Necklift Surgery

With age, the muscles supporting the neck weaken, allowing vertical bands to emerge on the neck. Along with the bands, fat accumulates under the chin, and excess skin begins to sag. A necklift procedure smooths and tightens skin around the neck and removes unwanted fat to provide a more youthful appearance. When combined with a facelift, or mini facelift, the results are impressive and long-lasting. During the initial consultation, Dr. Abramson will determine what combination of procedures is needed to not only rejuvenate the neck area but the face as well.

Candidates for a Necklift

  • Loose, sagging skin from under the chin
  • Visible vertical bands on the neck
  • Areas of fat under the chin, aka double chin, and on the neck

Procedure Preparation

Prior to a necklift and facelift procedures, Dr. Abramson recommends that patients adhere to standard pre-op guidelines to allow for patient safety and maximum post-op results:

  • Eat a healthy diet.
  • DO NOT smoke in the weeks before and after surgery.
  • DO NOT take pain medication containing aspirin or ibuprofen.
  • Provide Dr. Abramson with a list of any medications you take regularly.
  • DO NOT eat or drink after midnight the night before the procedure.
  • DO NOT wear makeup or contact lenses to surgery.
  • Patients must have a friend or relative drive them to and from the procedure.

About the Procedure

Dr. Abramson performs necklift and facelift surgery as an outpatient procedure using local anesthesia. During the procedure, loose skin is pulled up, back and then removed. Incisions are hidden behind the ears thus providing a more youthful neck and jawline. The necklift often accompanies a mini-facelift or full-facelift procedure for a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Aftercare and Recovery

Because a necklift and facelift are considered outpatient procedures, patients can begin the recovery process in the comfort of their own home the same day as surgery. After the procedure, a loose fitting dressing is applied. Typically, there is little to no discomfort after surgery; however, if pain is present it can easily be controlled with over-the-counter medication. Discoloration and bruising is a normal part of the recovery process and generally fades within seven days. To help the recovery process, Dr. Abramson provides important guidelines:

  • Clean incisions with hydrogen peroxide daily
  • Apply antibiotic ointments to incisions daily
  • Wear the chinstrap provided as much as possible for 1 week after surgery
  • DO NOT wear earrings for three weeks after surgery
  • Recline in a face-up position at a 45-degree angle for at least two weeks
  • Shower with lukewarm water starting 48 hours after surgery
  • No heavy exercise for 2 weeks
  • Keep scheduled follow-up appointments

Facelift Surgery

Facelifts can reverse the effects gravity has on the face and make you look younger and fresher. As we age, we all experience the effects of gravity and age-related changes. Stress, wear and tear, and lifestyle factors also contribute to the unwanted changes we see in our faces such as deep creases, lines, wrinkles, folds and fat deposits. Men and women in their 40s and older commonly decide to “turn back the clock” by having facelifts.

A facelift from Dr. Peter Abramson is the obvious choice to improve the signs of aging and easily achieve a more youthful appearance. A facelift involves removing excess fat and skin from the face, tightening relaxed muscles, and re-draping the skin over the face and neck. A facelift can be done on its own or along with other facial procedures such as a forehead lift, eyelid surgery or nose reshaping. The results give you a more youthful appearance with smoother, tighter skin, while removing the unwanted lines, wrinkles, and folds.
