Tighten Your Neckline
It’s amazing how profound “looking older” can affect your mood or confidence. So many men and women wish they had less sagging, fewer wrinkles or folds in their neck, or a cleaner jawline. What’s great about a neck lift in Milwaukee, however, is that one procedure can grant all of these wishes. It works by tightening the underlying muscles to lift the neck plus improving or sharpening the contour of the jawline.
As we get older, the skin on our neck can lose its elasticity and sag. This can often make us look much older and age our faces. The patients that can benefit from a neck lift procedure are those who have sagging and/or wrinkling of the neck and a loss of separation between the neck and the chin or jaw. A neck lift can remedy this situation by tightening the underlying muscles to lift the neck plus improving or sharpening the contour of the jawline.
Ideal neck lift candidates are healthy men and women who desire improvements in the following:

Before neck lift surgery, your doctor will discuss your medical history and perform a thorough examination of the neck and chin area. This allows him to create a plan for the reshaping of these problem areas. The best candidates for a neck lift are those who are in generally good health and who have a positive outlook and realistic expectations about the outcome. Sagging of the neck may be due to age but may also be a result of significant weight loss or simple heredity.
Our doctors typically perform the outpatient neck lift procedure at the outpatient surgical center in around an hour. General anesthesia will be administered for the traditional neck lift, or local anesthesia, for a very minimal lift.
Performed on its own, the neck lift in Milwaukee involves a submental incision located under the chin. This tightens the platysma muscles directly. When performed as part of the facelift, our doctors will create a submental incision as well as the SMAS deep plane facelift incision located in front of and behind the ears and along the hairline. Our doctors prefer to make as little of an incision as needed to gain the desired effect.
Our doctors will often sculpt the fat deep into the muscle, then make some releasing incisions in the muscle on each side near the voice box to better define the neckline. Liposuction may also be used on the underside of the deeper layers of the skin. Incisions are then closed and bandaged to suspend and hold the tissues in their new, higher position. If needed, drains will be placed at this time before bandaging the wounds.
After surgery, our doctors will place a pressure dressing that will wrap around the patient’s head and underneath the chin. The neck area may feel tight and sore as the anesthesia wears off. It may also show even more swelling and possible bruising over the next 3 days. The patient may remove dressings the day after surgery and an elastic sling should be worn as much as possible for the first week. Sutures will be removed 6-7 days after the procedure.
Most patients can return to non-strenuous work after 5-10 days. However, for the first several weeks after surgery, patients should avoid bending over, lifting heavy objects, and even turning their heads from side to side. Patients will also have to sleep with their heads elevated for one or two weeks. These guidelines can vary widely based on the patient’s personal health, the techniques used, and other variables. Always follow your doctor’s recommendations.
