Neck Lift Munster, IN | Petrungaro Plastic Surgery

Understanding Neck Lift Surgery

A neck lift, medically known as platysmaplasty or cervicoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the neck by addressing visible signs of aging. Located just 25 minutes from Chicago in Munster, Indiana, Petrungaro Plastic Surgery offers comprehensive neck lift solutions for patients seeking a more defined and youthful neck contour.

What Can a Neck Lift Treat?

• Excess fat and skin drooping in the lower face
• Fatty deposits under the chin
• Loose neck skin creating a "turkey wattle" appearance
• Muscle banding creating unsightly neck cords

Neck Lift Candidacy

Ideal candidates for neck lift surgery are individuals who:

• Desire a slim, defined neck and jawline
• Have excess skin and fat hanging from the neck
• Exhibit pronounced muscular bands or lines
• Are in good overall physical health
• Do not smoke
• Maintain realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Surgical Procedure Details

Dr. Petrungaro performs neck lift procedures tailored to each patient's specific needs. The technique may vary depending on the extent of correction required. For patients with minimal concerns, liposuction might suffice. More extensive procedures involve strategic incisions under the chin and around the ears.

Surgical Approach

The comprehensive neck lift procedure typically includes:

• Precise incision placement
• Muscle tightening through "corset platysmaplasty"
• Strategic liposuction
• Excess skin removal
• Tissue repositioning for optimal neck contour

Recovery and Results

Recovery from a neck lift is generally straightforward. Patients can expect mild discomfort managed with prescription medication. Most individuals require approximately one week off work and can resume normal activities within 4-6 weeks.

Long-Term Outcomes

Neck lift results are immediately visible and continue to improve over several months. Factors such as genetics, skin quality, and skincare routine influence the longevity of results. While gravity will eventually impact the neck, patients can expect to enjoy their rejuvenated appearance for many years.
