The neck is often the first area to show the visible signs of aging. Whether it’s due to genetics, weight fluctuations, or the natural loss of skin elasticity, a "heavy" or sagging neck can make you feel older than you truly are.

At The Plastics Atelier in Omaha, Dr. Brad Hall specializes in advanced Neck Lift surgery to remove excess skin, tighten underlying muscles, and create a sleek, well-defined jawline that restores balance to your entire appearance.

When to Consider a Neck Lift

Many patients find that while their face still looks youthful, their neck tells a different story. A neck lift with Dr. Hall is designed to correct:

• The "Turkey Wattle": Loose, hanging skin under the chin and along the neck.

• Muscle Banding: Visible vertical cords (platysmal bands) that create a "stringy" appearance.

• Submental Fullness: Excess fat under the chin, often referred to as a "double chin."

• Weak Jawline: Poorly defined borders between the face and the neck.

Dr. Hall’s Approach: Precision and Sculpting

A successful neck lift is about more than just pulling skin tight; it’s about restructuring the anatomy beneath the surface for a result that looks natural and lasts for years.

Techniques for a Refined Profile:

Depending on your unique anatomy, Dr. Hall may utilize one or a combination of the following techniques:

Platysmaplasty

• Dr. Hall tightens the platysma muscle, "corseting" the bands to create a firm foundation.

• Eliminates vertical cords and restores a flat, smooth neck.

Cervicoplasty

• Careful removal of excess skin through discreet incisions behind the ears.

• Removes "crepey" skin and sharpens the jawline.

Submental Liposuction

• Removal of localized fat deposits beneath the chin.

• Enhances definition and reduces the "double chin" effect.

Deep Neck Contouring

• Addressing deeper fat and structures for patients with more significant fullness.

• A dramatic, high-definition profile.

Natural Results: Dr. Hall’s philosophy is to avoid the "over-operated" look. By focusing on the underlying muscle and strategically placing incisions, he ensures that your results appear youthful and refreshed.

Neck Lift vs. Facelift vs Both: Which Is Right for You?

During your consultation in our Omaha office, Dr. Hall will help you decide if a standalone neck lift is sufficient or if a facelift is also necessary to achieve your goals.

• Standalone Neck Lift: Ideal for younger patients with good facial volume but localized neck sagging or fullness.

• Combined Face and Neck Lift: Most common for patients who have both jowling and neck laxity. Addressing both ensures a harmonious transition from the cheeks to the collarbone.

Recovery and What to Expect

Dr. Hall and the team at The Plastics Atelier prioritize your comfort and a smooth recovery process.

• The Procedure: Typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia.

• Initial Recovery: Most patients wear a supportive chin strap for the first week to minimize swelling and support the new contours.

• Return to Routine: Most patients are ready to return to work and social activities within 10 to 14 days.

• Final Results: While you will see an immediate change in your profile, the final, refined results emerge over 3–6 months as all residual swelling resolves.
