Neck Lift in New Orleans, LA

Do you wear turtlenecks or scarves the whole year to conceal the loose skin on your neck?

This facial surgery reshapes and tightens the section on the underside of your chin and the entire neck to remove a "double chin" or "turkey neck."

During a neck lift, general anesthesia is typically used. An incision is placed around your ears, and another one may also be made under your chin. If isolated areas of fat exist, liposuction will be completed. Next, any sagging or hanging skin will be trimmed away, and the underlying tissue and remaining skin will be pulled tight. This technique is conducted until the desired shape and contour have been attained. Although sutures are placed at the incision area, scarring should not be visible since they were placed under your chin. Furthermore, other nonsurgical alternatives can help the skin's texture and surface, such as a chemical peel, to produce a vibrantly glowing appearance. After neck lift surgery, you will most likely experience some bruising, swelling, and moderate discomfort, but these will dissipate in a few days. You should rest and try to avoid exercise or strenuous activities for several weeks to assist in the recovery. While recovering, fitted tops should be avoided. You should notice visible differences almost immediately.
