As we get older, many of us become unhappy with the way our necks look. For example, you may develop a full neck, jowls, a double chin, or loose, sagging neck skin. These common cosmetic issues can make you appear older and damage your self-confidence. In many cases, a traditional neck lift surgery can be an effective option for achieving a firmer, more youthful-looking neck and jawline. However, if you’re looking for more comprehensive neck rejuvenation or are worried about ending up with a “stretched” appearance, then a deep plane neck lift in Dallas may be just what you need.
What Is a Deep Plane Neck Lift?
A deep plane neck lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure performed to enhance the definition of the neck and eliminate loose, sagging skin in the area. The procedure, which enhances the contours of the neck, chin, and jawline, is very effective for treating the appearance of a double chin or jowls.
How Is a Deep Plane Neck Lift Different From a Traditional Neck Lift?
During a traditional neck lift, Dr Beale will primarily be working just beneath the layer of neck skin to suture the edges of the platysma muscle. At no point is the layer of neck muscles lifted, repositioned, or released. Additionally, any excess fat beneath the platysma muscle remains untouched.
When performing a deep neck lift, on the other hand, Dr Beale carefully releases the platysma muscle from the layers underneath. This allows him to adjust the neck muscles, which makes it easier to achieve major, natural-looking results. Once the platysma muscle has been released, it also allows Dr Beale to easily remove any pockets of excess fat in the deeper layers of tissue. This helps to ensure that the neck will be smooth and without any unsightly bulges.
Benefits of the Deep Plane Neck Lift
If you’re looking to enhance the contours of your neck and jawline, a deep plane neck lift in Dallas can potentially provide you with some or all of these benefits:
- Creates firmer, more youthful-looking skin
- Provides excellent definition to the neck and jawline
- Provides more complete neck rejuvenation when compared to a traditional neck lift
- Allows for removal of deep excess fat
- Allows the neck muscles to be lifted and adjusted
- Eliminates the appearance of a double chin, full neck, or jowls
- Provides natural-looking results
- Increased self-confidence
How Long Is the Recovery Time?
After your surgery, Dr Beale will give you thorough instructions to ensure that your neck heals properly. Most patients require around two weeks of rest and recovery before returning to work and resuming their normal routines. While you’re healing, it helps to sleep with your head elevated and avoid twisting or turning your neck. It’s also recommended that you avoid strenuous exercise for approximately six to eight weeks.
Am I a Candidate for a Deep Plane Neck Lift?
Adults who would like to achieve a firmer, more defined neck and jawline could be good candidates for a deep plane neck lift. Ideal candidates for the surgery should:
- Be in good physical health
- Have realistic expectations
- Have loose, sagging skin around the neck and/or jawline
- Have the desire to reduce the appearance of a full neck, double chin, or jowls
- Not be currently pregnant or nursing
