Mittelman Horizontal Neck Lift
Why Consider a Mittelman Horizontal Neck Lift?
The lower neck often shows signs of aging, sometimes even more noticeably than the face or upper neck. Loose skin, etched horizontal lines, and deep creases can create an aged appearance that is difficult to correct with other treatments.
Not every patient is a candidate for the Mittelman Horizontal Neck Lift.
However, individuals with both a “turkey waddle” in the upper neck and etched horizontal lines are typically excellent candidates. These etched lines, which run across the front of the neck, cannot be removed by any other procedure.
The Horizontal Neck Lift is a safe and effective solution that delivers outstanding results. In fact, many patients describe the improvement in their lower neck as their favorite part of their overall transformation.
The Mittelman Horizontal Neck Lift
In addition to traditional neck lifting, Dr. Mittelman has developed the Horizontal Neck Lift, a specialized procedure designed to address horizontal creases and excess skin in the lower neck. These areas are often left untreated by classic facelift and neck lift procedures.
What the Mittelman Horizontal Neck Lift Can Achieve:
- Firm and tighten the skin in the neck
- Remove etched lines, wrinkles, creases and folds of the lower neck in exchange for a well-healing scar
- Eliminate excess fat and skin in the lower half of the neck
- Correct a “turkey waddle” neck as a separate procedure at the same time
- Does what a classic face lift cannot do in patients that are candidates for this procedure
- Usually done under local anesthesia
- Create a more rejuvenated overall appearance that will help you look as young as you feel
- Lasting improvements: results typically last more than 10-15 years
This innovative technique has been presented at multiple plastic surgery conferences and is available exclusively through Dr. Mittelman.
Am I a Candidate for a Mittelman Horizontal Neck Lift?
You may be an ideal candidate if you:
Are bothered by lower neck sagging or an undefined jawline
Notice deep creases or horizontal neck bands
Are in generally good health and seeking natural lower neck improvement, even in high risk patients (smokers, diabetic, etc.)
Procedure & Recovery Overview
- Anesthesia: Local anesthesia and oral sedative
- Scar Placement: Strategically placed in the lower neck to eliminate horizontal etched neck lines
- Tightening: Neck muscles are tightened. Excess fat can be liposculptured. The skin of the neck is lifted and tightened with a meticulous skin closure
- Recovery: Swelling and bruises are not likely after the procedure. Virtually no pain from this procedure. Sutures will be removed in one week. Most patients are comfortable going out in public with a turtle neck or scarf after one week. One can resume normal activities after 10 days.
As Dr. Mittelman believes in truly personalized care, he determines candidacy for all his procedure on an individual basis and will provide his personalized guidance for your recovery period during your post-operative appointments.
