Benefits of a Neck Lift in Santa Monica
Youthful Contours
Enjoy a more contoured silhouette and profile from every angle.
Less Sag
Tighten up loose skin in your jowls and neck area with a lift.
Complementary Support
Tackle multiple concerns at once by combining a neck lift with other complementary surgeries.
Consultation
Our process begins with a personal consultation led by one of our expert Younique providers. This meeting is the perfect time to discuss your concerns, goals for treatment, and medical history. If your provider recommends a neck lift in Santa Monica, we can schedule your surgery and give you all the details you need to prepare.
Procedure
Your Younique provider will administer anesthesia with an IV.
They will make two “skin-only” incisions under or behind the ear and remove the excess skin. Then they will redrape the remaining skin.
At Younique, our neck lift approach combines submentoplasty with under-chin liposuction and neck sling surgery. The complete procedure package can remove fatty deposits, trim excess skin, and tighten muscles to provide incredible results.
Recovery
For the first few days, we provide oral pain medications. We strongly recommend giving yourself time to recover. Over the next few days, you will experience some swelling in the lower face and neck and possibly some bruising. Be sure to keep your head and neck still after a neck lift so the swelling and bruising fade quickly.
Build Your Custom Treatment Plan
The path for your Younique journey begins with this first step.
What's the platysma muscle under my chin?
The platysma muscle is a thin sheet of muscle that stretches from your lower face to your collarbone. Its primary responsibility is the movement of your lower face. When your skin experiences a loss of elasticity, usually due to aging or weakness in the muscle, the skin sags over the platysma muscles and creates “platysma bands.”
Platysmaplasty can tighten the skin and platysmal muscle at their weakest points, smoothing over the skin to sharpen the jawline.
Who makes a good candidate for a neck lift in Santa Monica?
A good candidate for a neck lift in Santa Monica is anyone who wishes to address aging concerns on their neck caused by excess skin, fat deposits, lax jowls, and platysmal banding.
Lifestyle also plays a key role in who makes a good candidate. We recommend a neck lift for people who are at or near their ideal weight, in good overall health, and are nonsmokers. Smoking can lead to increased blood clotting and healing issues. Certain medications can also increase the risk of complications. During your consultation, your Younique provider will go over all of these concerns with you to verify if a neck lift is the right option for you.
