What can a neck and jowl lift do?

The jowl and neck area are one of the first places affected by the natural aging process. Other factors, like sun exposure, weight loss, and genetics, can also lead to aesthetic changes in a person's neckline. The skin on the neck area is delicate and thin by nature, so when it starts to lose elasticity, sagging jowls can develop. A neck and jowl lift can restore and rejuvenate a more youthful profile, so patients can feel more confident about how they look. It can reduce signs of aging, giving Orange County, CA women and men a more contoured neck and jawline.

What can a neck lift address?

A lower rhytidectomy, or neck lift surgery, can restore the neck area and lower jawline, providing men and women with dramatic results. The neck area is comprised of an underlying band of muscles that become less tight or taut with age. When these muscles, in the front and back of the neck, lose elasticity, it causes the lower jowls and neck skin to droop and sag. Outside of age, other conditions that can alter the lower jowls and skin on the neck area extreme weight loss and excessive sun exposure. Neck lift surgery is a cosmetic procedure designed to tighten sagging skin and muscles in the lower portion of the face and restore the natural contours of a patient's jawline and neck. It can address several issues, such as:

  • Double chin
  • Muscle laxity or loose neck bands

  • Fatty deposits around the jowls and underneath the chin

How long does neck lift surgery take?

The primary goal of a neck and jowl lift surgery is to give Orange County, CA men and women a younger-looking profile. It can contour and tighten the jawline, throat, and neck area. During a private consultation, Dr. Sadati will listen to his patients' aesthetic needs, answer questions, and devise a surgical plan. He will also determine if liposuction is necessary to remove any excess fatty tissue to give his Southern California patients optimal contouring results. Using an innovative option of a local anesthetic with twilight sedation, Dr. Sadati's patients can forgo general anesthesia with this skin tightening surgery. Surgical incisions are made behind the ears and under the chin, if necessary. The skin and underlying band of muscles will be gradually tightened to further contour the lower jowl and neck area.
