What is a neck lift?

A neck lift is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the neck and jawline. A neck lift can create a more defined and graceful contour by addressing excess skin, muscle banding, and accumulated fat. This procedure is often sought after by individuals looking to correct signs of aging or those desiring improvement in the contour and definition of their neck and jawline.

What is the procedure?

During a neck lift in Palm Beach, Dr. Davidson makes strategic incisions behind the ears and possibly under the chin to access and tighten the neck muscles, remove excess fat, and trim excess skin. His precision and attention to detail allow for minimal scarring, with all incision lines well-hidden and fading, becoming virtually invisible.

The journey to recovery after a neck lift

Neck lift surgery is performed under general anesthetic, either as outpatient surgery with patients going home the same day or to a local luxury hotel under the care of our team nurse overnight or as inpatient surgery with one night in a VIP hospital suite. Patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which generally subside within a week. Discomfort can be managed with prescribed pain medications. Depending on the level of desired discretion, patients can return to work and public social events in 2-4 weeks. Dr. Davidson and his team provide detailed aftercare instructions and are committed to supporting you throughout the recovery process to ensure a smooth and comfortable healing journey.

How Many Appointments Will I Need With a Neck Lift?

Your neck lift journey in West Palm Beach will typically involve a series of visits to Dr. Davidson‘s office, including your initial consultation, your surgery, and several follow-up sessions.
