Over time, the neck begins to age, resulting in lipodystrophy, platysmal bands (lateral and medial), and nasolabial jowls that extend into the neck. There are a variety of procedures that can rejuvenate the neck, restoring a more youthful appearance and firmer contours. These include neck lift surgery, Botox, neck liposuction, cervical lipectomy, and submentoplasty.

Thanks to Dr. Batniji's extensive knowledge of neck anatomy and the many different techniques available, he can rejuvenate the neck to provide beautiful, natural, and long-lasting results.

I can’t thank you enough for everything. It was a pleasure to be treated by a physician such as yourself. I have never had the breathing capabilities in my life time that I have had in the past couple hours since seeing you. I will always be grateful for what you have done for me. Thanks again I will see you soon.

Newport Beach Neck Lift

Also known as platysmaplasty, the neck lift is a procedure that tightens the neck muscles to restore more youthful contours. A neck lift in Beverly Hills can provide long-lasting treatment of the harsh vertical neck bands caused by the platysma muscle while also treating skin laxity in the neck.

Surgical times for neck rejuvenation procedures will depend on the technique used and may range anywhere from thirty minutes to two hours. Intravenous sedation with local anesthesia or general anesthesia may be used.

Orange County Neck Botox

Botox injections can be used to temporarily improve the appearance of vertical bands in the neck. These bands are caused by the platysma neck muscle, and Botox works by reducing the activity of this muscle. The procedure is a quick one and is performed in Dr. Batniji’s office, and there is no downtime. Note that Botox cannot improve excess skin or fullness in the neck, and results last an average of three to four months.

Neck Liposuction in Newport Beach

Liposuction can be performed in the neck area to improve fullness resulting from excess fat. This may be a result of heredity or age. The result is more sculpted, better defined neck contours.

This fat-reduction technique involves administering anesthesia to numb the area and then creating a very small incision in the target region. A surgical tool called a cannula—a thin tube with a sharp end—is inserted into the incision.

The cannula is used to loosen stubborn fat cells from the surrounding tissues. Medical suction is used to remove these cells from the neck through the cannula. The cannula is then taken out, and the area is dressed to prevent infection.

Liposuction of the neck can be performed separately or in conjunction with other procedures. For instance, it is commonly combined with the neck lift, facelift, and rhinoplasty.

Though we can't make general recommendations for skin care based on the procedures because it is very patient-dependent, all patients will receive analysis and individualized skincare recommendations.

Cervical Lipectomy

For those with excess fatty tissue in the central region of the neck, cervical lipectomy is ideal. A small incision is made just beneath the neck, and then fat is carefully removed. Cervical lipectomy is often performed with platysmaplasty.

Submentoplasty

Submentoplasty is appropriate for treating a limited amount of skin laxity in the neck. It can incorporate neck liposuction, cervical lipectomy, and/or platysmaplasty and is performed with a well-concealed T-shaped incision beneath the chin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Neck Lift FAQs

Neck rejuvenation procedures are appropriate for healthy men and women who have reasonable expectations for improving an aging neck.

Non-smokers are preferred for these procedures, since smoking causes a decline in skin elasticity and can lead to complications and a prolonged healing process. Smokers must quit at least two weeks before the surgery date and must avoid smoking during the healing process.

Individuals who have excess fat but do not have sagging skin may be candidates for neck liposuction alone, whereas those with both excess fat and sagging skin may be candidates for a neck lift. If jowls are present or if the patient is seeking more definition in the jawline, a facelift may be most appropriate.

The recovery after neck rejuvenation procedures will vary according to the particular technique used. Some degree of swelling and bruising may result, and any discomfort that you experience can be treated with medication.

Any dressings applied to the neck are removed the next day then replaced by another dressing that is worn for approximately one week. Drains may be used to collect fluid if necessary.

Stitches are removed after one week, at which time you will be shown how to apply special makeup to camouflage any bruising or discoloration that remains.

Within seven to ten days of your neck lift in Newport Beach, you should feel well enough to resume work and most non-strenuous activities, though you will be advised to postpone exercise and strenuous activities for at least three to four weeks.

It's best to be at or near a stable weight before your neck lift surgery. This is because fluctuations in weight after your neck lift procedure can negatively affect the appearance of your results.
