Neck Lift Melbourne
Involves tightening and repositioning of structures in the neck area
Why Patients Consider a Neck Lift
Over time, natural ageing processes, changes in weight, sun exposure, and lifestyle factors can influence the way the neck looks and feels. The skin may become less firm, and fat deposits or muscle changes in the area can also contribute to these effects.
A neck lift procedure can involve the removal of skin and fat, as well as adjustments to underlying neck structures. Patients may consider this option when they want to address concerns such as skin folds, muscle banding, or fat beneath the chin. The choice to undergo surgery is personal and should follow a consultation, where suitability, risks, and possible outcomes are explained in detail.
Before deciding on cosmetic surgery, it's important to have realistic expectations about the outcome. Talk to your cosmetic doctor about what to expect from the surgery and make sure you understand the recovery time and results.
Neck Lift Options
The procedures we offer can be performed separately or combined with facelift surgery or other cosmetic procedures. Options for neck lift procedures include:
Traditional Neck Lift Surgery
The traditional method of neck lift surgery can involve removing skin and fat from the neck and chin area, along with adjusting the muscles. In some cases, incisions are made around the ear or under the chin, depending on what needs to be addressed. The remaining skin is then repositioned.
For some older patients, a zig-zag incision technique may be used, which avoids incisions around the ears and can help reduce certain risks. The length of the procedure varies depending on the extent of surgery.
Neck lift without Surgery
A thread lift is a non-surgical option sometimes considered for changes in the neck and jawline. This method involves placing threads beneath the skin in a way that allows them to provide support. The threads are positioned in opposite directions to help hold the tissues.
Combining Procedures
A neck lift can be combined with another procedure to address a broader area. Common procedures are:
Anti-wrinkle Treatments
Brow Lift
Chin Augmentation
Aesthetic Facial Treatments for Volume Loss
Removal of Excess Fat in the Under-eye Area
