Dr. Michael Epstein, Northbrook, IL
Dr. Michael Epstein is a highly regarded Chicago plastic surgery specialist who offers a range of facial plastic surgery procedures. In the paragraphs below, he explains the neck lift procedure, how the procedure is performed and expected recovery time.
A neck lift or neck rejuvenation is a surgical procedure to correct loose sagging skin in the neck area and under the jawline, creating a more youthful and refined profile.
A neck lift may be combined with a facelift, brow lift or eyelid surgery to further enhance rejuvenation.
How is a Neck Lift performed?
Neck lift surgery is an outpatient surgical procedure performed at our facility, Northbrook Plastic Surgery. There are many different techniques that Dr. Epstein can perform depending on your individual needs. Typically a small incision is placed behind each ear and one is placed under the chin. Excess skin is removed and the rest of the skin is pulled up and back towards the ears.This procedure takes approximately 2-3 hours, but may vary depending on the complexity of the case.
What to expect during the recovery period:
- Minor discomfort, bruising and swelling are normal and can be controlled with medication
- Sutures may be removable or absorbable. You'll need to return to our office one week post-surgery for a follow up visit
- An elastic bandage may be placed under your chin or around your head and be worn up to 2 weeks post-surgery
- Return to light activities and work 3-5 days post-surgery
- Resume normal activities 2-4 weeks post-surgery
In addition to neck lift plastic surgery, Dr. Epstein offers other facial procedures and has treated many Chicago facelift, contour threadlift, nose reshaping, forehead lift, and blepharoplasty patients.
