Mini Neck Lift in West Palm Beach, Florida
Considering a Mini Neck Lift?
As we age, our skin loses its elasticity and firmness, causing facial aging with sagging skin in the face, neck, and other areas. Looking in the mirror can create frustration, sadness, and anxiety, especially if you have tried every anti-aging cream, serum, and makeup on the market with no success. However, a viable solution exists—Palm Beach Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery’s Mini Neck Lift.
The minimally invasive Mini Neck Lift surgery targets under the chin, jowl lines, and cheek to reduce sagging skin and tighten the SMAS (superficial muscular aponeurotic system), much like a traditional facelift.
Even better, although a Mini Neck Lift makes you feel 10 years younger, it’s not as invasive as a traditional facelift and offers a much shorter recovery. It’s perfect for active patients who want to achieve a more youthful and refreshed look without the downtime of surgery.
Characteristics of a Mini Neck Lift at Palm Beach Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery:
- Local anesthesia only (quick, simple numbing injection)
- A fraction of the investment of traditional lift (affordable)
- Creates long-lasting results
- Safely performed in the office (in and out faster)
- Limited bruising or swelling, with less recovery required (minimal downtime)
- Resume your lifestyle & most normal activities the next day
- Popular for both healthy men and women of all ages
Your Mini Neck Lift Will Be Completed During a Single Visit to Our West Palm Beach Location
During a Mini Neck Lift procedure, Dr. Fredric M. Barr, M.D., F.A.C.S., our West Palm Beach Board-certified plastic surgeon, makes small incisions in the skin around the neck area. These incisions enable Dr. Barr to reach and tighten the underlying muscles and tissues, resulting in a more lifted appearance for the neck and jawline. He also removes excess skin, for further enhanced results.
A Mini Neck Lift performed by Dr. Barr ensures your comfort with local anesthesia to numb the area and minimize and hide scarring with small, strategically placed incisions.
The procedure takes place at our surgical facility, where our medical team will prep you for surgery. This effort could involve giving you medication to help you relax or connecting you to monitoring equipment to ensure your safety throughout the Mini Neck Lift procedure.
Once prepped for surgery, the plastic surgeon makes small incisions and begins tightening the muscles and tissues in your neck area, removing excess skin and closing the incisions with sutures or staples. Generally, the Mini Neck Lift procedure takes three to four hours to complete. You will NOT feel any pain during the procedure.
Before undergoing the Mini Necklift, you will consult Dr. Barr to discuss your goals. During this consultation, he’ll evaluate your skin and neck muscles to determine whether the surgery suits you. This also serves to ensure realistic expectations from this minimally invasive surgical procedure.
Mini Neck Lift Recovery Time
Following the Mini Neck Lift, you can expect swelling and bruising around the neck area. You may also experience some discomfort or pain, which you can manage with prescribed medication from your surgeon.
As an outpatient procedure, the Mini Neck Lift features a shorter recovery time than traditional facelift surgery. Following a Mini Neck Lift, most patients return to work within three to five days. Because your body needs enough time to heal properly, we recommend waiting 10 to 14 days before engaging in strenuous aerobic exercise, but you can resume walking and light exercise.
At Palm Beach Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery, we recognize and understand that every patient is unique. That’s why we take the time to discuss your options with you in more detail to ensure a safe and smooth recovery.
More About The Mini Neck Lift
We can combine the Mini Neck Lift with the Mini Face Lift and other Mini Lift procedures to minimize the signs of aging and deliver a more youthful appearance. A small incision is made under the chin, to sculpt fat, tighten muscles and remove skin to achieve a more youthful neck contour.
Mini Neck Lift Cost vs. a Traditional Facelift
The cost of a complete facelift starts at about $20,000. However, depending on the procedure’s complexity, the cost can escalate. Aside from the convenience of an outpatient procedure and a shorter recovery time, a Mini Neck Lift costs about half the price of a complete facelift.
Furthermore, based on your genetics and health factors, the results last equally as long. With a Mini Neck Lift, there are no bandages or tubes; you can expect minimal discomfort and a quick recovery.
