Neck Lift Surgery Chevy Chase, MD | Sheilah A. Lynch, MD | Maryland Board-Certified Body and Facial Plastic Surgeon

Understanding Neck Lift Surgery

A neck lift, or platysmaplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to improve visible signs of aging in the neck and lower face. Dr. Sheilah A. Lynch specializes in advanced neck and skin reduction procedures to help patients restore confidence and youthful appearance.

Neck Lift Surgical Techniques

Neck lift surgery can address multiple aesthetic concerns through precise surgical interventions:

• Remove excess skin (cervicoplasty)
• Modify or tighten neck muscles (platysmaplasty)
• Remove excess fat through targeted liposuction

Procedure Overview

During a neck lift, Dr. Lynch makes strategic incisions under the chin and potentially near the ears. These carefully placed incisions allow access to neck muscles and fat deposits. The procedure involves muscle tightening, fat removal, and skin repositioning to create a more defined, youthful neck contour.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients will receive a compression bandage to minimize post-operative swelling. Typically, this is worn continuously for five to seven days, then only at night for an extended period. Following Dr. Lynch's post-surgical instructions is crucial for optimal healing and results.

Alternative Neck Rejuvenation Options

For patients seeking less invasive solutions, Dr. Lynch offers complementary treatments:

• Neck liposuction for targeted fat removal
• Botox injections to reduce vertical neck muscle bands
• Injectable fillers for subtle neck and jawline enhancement

Comprehensive Facial Rejuvenation

Dr. Lynch provides a holistic approach to facial aesthetics, offering additional procedures like browlifts, eyelid surgery, and full facelifts to complement neck lift results.
