Deep Neck Lift Thousand Oaks

A defined jawline and neckline portray beauty, youth, and refinement. When the neck is smooth and graceful, the other facial features are balanced to enhance overall facial aesthetics. However, the neck may show signs of aging before the face.

If you’re unhappy with how your neck looks, such as if your neck appears full or your jawline lacks definition, Dr. Tansavatdi is here to help. As a facial surgeon, she performs outstanding deep neck lift procedures in the Westlake Village and Thousand Oaks area to contour the neck, taking years off your appearance.

What Is The Difference Between A Deep Neck Lift And Neck Liposuction?

A deep neck lift addresses the contours of the neck to sculpt the neckline and jawline, including the following:

Skin
Muscle
Fat
Connective tissues
Glands

The results of a deep neck lift will last between ten and fifteen years because the neck skin, muscle, and fat layers will continue to age after recovery is complete. Most patients can return to sedentary work within two weeks of their surgery and return to exercise within one month.

Neck liposuction sculpts the chin and jawline by removing excess fat but does not address lax skin or muscles. The best candidates for liposuction have good skin elasticity and muscle tone and only want to address unwanted fat. Liposuction is generally a shorter and less invasive procedure with reduced recovery time compared to deep neck contouring. However, its results are more limited and less dramatic.

What Are The Benefits Of A Deep Neck Lift?

Neck lift surgery removes unwanted fat and skin, giving the neck a slimmer and more youthful contour. This procedure also tightens the platysma muscle, which separates and sags over time, further contributing to an unsightly neck appearance. Dr. Tansavatdi enhances the shape and appearance of the entire neck region while tightening excess skin and improving visible signs of aging along your neck and jawline.

A deep neck lift provides the following unique benefits for patients who would like to sculpt,
define, and contour their necks:
Eliminates a double chin
Defines and sculpts the shape of the jawline
Contours the neck for a graceful, more elegant shape
Causes minimal scarring
Improves self-confidence and self-esteem

Am I A Good Candidate For A Deep Neck Lift?

In general, neck lift surgery can:

Tighten sagging neck skin
Smooth wrinkles and creases
Remove excess fatty deposits beneath the chin
Improve the appearance of jowls
Correct protruding platysmal bands
Define the jawline
Enhance the chin
Balance facial features
Achieve a slimmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking neck

The deep neck lift procedure best suits younger patients under 40 with genetically heavy necks. Patients over 40 are the best candidates for a deep plane facelift, which combines a deep plane facelift with a neck lift.

Ideal candidates for a deep neck lift meet the following criteria:

Are in good physical and mental health
Have no serious medical concerns
Do not smoke
Have lost definition in their jawline
Have a thicker or heavy neck contour

If Dr. Tansavatdi determines that you are not a good candidate for a deep neck lift, she can help you explore other options that are better suited to your needs. Dr. Tansavatdi offers an extensive range of facial plastic surgery procedures and non-surgical anti-aging treatments, including FaceTite, a non-invasive neck lift that uses radiofrequency (RF) technology to tighten loose skin and stimulate collagen growth.

Deep Neck Lift Procedure And Recovery

Expect between seven and fourteen days of downtime after your deep neck lift. Expect bruising and swelling, which you can treat with over-the-counter medication and ice compresses. Sleep with your head elevated, and do not lift anything heavy or exert yourself while healing.

Final results can take four to six months to appear. At that point, you can resume more vigorous activity, such as exercise. Your scar, well hidden in the lines under the chin, will fade over six months to one year.
