Question 2

Am I a Candidate for Neck Lift Surgery?

Accepted Answer

Ideal candidates are individuals in good overall health who are concerned with signs of aging in the lower face and neck, such as:
 • Sagging or loose "turkey neck" skin.
 • Excess fat under the chin (double chin).
 • Visible muscle banding in the neck.
 • A loss of jawline definition.
Candidates should be non-smokers and have realistic expectations for their surgical outcome.

Question 3

What Are the Benefits of a Neck Lift?

Accepted Answer

A neck lift (lower rhytidectomy) is designed to:
 • Eliminate excess, sagging skin for a smoother neck contour.
 • Remove stubborn fat deposits in the submental area.
 • Tighten underlying neck muscles to reduce vertical banding.
 • Create a sharp, well-defined jawline.

Question 4

Where Are My Neck Lift Incisions Made?

Accepted Answer

Dr. Kim places incisions in discreet, well-hidden locations, typically around the earlobe and behind the ear, extending into the hairline. In some cases, a small incision is also made under the chin. This allows Dr. Kim to tighten the muscles and remove excess skin with minimal visible evidence of surgery.

Question 5

Should I Combine My Neck Lift With Other Procedures?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A neck lift is frequently combined with a facelift (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/facelift)to ensure a seamless, youthful transition between the face and neck. Other common pairings include chin liposuction (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/chin-liposuction)to further refine the jawline or blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/blepharoplasty)for a full facial rejuvenation.

Question 6

What Will My Neck Lift Recovery Be Like?

Accepted Answer

A neck lift is an outpatient procedure. Most patients return to work and normal daily routines within 7 to 10 days. You should rest with your head elevated for several days to minimize swelling. While light activity is encouraged to promote circulation, strenuous exercise should be avoided for at least two weeks. Dr. Kim provides all patients with his cell phone number so he can be reached at any time during recovery.

Question 7

Is Neck Lift Surgery Painful?

Accepted Answer

The surgery is performed under anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Post-operative tightness, bruising, and tenderness are normal but can be effectively managed with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication.

Question 8

Will My Neck Lift Leave Scars?

Accepted Answer

While all surgical incisions result in some scarring, Dr. Kim uses meticulous techniques to place incisions in natural folds and hair-bearing areas. These scars are typically not readily visible and will fade significantly over time.
