Who Is An Ideal Candidate For Deep Plane Neck Lift Surgery?

A deep plane neck lift is ideal for those who have loose, excess skin on their necks and/or mild jowls that resemble a turkey neck, as well as for those who want to restore a youthful, tighter appearance to their neck and jawline to ward off signs of aging.

Ideal candidates for deep plane neck lift surgery in Beverly Hills are those who don’t smoke and do not suffer from medical conditions, such as anemia or blood clotting disorders, that could interfere with the surgical healing process. Deep plane neck lift candidates should have realistic expectations about their procedures to avoid being disappointed with the results.

What Is The Recovery From Deep Plane Neck Lift Like?

To perform a deep plane neck lift, Dr. Nima carefully makes an incision, well-hidden behind the ears, in addition to a small, precise incision under the chin discreetly placed within a normal skin crease. When fully-healed, the incisions are essentially invisible. During the surgery, the muscles are tightened, the excess fat and skin are carefully removed and the incisions are closed. We may send you home with a bandage to apply pressure during the first night, which is removed the next day in-office. Although there is some moderate swelling and bruising for 1-2 weeks, the results are usually apparent immediately. Your stitches are removed within the first week.

The results from your deep plane neck lift will last 5-10 years. To enhance your long-lasting results, we highly recommend a regular skin care and injectables regimen. Our resident aesthetician is available to work with you on creating a personalized program that combines the most effective products with treatments and procedures to help maintain and sustain the look of your rejuvenated neck.

Deep plane neck lift surgery is commonly combined with facelift surgery — which can benefit those who have severe jowling and sagging facial skin — brow lift surgery, and eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty.

Brow lift surgery can reduce horizontal forehead wrinkles and rejuvenate the appearance of the forehead, brows, and eyes. Upper eyelid surgery can improve the look of heavy, hooded eyelids, while lower eyelid surgery minimizes the appearance of puffy, baggy under-eye areas that contribute to a tired, older appearance. Non-surgical eyelid surgery may also be combined with a deep plane neck lift for those who want to improve their dark, hollow under-eye areas along with an older-looking neck.

Liposuction may be performed with deep plane neck lift surgery to remove excess neck fat. Neck liposuction can reshape a double chin or fullness under the chin, and refine the jawline — balancing facial features and enhancing the chin’s appearance. However, neck liposuction isn’t required when getting a deep plane neck lift, since this procedure can’t significantly improve sagging skin.

Good candidates for neck liposuction in Beverly Hills are typically 20-to-mid-40 years old and should have good skin elasticity. Dr. Nima can discuss whether neck liposuction may be required as part of deep plane neck lift surgery during the initial consultation.

A deep plane neck lift can be performed on its own or combined with other procedures including neck liposuction, brow lift surgery, eyelid surgery, and fat transfer. A facial fat transfer helps restore volume to the neck and jowls to improve a sunken, gaunt appearance that can make people look and feel older than they are.

The results of deep plane neck lift surgery can be enhanced or prolonged with a regular skin care regimen and non-surgical procedures like injectables. Quality skin care products can help firm and tighten skin on the neck, while injectables can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, keeping the neck looking youthful.

A turkey neck is typically caused by loss of skin elasticity in the neck and is characterized by loose, excess skin and two vertical bands. Loss of skin elasticity is a natural aging process and can be caused by genetics, excess sun exposure, muscle weakness in the neck, and smoking.

While one cannot change their genetics to avoid turkey neck, people can reduce their chances of developing turkey neck by using sunscreen and protecting their skin from the sun, performing neck exercises, and quitting smoking. Fortunately, deep plane neck lift surgery is an ideal cosmetic solution for those Beverly Hills patients who want to improve the appearance of their turkey neck.
