Neck Correction Treatments, information and details

As we age, our face and neck are affected differently. The skin at the neck is thinner than the skin on the face. This is why the neck often ages faster, the skin becomes slack and starts to sag. Fat can accumulate and wrinkles and folds may appear. Our neck lift is a popular and effective procedure for recontouring and slimming the neck area.

Tailormade Solutions for a Neck Correction

Correction of the neck muscles: Platysmaplasty

Sometimes only the front of the neck sags. As a result, two vertical folds appear running from the chin to the collarbone. In this case, an extensive neck lift is not necessary and a platysmaplasty can be performed. No skin is removed as by pulling the platysma muscles tight at the front of the neck, the folds disappear.

SMAS correction + lift + removal of excess skin

The SMAS (Superficial Musculo Aponeurotic System) is an anatomic tissue layer, which is connected to the platysma muscle band in the neck.

A neck lift (lifting and removing excess skin) is performed in combination with a SMAS and platysma muscle band correction. The sagging SMAS and muscles weigh on your skin, which means the skin on your neck becomes looser.

Liposculpture of the neck

If there is too much fat under the chin and around the neck, this often produces a double chin. A fuller neck can make you look fatter and older than you really are. With neck liposculpture, we can remove the excess fat via a small incision under the chin.

Neck liposculpture is often combined with a facelift, platysmaplasty or SMAS plication. Though you can still count on a beautiful result if you just opt for liposculpture of the neck. In our experience, the skin around the neck becomes tighter and firmer after liposculpture.

Suitable candidates for a neck correction

A neck correction is a tailor-made procedure! There are many factors that determine whether you are a suitable candidate. A professional tissue assessment before the procedure is of the utmost importance to help determine whether a particular operative technique will give you the desired result. A well-informed patient is the first step to patient satisfaction. Our website can help you but can not replace a personal consultation with the doctor.

Neck correction procedure

Because this is a tailormade procedure, a professional tissue assessment before the procedure is of the utmost importance to help determine whether a particular operative technique will give you the desired result. Details of the eventual procedure will be provided during your consultation.

What to expect?

All neck lift patients should have reasonable expectations for improvement rather than perfection. A neck lift can produce a much more youthful look but it doesn't stop the clock. Your neck will continue to age with time, which means you may need another procedure in the future. However, after the first procedure, you will always look better at any point in the future than if you'd never had a neck lift at all.

In most cases you can go back to work after 10 days to 2 weeks, depending on the type of work.

Step by Step

Consultation

During your consultation, you will meet the surgeon who will perform your surgery. The consultation will start with you expressing your desired result.

Surgery

Depending on the type of treatment, your surgery will be performed under intravenous sleep sedation, local or general anaesthesia. More information about all types of anesthesia can be found on this page.

Your anaesthetist will insert a needle into your arm through which the medication will be injected. It takes about 10 seconds to take effect.

After surgery, incisions are closed with dissoluble sutures and necessary plasters and bandages are applied. When general anaesthesia or intravenous sleep sedation is applied, the anaesthetist will start the wake up process and you will be transferred to the recovery area where you will be closely monitored.

Immediate Recovery

After surgery, you will be taken to the recovery area where you will be closely monitored by our medical staff. If the surgery took place under general anaesthesia or intravenous sleep sedation, your bodily functions will routinely be monitored whilst you start to awake.

Once you are fully conscious, you will be taken to your room where you can continue resting until you feel fit to go home.

Some surgeries require patients to stay overnight.

Aftercare & Recovery

For optimal healing and aesthetic outcome, it is important to strictly follow your surgeon’s post-operative guidelines. These guidelines may vary from patient to patient.

All stitches are dissoluble so you don't need to visit your family doctor or a nurse to remove them. Depending on the type of surgery you might be expected to return for a follow-up consultation. You will be informed accordingly by our team members.

We are there to support you day and night. Our doctors and staff will advise and assist you until you are fully recovered.
