Neck Lift

Neck Lift in Fort Myers, FL

A neck lift, a procedure designed to rejuvenate your appearance and elevate your self-confidence, targets the loose skin and muscles of the neck. Over time, factors such as aging and the relentless pull of gravity can lead to sagging skin, wrinkles, and prominent lines in the neck region. These concerns can be attributed to various factors, including genetic predispositions, the natural aging process, or environmental factors.  

A neck lift addresses these signs of aging by enhancing the appearance of the neck and jawline, revitalizing your overall facial harmony by removing the excess skin and fat from the neck. This surgical intervention is not only about appearance but also about revitalizing your self-esteem and unveiling a more youthful version of yourself. 

 

 

What is a neck lift?

A neck lift is a specialized surgical process that concentrates on enhancing the neck and jawline. This procedure is done as an outpatient basis under intravenous anesthesia. A small incision is made under the chin. The fat is suctioned or directly excised, muscles are tightened, and a small amount of skin may be removed, depending on a variety of factors.

Dr. Ritrosky pays meticulous attention to your distinctive facial features and collaborates closely with you to understand your unique goals and concerns. This personalized approach ensures that the procedure aligns seamlessly with your individual facial attributes and vision. A neck lift involves repositioning and tightening the underlying muscles and removing excess skin to attain a rejuvenated and refreshed appearance. A neck lift can result in a more youthful, revitalized, and confident you.

What does the healing process look like?

Following your neck lift, you’ll transition into a recuperation and healing phase that generally involves a few weeks of downtime. While you may experience some swelling and discomfort, these temporary effects can be efficiently managed with prescribed pain medication. You will be sent home with your chin and neck wrapped in dressings. Bruising and swelling typically subside over the next 2 weeks.

The final results become evident in 1-3 months. Over time, you’ll witness the remarkable enhancements in your neck and jawline. Everyone heals differently. If you ever have questions or concerns, our team is here and happy to address them!
