Double Chin Sagging and Neck Aesthetics

With the natural aging process, sagging and wrinkles in the face and neck area can cause a tired and aged appearance. Especially looseness of the neck skin, fat accumulation under the chin, and excess skin often lead to aesthetic concerns. Neck aesthetic procedures eliminate these signs of aging, helping the skin look firmer, smoother, and more youthful.

Neck aesthetic treatments can be performed using different techniques depending on the patient’s age, skin elasticity, and the degree of the problem. For patients with relatively good skin elasticity, effective results can be achieved with non-surgical solutions such as a 30-minute neck suspension performed under local anesthesia. However, for patients with advanced sagging and muscle laxity, surgical intervention, namely a neck lift surgery, is recommended.

In some cases, the main concern may be only fat accumulation in the neck area. In such cases, excess fat can be removed with a 30–60 minute liposuction procedure, resulting in a slimmer and firmer appearance.

A neck lift is usually performed under general anesthesia. During the operation, the muscle and skin layers are carefully tightened and excess tissue is removed. Since the surgical incision is placed close to the hairline behind the ear, scars remain hidden. After the operation, which lasts about 2 hours, the patient achieves a firmer and more youthful neck contour.

After surgery, temporary swelling, bruising, and mild pain may occur and last for up to 2 weeks. To make the recovery more comfortable, painkillers and medications prescribed by the surgeon can be used. Most patients return to their daily routine within one week, but full recovery and the final contour of the face and neck may take around 2–3 months.

The results of neck aesthetics can last for years depending on the patient’s lifestyle. Sun protection, maintaining a healthy diet, and avoiding smoking after surgery help extend the longevity of the aesthetic results.

Neck aesthetics is not only about appearance but also an important procedure that boosts self-confidence. For those who wish to reduce the signs of aging and achieve a healthier and more youthful neck contour, it offers an ideal solution.
