is usually the first to show signs of aging, and if your face is still relatively wrinkle-free, having the dreaded “turkey neck” will make you appear much older. Many people choose to undergo this procedure to achieve a more youthful overall look. Your neck area will appear smooth, firm, and young.

OUR PRACTICE
WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE?
Depending on your case, fat may be rearranged or redistributed from the jowls and neck. If the platysma muscle causes vertical neck banding, it is either pulled to the sides or tightened and sewn together, and the skin is repositioned to cover the underlying tissues.
Dr. Sedgh then trims the excess skin and fat. In some cases, liposuction is performed in conjunction with the neck lift to reduce fat deposits in the jaw or neck and further improve the area’s contours. The final step is closing the incisions with sutures.
A PRECISION APPROACH
AND AN AUTHENTIC OUTCOME.
Dr. Sedgh personally executes each step of the procedure with care and precision to achieve a very natural, refreshed look that is firm, and youthful. Under his meticulous eye and expert hands, you can expect long-lasting results that are subtle with very minimal scarring.
WHAT IS THE RECOVERY FROM A NECK LIFT?
Following the procedure, a bandage will be carefully placed around your face and neck to help minimize swelling and bruising. Drainage tubes may also be installed to reduce excess fluid buildup. Dr. Sedgh will give you specific aftercare instructions and prescribe certain medications to facilitate proper healing of the surgical site, prevent infection, and help manage any side effects. The typical downtime for neck lift surgery is 10 to 14 days. After this period, most of the pain, discomfort, and swelling should dissipate.
A PERSONALIZED RECOVERY PLAN
You will have several follow-up appointments with Dr. Sedgh for up to one year after surgery. These follow-ups allow Dr. Sedgh to closely monitor and personally assess your recovery progress and ensure optimum healing. These post-op meetings usually take place in his clinic, but video conferences are also possible to accommodate international or out-of-town patients.
