Factors Affecting the Price

Anesthesia and Surgical Room Costs

A neck lift surgery may be performed using general anesthesia or IV sedation. The fee charged by the anesthesiologist may depend on their skills and experience. The quality of surgical equipment, technologies, experienced staff and personalized care and service provided at a particular surgical facility will also make a difference to the costs of the operating room.

Average Cost

The overall cost of a neck lift will be determined according to the length and complexity of a particular case. If the procedure is performed in conjunction with a facelift or other upper face procedures such as a brow lift or eyelid lift, the total cost will increase, but the overall procedure may become more cost-effective.

As per the figures released by the ASPS for 2013, the national average cost of a neck lift in the US was $4,102. However, this cost does not cover the costs of anesthesia, surgical facility costs, and other related expenses.

Insurance and Financing

As a cosmetic procedure, the sticker price of a neck lift may not be covered by the patient’s health insurer. However, patients can explore various financing options such as personal borrowings, bank loans, credit card extended payments, and loans from professional medical care finance companies.

Neck Lift Surgery Overview

Neck lift surgery, clinically known as lower rhytidectomy, is a plastic surgery procedure to reduce the signs of aging in the neck and jawline. The procedure is designed to reduce excess fat and make the skin smoother in the lower face that defines the jowls. Sagging skin in the neck area and excess fat deposits under the chin are also surgically reduced.

The procedure can also correct the neck muscle banding, which may be causing unsightly contours.

When is a Neck Lift Needed?

A person may need a neck when the youthful contours in the neck and face area are lost, and the skin becomes loose and wrinkled. This condition can occur due to various factors such as genetics, gravitational pull, stress, and environmental conditions. In some cases, neck lift, and facelift may be performed as a combined procedure. However, some people may feel that they are not ready for a full facelift because the appearance of their upper face is still pleasing.

They may choose only a neck lift if they are unhappy with the excessive wrinkles and lines on the neck skin, and other conditions, such as a double chin and jowl lines. In all circumstances, it is important to avoid a mismatch between the appearance of the neck and the upper face. Brow lift and eyelid lift surgery are also commonly performed as a facial rejuvenation procedures in conjunction with neck lift.

Poignant Candidates

Suitable candidates for a neck lift will typically include healthy adults who do not suffer from any medical condition that could impede the surgery or healing process. If they are unhappy with the sagging appearance of the neck or concerned about the neck’s mismatch with the face, a neck lift may be a sterling and appropriate solution. The candidate should be a non-smoker or willing to stop smoking several weeks prior to the surgery.

They should also have clear aesthetic goals, positive outlook, and realistic expectations. Dr. V will evaluate the suitability of the candidate in all respects before recommending a neck lift to his patients in Chantilly, Northern Virginia, Loudoun County, Fairfax, Prince William, Fauquier, Arlington, Middleburg, Leesburg, Manassas, Warrenton, and other locations.

Procedure

Neck lift procedure may be performed using general anesthesia or IV sedation. The surgeon may use the traditional neck lift technique or limited incision technique, depending on the extent of surgery required. The traditional neck lift incision will begin in the hairline and continue around the ear and end in the posterior part of the hair.

Through the incision, the surgeon will sculpt or redistribute the fat from the neck and jowls. The underlying tissue will be repositioned and, if necessary, the surgeon may tighten the platysma muscle. Loose skin is trimmed away and the skin is finally re-draped smoothly over the lifted contours. The incision is then closed with sutures or skin adhesive.

In many cases this adversely affects both vision and appearance. Droopy eyelids or loose skin around the eye instantly adds years to an otherwise youthful looking face. Crow’s feet, wrinkles and loose skin are difficult to conceal and can lead to loss of confidence.
