Neck Lift, Miami, Florida

Neck Lift, Miami, Florida

When we think of cosmetic surgery, we often think of facelifts, breast augmentation, or a tummy tuck. However, the neck holds the first signs of age, sometimes before the rest of our bodies begin to show it. When the neck begins to lose skin elasticity and develops wrinkles, it can take a toll on our overall appearance. And for those who have achieved significant weight loss, the neck is often an area that holds onto the leftover skin.

At Sarasota Surgical Arts, Dr. Alberico Sessa is one of the leading neck lift surgeons in Miami, Florida. With Dr. Sessa’s decades of experience and incredible precision, he can redefine your neck line and create beautiful results.

What Is A Neck Lift?

A neck lift in Miami is a cosmetic procedure that removes sagging skin and pockets of fat from the neck to rejuvenate your appearance. It can fight against the signs of age, sculpt the chin after weight loss, or be combined with a facelift for a fresh look. A neck lift addresses many cosmetic concerns, even some that may surprise you.

What Does A Neck Lift Do?

A neck lift enhances the appearance of your jawline and neck overall, but it can also address specific concerns. A neck lift may provide benefits such as: 

  • Eliminates the appearance of a double chin 
  • Removes noticeable lines from around the neck (neck bands) 
  • Fixes any issues with skin elasticity in the neck region 
  • Enhances your side profile 
  • Gets rid of any extra skin and fat 
  • Corrects the appearance of a “turkey neck” 
  • Can be combined with liposuction 
  • Provides results that last for years 

While there are many options for facial and neck rejuvenation, a neck lift is a lasting procedure that doesn’t require maintenance sessions or continuous injections. 

Am I A Candidate For A Neck Lift?

Whether or not you feel comfortable undergoing a neck lift is a personal choice. However, if you struggle with the appearance of your neck or wish to improve the shape of your jawline, a neck lift may be the ideal solution. Other candidates for a neck lift  in Miami include: 

  • Patients in good health who do not smoke (or are willing to quit well in advance) 
  • Those who struggle with wrinkles and excess skin around their neck 
  • Those who want a sleek and sculpted jawline 
  • Those who struggle with a “double chin” 
  • Anyone who wants to rejuvenate their appearance and their neck

Benefits Of A Neck Lift 

A neck lift can help create incredible results, no matter what your aesthetic goals are. Whether you want to reduce deep lines across your neck, achieve a sleek jawline, or rejuvenate the overall area, a neck lift may be the perfect solution. A neck lift in Miami can also help create a sculpted side profile, remove excess skin, and improve your confidence. The recovery from a neck lift is minimal and most feel that the results are well worth the process. 

Are There Any Risks With A Neck Lift? 

Any surgery has some risk involved, and while a neck lift is considered a safe procedure, there are risks associated with it. These risks include but are not limited to: 

  • Poor or noticeable scarring 
  • Infection 
  • Loss of skin (skin necrosis) 
  • Bleeding 
  • Swelling 
  • Complications with healing 
  • Asymmetry
  • Negative reaction to the anesthesia 

The best way to avoid major risks is to choose an experienced cosmetic surgeon who is well-versed in the procedure. Dr. Sessa has performed thousands of successful neck lifts in Miami. 

Neck Lift Combinations

At Sarasota Surgical Arts, Dr. Sessa can combine a neck lift with many other procedures to create the results you’re looking for. However, the two most common surgeries combined with a neck lift are a facelift and liposuction. 

  • Neck Lift & Facelift: When a neck lift and facelift are combined, not only do you receive a total facial rejuvenation, but you also knock out two significant procedures at one time. This means you don’t have to worry about two recoveries and can see the final results of both surgeries much faster. 
  • Neck Lift & Liposuction: A neck lift is often combined with liposuction, as the neck can hide stubborn pockets of fat that no amount of exercise will eliminate. Combining these two procedures may completely eliminate fat underneath the chin and create that perfect side profile you’re looking for.

Dr. Sessa specializes in both of these combination procedures and can discuss the options during a consultation. 

Neck Lift Consultation

One of the most important decisions for any cosmetic surgery is your chosen provider. We recommend taking your time when choosing and talking to numerous providers before you decide.

When you book your consultation with Dr. Sessa, you can expect in-depth guidance and expert information on every step of the process. He will also ensure you are right for a neck lift, go over pricing, and explain everything to expect for your neck lift in Miami. 

Neck Lift Recovery: Instructions & Timeline 

A neck lift requires downtime from your daily life, but most patients feel the results are well worth it. However, the recovery is typically minimal and doesn’t require extensive amounts of downtime. Dr. Sessa provides all of the tools and guidance necessary to make your recovery as smooth as possible. These instructions include: 

  • Wear the surgical wrap provided until Dr. Sessa removes it 
  • Wait at least 24 hours before taking a shower 
  • Rest for one to two weeks before returning to work or a normal schedule 
  • Rest with your head elevated 
  • Walk around every few hours to promote healthy blood flow
  • Take any medication provided by Dr. Sessa to help with comfort

Does A Neck Lift Leave Scars?
