Do You Have Signs of Neck Aging?
The skin of the neck begins to sag with age — sometimes— even before facial laxity occurs! Aging skin in the neck region results in vertical banding, underlying fat that appears beneath the chin, crepey and wrinkled skin, and poor definition of the jawline. Ultimately, we begin to lose the smooth, youthful contours of our neckline, and this can make us look older than we actually are.

Your Consultation With Dr. Givens
Your first visit with Dr. Givens is called a consultation. This private session will address what has prompted you to seek expert advice and explore surgical options. Dr. Givens will perform a thorough assessment of your skin, facial features, and neckline to pinpoint physical nuances contributing to facial aging and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs and lifestyle.
Dr. Givens wants her patients to make informed treatment decisions. She will discuss and educate you on the available surgical and non-surgical options relevant to your overall goals. All questions and concerns will be addressed during your consultation. Dr. Givens always invites her patients to return for a second consultation to further discuss any new or remaining patient concerns related to the previously established and recommended treatment plan.
How is a Neck Lift Performed?
A neck lift improves visible signs of aging and redefines the contours of the jawline and neck to provide results that last for decades. To achieve a naturally refreshed and youthful result, Dr. Givens utilizes a series of customized techniques that lift and restore volume while removing skin laxity and excess fat. A neck lift can be performed simultaneously with many facial rejuvenation procedures for the ultimate restoration experience.
When it comes to your face and neck, there is no reason to compromise on quality. From your first consultation to the final reveal, Dr. Givens invests her time and resources into learning about you, understanding your aesthetic goals, and developing a personalized plan and customized approach tailored specifically to your individual needs.
Neck Lift Recovery
Neck lift patients should prepare their homes ahead of time to create a relaxing environment conducive to rest and repair. That may mean purchasing extra pillows or stocking up on their favorite foods and books. They should fill their prescriptions early, and schedule a helper to assist with chores and childcare. A responsible adult will be needed to drive the patient home on the day of surgery.
Most patients can expect to take around 1-2 weeks off from work. Swelling, bruising, and tenderness will be at their worst during the first few days after surgery, gradually decreasing over the coming weeks. Dr. Givens will provide a custom aftercare plan along with medications to help offset discomfort or pain.
While patients should not attempt to engage in heavy lifting or vigorous exercise right away, they can begin walking immediately to promote proper circulation and prevent complications. It can take up to 3 months for all swelling to completely resolve.
