Direct Neck Lift #43373

This is a direct neck lift performed on a 67-year-old male patient weighing 193 lbs. The direct neck lift technique places the incision along the neck itself, which makes it a straightforward option for men whose beard and skin texture can conceal the scar line more readily than in other patients. The procedure addresses excess skin and underlying tissue in the neck directly, without routing the correction through incisions near the ears as a traditional facelift approach would. The after photo is taken at six weeks post-op, showing the lateral neck profile at that point in recovery. Healing continues beyond six weeks, so the six-week mark represents an early look at where things are heading.
