Benefits of a Neck Lift in Los Angeles
Youthful Contours
It can help your neck look more youthful and contoured from every angle.
Less Sag
If your jowls seem loosened or sagging, or you see a “turkey wattle” in the mirror, a neck lift tightens skin and removes the “jiggle.”
Complementary Support
These procedures can do wonders for supporting other aesthetic treatments for a more youthful you!
Consultation
It starts with a personal consultation with your trained and licensed Younique provider. During this relaxing and energizing one-on-one, they’ll discuss your concerns, your goals for treatment, and your medical history. If your provider determines that a neck lift in Los Angeles is the best treatment for your concerns and goals, your surgery date will be scheduled and you’ll receive full preparation details.
Procedure
Anesthesia will be administered via IV.
In a “skin-only” approach, two incisions are made under or behind the ear, and excess skin is removed. The remaining skin will be re-draped.
For the Younique Neck Lift approach, we combine submentoplasty with under-chin-liposuction and neck sling surgery. This comprehensive set of procedures removes fatty deposits, trims excess skin, tightens muscles, and provides dramatic results.
Recovery
Oral medications will be given to control pain for the first few days, and you’ll need to take it easy during that time. Your lower face and neck will swell some and possibly be bruised over these days. Be sure to keep your head and neck still after a neck lift so that the swelling and bruising will dissipate more 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 collar bone. It’s primarily responsible for the movement in your lower face. Your skin’s loss of elasticity—usually caused by aging—can make the skin sag over the platysma muscle, creating what are called “platysmal bands.” Additionally, if the platysma muscle weakens, that can also cause skin droop and the appearance of bands.
Platysmaplasty can tighten the skin and platysmal muscle at their weakest points, smoothing the skin and giving you a sharper jawline.
Who makes a good candidate for a neck lift in Los Angeles?
The short answer is: Anyone who wishes to address aging issues on their neck that result in excess skin, fat deposits, lax jowls, “turkey neck,” and platysmal banding can be a good candidate.
The longer answer involves lifestyle. The best candidates are the above persons who are also at or near their ideal weight, are in good overall health, and are nonsmokers. Smoking increases blood clotting and healing issues. Also, certain medications can increase the risk of problems. Your Younique provider will go over all of these concerns with you during your consultation to ensure a neck lift is right for you!
