How to Decide on Your Los Angeles Neck Lift

A beautiful neckline is usually associated with an attractive appearance, making it one of the most sought-after goals for many patients.

There's a vast array of non-invasive and minimally invasive neck lifts on the market. Their techniques and methods range from liposuction, botox, ultrasound and laser treatments, etc.

While these are suitable options for patients looking to refine the appearance of their neck, various surgeons recommend the surgical neck lift as the go-to procedure.

Candidates For A Neck Lift?

Neck lifts candidates are usually between the ages of 40 and 60, meaning that the main problem with their neck involves skin and muscle laxity and a significant accumulation of fat.

Liposuction is a procedure that focuses on removing fat from the neck. Nevertheless, this does not tackle the toll of age on your body.

Aging results in loose skin; therefore, liposuction consists of only a small improvement in the contour of the neck. If overdone, you're left with an irregular appearance that will have you wearing turtle necks in the Summer.

That being said, the accumulation of excess tissue is an aspect that only neck lifts can tackle adequately. 

A Comprehensive Los Angeles Neck Lift

A neck lift involves removing deep fat and other excess tissue from the neck while also trimming and tightening the muscle to produce an improved contour. 

While satisfactory results can be achieved, it's essential to understand that the neck lift is a procedure that requires incisions and, in some cases, even general anesthesia.

A neck lift can run the following risks:

• Adverse reactions towards the anesthetic
• Thick, noticeable scarring
• Blood clots
• Infection
• Nerve injury

A 2-in-1 for Better Results In Los Angeles

You don't have to opt for traditional neck lifts and liposuction in Los Angeles. Quickly researching today's more modern options easily demonstrates that they're no longer the optimal route to consider.

That said, consider Chin AirSculpt® by Elite Body Sculpture, a minimally invasive procedure for the neck that simultaneously removes fat and helps tighten the skin without the use of a scalpel, needle, stitches, general anesthesia, or noticeable scarring.

Better yet, Chin AirSculpt® is considered to be a 'lunchtime procedure,' given that the procedure takes about 20 minutes to deliver immediate results as soon as you walk out of our office.

The procedure is performed in the following steps:

1. The Elite Body Sculpture surgeon uses the AirPen to numb the neck area, a needle-less device that uses pressurized air to administer local anesthetic.
2. A biopsy punch is used to form a 2-millimeter opening on the neck, and a local anesthetic is inserted to prepare the fat for extraction.
3. The AirSculpt® cannula is then used to extract the excess fat from the neck while simultaneously tightening the skin.
4. The cannula is removed, and the two-millimeter openings are naturally left to heal, leaving an unnoticeable scar only the size of a freckle.

AirSculpt® procedures have a recovery time of 48 hours, a timeframe much less than traditional alternatives that require weeks.
