Pre-Operative Guidelines
Consultation
Your neck lift journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Simmons. During this session, they will evaluate your neck structure, discuss your goals, and determine the most suitable technique for your needs.
Medical Evaluation
A thorough medical evaluation is crucial to ensure you are a good candidate for surgery. Dr. Simmons will review your medical history, medications, and any underlying health conditions.
Preparation
To prepare for surgery, you may be advised to:
- Stop smoking at least six weeks before the procedure.
- Avoid certain medications that can increase bleeding, such as aspirin and anti-inflammatory drugs.
- Arrange for transportation and post-operative care, as you will need assistance immediately following the surgery.
Steps To Proceed
The Neck Lift Procedure
We prioritize a seamless and transparent process for our esteemed patients. To embark on your transformative journey
-
Anesthesia
The procedure typically begins with the administration of anesthesia, either general anesthesia or intravenous sedation, to ensure your comfort throughout the surgery.
-
Incision
Dr. Simmons will make strategically placed incisions, usually starting in the hairline at the sideburn, continuing around the ear, and ending in the posterior hairline. For a limited neck lift, shorter incisions may be used.
-
Repositioning and Lifting
The underlying tissues and muscles are then repositioned and lifted. Excess skin is trimmed away, and the remaining skin is draped over the newly uplifted contours, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Closing Incisions
The incisions are meticulously closed with sutures or skin adhesives. Dr. Simmons ensures that the scars are well-concealed within the hairline and natural contours of the ears.
