About the Neck Lift Procedure

The face and neck are prone to lose youthful contours due to stress, environment, heredity, and gravity. When the neck doesn’t quite match the facial appearance, a neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy, could be a good solution. A neck lift procedure in Fort Worth performed by Dr. Goggin can correct excess fat and skin, muscle banding, and excess fatty deposits, leaving the neck area looking and feeling youthful again.

Downtime: 2 weeks

What Is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift achieves the most significant improvement by eliminating  signs of aging in all areas of the neck and produces a very natural appearance. During a neck lift procedure, muscles are tightened and sagging skin is removed to provide a more youthful appearance. 

A neck lift is often performed along with a face lift procedure. The surgeon tightens the neck muscles and removes sagging skin to produce smoother, more youthful-looking neck contours. The surgeon can also remove fat deposits in the neck during this procedure.

He will spend time reviewing before and after photos, discuss a variety of treatment options, and answer any questions that you may have.

Pre-surgery

Before your surgery, our team will give you a pre-operative packet with a list of instructions in preparation for your surgery. We will spend time reviewing these instructions with you to ensure that you are confident and comfortable before your procedure. Our goal is to provide education and be there for you every step of the way. Patients should be off all blood thinners 2 weeks prior to surgery. We advise strict smoking/nicotine cessation 6 weeks prior to surgery and 6 weeks after. 

Recovery Timeline

Dr. Goggin and the Westside team will give you specific information regarding aftercare to optimize your post-op recovery. Our team will be available to answer any questions or concerns you may have. Recovery time can be variable between patients and surgeries. After surgery, recovery is typically 2 weeks. Most patients will require assistance for the first 24 hours after surgery. We recommend you drink plenty of fluids, eat a healthy diet, and walk often to optimize healing.

Who is an ideal candidate for a neck lift?

Ideal candidates for a neck lift can have deep wrinkles or sagging skin on their neck.

Will there be a noticeable scar left behind?

As with any incision made, there will be a scar left behind. However, incisions are meticulously planned and scars tend to heal exceptionally well.

What is recovery like?

You should arrange for someone to drive you home after surgery and assist you for the first 24 to 48 hours of recovery. As a rule of thumb, there is generally not a lot of pain after a neck lift. Your surgeon will prescribe medications to keep you as comfortable as possible. Swelling and bruising may last from a few days to a few weeks. Most patients can return to work within two weeks.

When will I see the final results of my neck lift?

Most patients see significant results from their neck lift within four to six months, although subtle changes may continue to occur for up to a year after the procedure.
