Does loose skin and wrinkles make your neck look older than the rest of you? A lot of people around the world face similar predicaments. In most cases, the cause of this problem is the aging and weakening of certain muscles and ligaments. The consequences are usually visible as the infamous turkey neck, bands, and an overall weathered appearance of the entire neck area. On top of that, weight gain (or sudden weight loss) can make these matters worse. To deal with issues like these, the experts at the Enfield Royal Clinic Abu Dhabi suggest a comprehensive Neck Lift Surgery in Abu Dhabi. 

Neck Lift Surgery in Abu Dhabi:

Neck lifts are a useful cosmetic surgery that can rejuvenate and improve the skin of and around the neck substantially. In this treatment, the surgeons cut out or at least reduce extra fat and skin, or tighten some muscles to refine sagging and wrinkled skin in the neck region. The most common kind of this procedure is called Platysmaplasty (named so because it affects the platysma muscles that reside in the lower facial portions). However, there are many other types of treatment, and we will discuss them soon. For now, let’s take a brief look at which areas and issues we can target with this surgery. 

Treated Area:

• Platysma muscles.
• Lower face.
• Neck bands.
• Double chin.

Neck Lift Surgery Cost in Abu Dhabi:

The Neck Lift Surgery Cost typically starts at approximately 20,000 AED. Here we say approximately because the final prices usually change over time. How and why these prices change depends on different factors like the patient’s condition, procedure type, or additional procedure the patient chooses, and general clinic fees, etc. 

Here’s an estimate of the cost for a simple neck lift surgery compared with a related treatment. 

Conventional Types of Neck Lift Surgery:

Below, we will briefly explain a few common types of this surgery that surgeons prefer for different situations. 

Platysmaplasty: 

The specialists use this technique when they have to fix the platysma muscles. For this procedure, the surgeon can place the incisions near the ears, sideburns, or the chin, depending on the specific situation. 

Mini Neck Lift:

As the name suggests, this one is used for moderate cases of skin laxity and folds. The incisions for this surgery are behind the ears and beneath the chin. 

Cervicoplasty:

Surgeons use this technique to cut away any of the unwanted loose skin or fat from the neck and surrounding areas. The incisions for this procedure are placed behind the ears and under the chin. 

Deep Plane Neck Lift:

Deep plane lifting affects the deeper neck tissues and rejuvenates the overall skin. The incisions for this surgery are typically placed just below the chin and at the back of the ears. 

Neck Liposuction:

This one targets the excess fat at the neck and its surrounding regions. For this, surgeons use the traditional fat-suctioning techniques of liposuction to remove the fat that’s not needed. 

Digastric Muscle Reduction:

It can be useful, but this procedure isn’t used very often. In these procedures, the surgeons reduce the size of a muscle that’s found under the jaw (digastric muscle) to hopefully improve the outlines of the neck and the jawline at the same time. 

Chin Implants:

An artificial implant is placed in the chin to quickly tweak its appearance and increase the volume of the neck and jawline.    

Non-surgical Options For Neck Skin Augmentation:

Surgical treatments are not the only way to alleviate a patient’s concerns about their neck. We will mention only a handful of popular procedures. However, please note that most non-invasive options don’t provide robust or long-lasting outcomes. 

• Botox injections.
• Dermal fillers.
• Radiofrequency and ultrasound.
• Kybella injections.
• Laser treatments.

Ideal Candidates for a Neck Enhancement Surgery:

Patients should be aware of the points we’ve gathered below to make sure that they are actually suitable for this treatment. 

Good Candidates for Neck Lift

• Individuals with visible signs of aging
• Patients with a lot of excess fat in their neck areas
• People who have good physical and psychological health
• Patients who can quit smoking or don’t smoke at all
• Individuals with neck bands or sagging skin

Bad Candidates for Neck Lift

• Smokers who cannot quit temporarily
• Those with complicated health conditions 
• Pregnant or breastfeeding ladies
• People who have not yet recovered from previous surgeries 

Initial Consultations:

Before a patient moves forward with any surgery, they need to talk to a qualified surgeon (such as our renowned plastic surgeon, Dr. Ahmad Naji Attiyah). This consultation is to identify the patient’s problems and expectations. Talking with the patient makes it easier for the surgeon to determine if the patient is even eligible for a specific treatment (in this case, neck surgery). 

Common Pre-Care Measures:

The preparatory guidelines can be different in some situations, but mostly they are as follows:

• Get a full health evaluation from a trained practitioner.
• Follow a healthy diet.
• Stay hydrated.
• Take only the recommended medications.
• If needed, apply for the services of a caregiver. 

An Overview of the Technique:

To begin, the surgeon puts the patient under anesthesia and makes precise incisions where they are needed around the neck area. They then either adjust the neck muscles or remove excess fat and skin, depending on the root cause of the issue.

When the surgeon thinks that the neck skin is suitably adjusted, they use sutures or medical glue to seal the incisions. After that, the surgeons usually monitor their patients closely and note any issues or complications after the treatment. If there are no complications, they discharge the patient once the anesthesia wears off. 

Some Instructions for After the Treatment:

The following are the measures patients should follow after the session:

• Wear compression clothes. 
• Only apply the suggested topical medicines.
• Keep the skin clean and dry.
• Avoid exposure to sunlight.
• Refrain from drinking alcohol.
• Keep your head uplifted.
• Refrain from bending the neck.
• Timely attendance at the follow-up sessions.

Diet Plan to Follow after the Treatment:

Patients need to take care of their diet after the treatment because eating hard foods can affect the outcomes significantly. Find a few useful dietary instructions below:

Food Items to Consider:

• Leafy greens.
• Soft foods.
• Lean proteins.
• Water.
• Healthy fats.
• Vitamin-C-rich food.

Food to Avoid:

• Hard food.
• Sugary foods.
• Processed foods.
• Salty foods, etc.

How The Results Work for a Neck Lift:

The complete, most noticeable improvements of this treatment take a little bit of time. On average, the patient only has to wait 2 or 3 months for these final results. These results are long-lasting, though exactly how long they last varies for every patient. It ultimately comes down to different influences like their genetic makeup, lifestyle, skin damage, and other such factors. 

Important Benefits of a Platysmaplasty:

Highlighted below are some key advantages of neck lift procedures: 

• Sculpts the neckline to be smooth and structured.
• Helps deal with skin problems like fine lines, laxity, or folds.
• Removes premature symptoms of aging.
• Leaves minimal to no scars.
• Quicker recovery without any complications.
• Has long-lasting positive effects on the skin.
• Eliminates accumulated fatty tissues.
• Can be customized as per the requirements of the patients.
• Enhances confidence and beauty.
• Boosts overall facial aesthetics as well.

Common Misconceptions About Surgical Neck Lifts:

There are often certain myths and misunderstandings surrounding surgical treatments like these that have such a profound impact on the appearance of an individual. 

Rhytidectomy vs. Platysmaplasty:

Rhytidectomy and Platysmaplasty are two terms patients often find very confusing. Their confusion is for good reason, too, because these treatments are often used in tandem and have a lot of similarities. The difference lies in the areas in which we use these procedures. 

Rhytidectomy is basically a facelift; surgeons use it to tighten up the skin in the lower regions of the face (such as the jowls and cheeks). A type of this treatment, called lower Rhytidectomy, works on the neck, but it works very differently from a Platysmaplasty. 

Platysmaplasty, as we mentioned, is a very targeted surgery. The main goal of the surgeons with this surgery is to adjust and modify the platysma muscles. Fixing these muscles has immediate effects on the skin and neck bands.
