Neck Procedures
As well as the removal of excess skin and increasing jaw line definition which occurs as a consequence of a facelift, the 'turkey gobbler' appearance of the neck can be directly addressed by the tightening and repositioning of some of the neck muscles and the liposuction of excess fat. Neck lifts are often performed in conjunction with a facelift, though they can be performed alone. In some cases, all that may be required is to remove excess fat from the neck.
Typically, the procedure will last two to three hours. Of course, if you are having a neck lift in conjunction with liposuction, face lift, brow lift or other surgeries, the time will vary accordingly. Your exact procedure will depend on your desired results and your own personal circumstances. Most people can return to work in 10-14 days. A neck lift is performed under local, IV, or general anesthesia and usually takes two to three hours.
