Neck Lift
A neck lift is a combination of procedures that can restore a firm, smooth, youthful appearance to your neck. Depending on your goals, the procedure could be a combination of treatments. The procedures generally performed during a neck lift include cervicoplasty, platysmaplasty, and liposuction. Cervicoplasty is performed to remove any excess, sagging skin. Platysmaplasty is performed to tighten the neck muscles. Liposuction is used to remove excess fatty tissue. Combining these procedures will not only provide more definition to your face and jawline but can also provide the appearance of weight loss.
In the initial consultation, Dr. Cohn will work with you to develop a plan tailored to achieve the results you desire. If you are looking for a more balanced, complete facial and neck appearance, you might also consider adding a facelift, rhinoplasty or brow lift.
Living a healthy lifestyle by being physically active, maintaining a stable weight, and not smoking will aid in the success and longevity of your neck lift. Realistic outcomes for your surgery and a positive mindset are vital for optimal results.

Neck Lift Procedures
A traditional neck lift is appropriate for those who want a smoother, tighter-looking neck. After intravenous sedation or general anesthesia is applied, a small incision is made under the chin and behind or around the ears. The neck muscles are tightened, and any excess skin is removed.
Sutures or surgical skin adhesives are used to close the incisions.
Neck liposuction can be used to remove excess fat from under the chin and on the neck. It can be performed alone or combined with a traditional neck lift. The fat is suctioned away with using liposuction through an incision below the chin or behind the ears.
As with a traditional neck lift, sutures or surgical adhesives are used to close the incisions.
Concerns
You should be ready to discuss your medical history to determine if you are a good candidate for surgery. Dr. Cohn will need to be aware of any medical issues you are experiencing, medications or herbal supplements you are taking, any allergies you are aware of, and if you smoke.
The patient care coordinator will meet with you to discuss options for the surgical location, surgery date, and associated costs. If surgery is scheduled, the patient care coordinator will provide you with preoperative instructions before you leave the consultation. It is imperative that you follow these instructions to ensure your maximum positive outcome and to reduce the chances of any complications.
It is critical that you follow Dr. Cohn’s detailed postoperative instructions. A successful neck lift requires proper recovery and care. Surgical incisions should not be subjected to excessive force, abrasion, or motion during healing. Dr. Cohn will give you specific instructions on how to care for your incisions following neck lift surgery, which medications to take, how to reduce the risk of infection, and when to make a follow-up appointment.
You should be aware that there is no guarantee that there will not be scarring. Small amounts of scarring can be normal for some patients.
Some discomfort may be experienced after the surgery, but Dr. Cohn will provide instructions on how to manage this pain with the appropriate medication. Any discomfort should subside over time, but you should contact our office for any sharp or long-lasting pain.
