A neck lift is a procedure designed to help define your jawline and neck with the goal of achieving a more youthful appearance. A neck lift with or without liposuction is one of the most common procedures performed by facial plastic surgeons. Neck liposuction and chin fat removal are commonly performed by Dr. Bonaparte at his Private Office in Ottawa.
The procedure involves a number of connected procedures to improve the appearance of your Neck. Dr. Bonaparte starts by performing neck liposuction. Neck liposuction is a safe and very effective procedure that can permanently remove fat from your neck and fat from under your chin. Performing neck liposuction typically takes 30-45 minutes. After removing the fat in your neck, Dr. Bonaparte then performs the neck lift procedure. To perform the neck lift, Dr. Bonaparte utilizes a small well-hidden incision under the chin and behind the ear. This allows him to tighten the tissue of the neck and the muscles that can sag in the neck. From time to time, to improve the neck lift, Dr. Bonaparte removes some skin from behind your ear that is hidden in your hairline. Doing all this, allows you to achieve a contoured and rejuvenated neck and jawline.
A neck lift can be performed alone or along with a facelift procedure, often achieving dramatic results while minimizing total downtime. Doing a neck lift here in Ottawa at Dr. Bonaparte’s private office is a safe and effective way to help you achieve the results you desire.
Dr. Bonaparte’s Philosophy
Dr. Bonaparte believes that all surgical procedures require the proper balance of art and science. Simply understanding the anatomy is not enough as an eye for symmetry and contours is something that must also be learned and appreciated. Dr. Bonaparte’s background in art as well as his certified training by the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive is a key component in all his surgeries including the neck lift here in Ottawa.
The primary goal of a neck lift surgery is to achieve a rejuvenated neck and chin line without having an artificial operated look. Oftentimes, less is more as it is the subtleties that make the difference.
All neck lift surgeries are tailored to the individual. During your consultation, a significant amount of time will be spent discussing all options, both surgical and non-surgical. In the end, the plan will be based on your needs, goals, and expectations.
