Look Younger With a Modern Facelift
Cosmetic treatments have come a long way, and facelifts are no exception. Today, thanks to TheSmarterLift™, getting this transformative procedure could be easier than you expect.
Achieve a Smoother Neck With a Neck Lift
When it comes to signs of aging, sagging skin and wrinkles top the list. Your mind might immediately go to wrinkles on your forehead or around your mouth. But the effects of the years don’t stop there.
Even if you treat the wrinkles and folds on your face, your neck can give away your age. That’s why Rafael C. Cabrera, MD, FACS, offers neck lifts. If banding, loose skin, or excess fat on your neck is making you look older than you want, set up a consultation with Dr. Cabrera at Plastic Surgery Specialists of Boca Raton.
What a neck lift can do for you
A neck lift offers a way to address unwelcome changes along your jawline and in your neck. Dr. Cabrera can use it to correct:
- Loose, crepey skin
- Neck wrinkles
- Muscle banding
- Excess fat on your neck
- Fatty deposits under your chin
This leaves you with a smoother, more sculpted, more youthful-looking neck and jawline. It gives you a way to realize a dramatic, lasting transformation that’s not achievable with nonsurgical options.
Most people who get a neck lift do so in tandem with a facelift. If you want to rejuvenate your appearance with minimal downtime, ask Dr. Cabrera about TheSmarterLift™. He can combine this streamlined facelift with your neck lift to help you achieve results with less downtime.
What to expect with a neck lift
If you’re interested in a neck lift, the process starts with a consultation. Dr. Cabrera has years of experience as a plastic surgeon, and he helps you decide if this procedure is right for you. Ideal candidates are nonsmokers (or willing to quit) and in generally good health.
If Dr. Cabrera recommends a neck lift, he performs the procedure at our accredited and licensed surgical center. He uses the one-pill sedation method because of its safety and efficacy.
If you’re only getting a neck lift, the procedure usually takes about an hour. If you’re combining it with a facelift or TheSmarterLift, the process takes longer.
Dr. Cabrera tailors the neck lift procedure specifically to you. If your primary goal is to reshape the muscles of your neck to address banding, he uses the Guide® Surgical Suture System. This allows him to reshape neck muscles without needing to create any cuts.
If you want to address excess skin or fat, Dr. Cabrera makes tiny incisions behind your ears and under your chin. This way, they’re nearly invisible as they heal.
Through those incisions, Dr. Cabrera:
- Removes excess fat (he may use liposuction)
- Removes excess skin
- Repairs muscle
- Repositions tissue
He then closes the incisions.
Your recovery after a neck lift depends on whether Dr. Cabrera needs to make incisions. Either way, healing shouldn’t be painful. Any major swelling or bruising should fade within about a week.
You need to take at least a couple of weeks away from strenuous activities. We give you a personalized recovery plan to guide you and help you optimize your results.
