This transformation is a great example of how impactful a neck lift can be - not just for the neck, but for the overall balance and definition of the entire lower face.
A Grecian Urn direct neck lift is more commonly performed on male patients who want to remove their ‘turkey waddle’ with minimal downtime. This procedure involves direct excision of the skin under the chin to a level just above the Adam’s apple. It is usually done under local anesthetic and creates a vertical scar with a zig-zag appearance in its mid portion. Sutures are removed 1 week after surgery and bruising is minimal and resolved by 2 week. Whiskers can camouflage the scar as it heals. The results are immediate. It takes a full year for any scar to fully mature into a thin, white and pliable line.
It’s a great option for patients who have moderate sagging and decent skin elasticity, and who want a natural-looking result without a more invasive procedure or general anesthesia.
That said, if there’s significant skin laxity, a full neck lift may be more appropriate - every treatment plan is customized to the patient.
This patient’s results speak for themselves. His neckline looks sharper, more refined, and completely natural - while still looking like himself!
