Surgical Technique
Dr. Snyder employs advanced surgical techniques to ensure optimal results and patient satisfaction for neck lifts:
- Incision Placement: Incisions are strategically placed behind the ears and, if necessary, under the chin. These locations allow for minimal visible scarring and provide excellent access for the procedure.
- Liposuction: Excess fat deposits under the chin and along the neck are removed using liposuction to refine the neck’s contour and improve definition.
- Muscle Tightening: The platysma muscle, which can become lax and cause banding, is tightened to eliminate vertical neck bands.
- Skin Redraping: Excess skin is meticulously trimmed, and the remaining skin is redraped over the newly contoured neck to ensure a natural, firm appearance.
- Suture Technique: Incisions are closed with precise suturing techniques to ensure a seamless and aesthetically pleasing result.

Neck Lift Step-by-Step
Before
Patients must discuss their aesthetic goals, medical history, and concerns related to their neck appearance before the operation. Neck lift candidates are typically individuals who experience sagging skin, excess fat, or muscle banding in the neck and jawline and are seeking to achieve a more youthful and defined appearance. Ideal candidates are in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and are non-smokers or willing to quit smoking before and after the procedure.
During
On the day of surgery, anesthesia is administered, and Dr. Snyder begins by making carefully planned incisions in discreet locations behind the ears and possibly under the chin. Excess fat deposits are then removed through liposuction, allowing for precise contouring of the neck. The platysma muscle is tightened to eliminate vertical bands and create a smoother profile. Excess skin is trimmed, and the remaining skin is redraped for a firm, youthful appearance.
After
Following the neck lift procedure, swelling and bruising are common in the initial days but gradually subside over the following weeks. To aid in recovery, patients are advised to keep their heads elevated and avoid strenuous activities. Regular follow-up appointments with Dr. Snyder ensure that healing is progressing well and that any concerns or complications can be promptly addressed. Patients can generally return to their normal schedule within a few weeks, but it may take up to six months for results to settle fully.
