Deep Structural Neck Lift for Men
Deep Structural Neck Lift for Men in Austin, TX, With Dr. Yula Indeyeva
For men, a chiseled, well-defined profile projects confidence and virility. However, some people are genetically predisposed to have submental fullness that can make them look older or heavier. Additionally, as with aging, the skin on the neck and jawline will lose its elasticity and start sagging, leading to concerns like a “turkey wattle” or a double chin.
These issues can often be challenging to conceal, even if you grow a beard or make creative clothing choices. At Facial Plastic Surgery of Austin, Dr. Yula Indeyeva specializes in deep structural neck lift—an advanced debulking technique that offers trimming, tightening, and fat removal in the neck region.
The Frustration of Submental Fat
Many men struggle with submental fat—the fat pocket that accumulates under the chin. Several factors can contribute to storing excess fat in this region, including heredity, hormones, aging, and natural fat distribution patterns.
While you can lose weight with lifestyle changes like diet and exercise, areas like the chin and neck can be notoriously difficult to tone and define. Muscle helps burn fat, but the limited musculature in the region makes fat loss difficult through exercise alone. Fortunately, procedures like a neck lift and neck and chin liposuction are highly effective at addressing this stubborn fat deposit.
Unique Benefits of a Deep Structural Neck Lift
A deep structural neck lift is the most advanced neck rejuvenation technique, providing longer-lasting and more natural-looking results than traditional methods. Instead of working at a superficial level, this procedure allows Dr. Indeyeva to target the underlying musculature, fat, glands, and connective tissues for a smoother contour that avoids an overcorrected appearance.
Stubborn submental fat and loose skin can detract from your self-esteem by making you look older and heavier than you’d like. A neck lift can improve your appearance from every angle, which is essential for making a positive impression. Bringing your facial features into better proportion and balance can accentuate a strong, masculine appearance.
A deep structural neck lift is an ideal procedure for men who worry about scarring because it only requires one incision concealed in the natural crease under the chin. This single incision gives Dr. Indeyeva enough access to enhance and optimize your neck contours. Having finished these steps, she will redrape the skin and meticulously close the incision with tiny sutures.
Recovering from a Deep Structural Neck Lift
A neck lift is an outpatient surgery. You can return home the same day with a responsible family member or friend to drive you. We will provide detailed post-procedural instructions, including how to care for your incision, when you can shower, and when to return for your follow-up appointments.
Typical side effects of this procedure include mild bruising and swelling, tightness, numbness, and discomfort. You will have a drain placed to remove excess fluids.
While everyone heals at a different rate, you should feel well enough to return to work and social activities within two to three weeks. Please avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and craning your neck until Dr. Indeyeva clears you.
