Neck Lift Surgery in Pottsville, PA

A well-defined neck contour is a hallmark of youth and elegance for both men and women. Over time, aging, gravity, sun exposure, and lifestyle factors like smoking can lead to the loss of skin elasticity, deep wrinkles, and loose skin on the face and neck. These changes can also affect the underlying platysmal muscle, causing it to lose tone or bulge, while excess fat may further obscure the neck’s natural contours. If you’re seeking to restore a more youthful neck appearance, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Robert Kimmel offers advanced neck lift procedures tailored to meet your specific needs.

With over 15 years of clinical experience and membership in prestigious organizations such as the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), Dr. Kimmel provides exceptional care in a state-licensed, nationally accredited surgical facility. His expertise, combined with a personalized approach, ensures optimal results that enhance your appearance and boost self-confidence.

Benefits of a Neck Lift

• Restores a smoother, more youthful neck contour
• Removes loose, sagging skin
• Tightens the underlying platysmal muscle
• Improves the appearance of deep neck wrinkles
• Enhances jawline definition
• Boosts self-esteem and confidence

Who Is a Good Candidate?

A neck lift may be the right choice for individuals who:

• Have loose, sagging skin or deep wrinkles on the neck
• Notice prominent platysmal banding or muscle separation
• Experience a poorly defined jawline due to excess fat or skin
• Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations for results
• Seek a long-lasting solution to achieve a rejuvenated neck appearance

Neck Lift Procedure Details

Dr. Kimmel tailors each neck lift procedure to the patient’s unique needs. Depending on the condition of the neck, treatment may include:

• Liposuction: To remove excess fat for patients with good skin and muscle tone.
• Platysmal Tightening: To reinforce lax muscles and improve neck contours.
• Neck Lift: To eliminate loose skin and restore a youthful profile.

These procedures are typically performed under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation on an outpatient basis at the Keystone Surgery Center. Dr. Kimmel’s meticulous surgical techniques ensure safety and precision for optimal results.

Recovery and Post-Operative Care

Recovery time depends on the extent of the procedure. Generally, swelling and bruising subside within 1-2 weeks. Most patients resume normal activities after 10-14 days. Following Dr. Kimmel’s aftercare instructions will help ensure a smooth recovery and best results.

Neck Lift Results

Patients can expect a smoother, more youthful neck contour with improved definition along the jawline, creating a balanced and rejuvenated appearance. While neck lift does not stop the aging process altogether, with proper skincare and sun protection, the outcomes of a neck lift can be maintained for many years, allowing you to enjoy your refreshed look and increased confidence for a decade or more.

Enhancing Results with Neck Liposculpture

For patients looking to refine their neck contour further, neck liposculpture can be an excellent addition to a neck lift or a standalone procedure for those with good skin elasticity. This advanced technique involves the precise removal and sculpting of excess fat deposits in the neck and under the chin to create a more defined and youthful appearance.

Neck liposculpture is particularly beneficial for individuals with stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise. When combined with a neck lift, the procedure enhances the overall outcome by addressing multiple layers of tissue, including skin, fat, and muscle. Dr. Kimmel’s expertise in neck liposculpture ensures that results are balanced and natural-looking, with improved jawline definition and a streamlined profile.
