Dr. David Gilpin is a double board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in facial reconstruction and facial plastic surgery. As an expert in face and neck lift procedures, patients can rely on him for advanced treatments and exceptional results. One of these advanced treatments is the deep neck lift. If you want to turn back the clock on aging, this is what you can expect from the procedure.

What is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift is a plastic surgery procedure that addresses visible signs of aging on the neck and jawline, including jowling, loose skin, neck wrinkles, and vertical neck bands. Liposuction is commonly included to target submental fullness (a double chin). The primary goal of neck lift surgery is to restore a more youthful and defined neck contour, harmonizing it with the facial appearance. A facelift can be combined with a neck lift for comprehensive results and more dramatic rejuvenation.

Traditional Neck Lift vs. Deep Neck Lift

Traditional neck lift procedures involve the removal of excess skin and tightening of the platysma muscle. Liposuction is often used to eliminate excess fat in the neck area. This method primarily focuses on the superficial layers of the neck and can provide noticeable improvements but will not address the deeper structural changes that occur with aging.

Dr. Gilpin’s deep neck lift uses an advanced technique that restructures the platysma muscles and removes the submandibular gland, the structure underneath the chin that can create a visible bulge in patients with a weak chin. By remodeling and removing these deeper layers, Dr. Gilpin can create a more dramatic change and long-lasting results.

Benefits of a Deep Neck Lift

The deep neck lift offers many benefits compared to traditional neck lift surgery. Patients can expect the following from this advanced procedure:

Natural-Looking Results

By restructuring the deep tissues, not just the superficial layer of skin, Dr. Gilpin avoids an overly tightened or “pulled back” look. Deep tissues will be lifted into their natural youthful position, maintaining the unique facial characteristics of each patient. Patients without jawline and chin definition often find incredible results with this new innovation.

More Comprehensive Results

The deep neck lift procedure restructures the platysma muscles to improve the appearance of severe sagging or drooping on the neck and jawline. This means patients can expect better results that last longer than a traditional neck lift procedure.

Customizable Procedure

Dr. Gilpin will tailor your surgical procedure to meet your unique needs and cosmetic goals. A deep neck lift can be combined with other procedures like a deep plane facelift or brow lift to rejuvenate the entire face and neck area. Patients will look at least 10 years younger and can feel more confident in their refreshed appearance.
