Neck Lift Montreal
No one likes to feel like they look old for their age. Unfortunately, certain aspects of our appearance tend to show advanced signs of aging more quickly than others. The neck is one of these areas.
The effects of sun damage, air pollution, and other genetic and environmental factors combined with the natural loss of skin elasticity as we get older means that the neck region can lose its youthful look.
Fortunately, neck lift procedures are a cosmetic surgery procedure to reduce excess skin or fatty tissue around the neck area, lifting sagging skin and improving the definition of the jawline.

What type of neck lift does Dr. Moubayed perform?
Dr. Moubayed, a board-certified head and neck surgeon, performs two different types of neck lift, through either a midline (central) approach, or a midline and lateral approach:
- Deep neck lift (central): only one scar under the chin is used to address the platysmal bands and the submental fat
- Deep neck lift (central and lateral lift): the same as above is performed, but we also add incisions in front and behind the ears to tighten the neck muscle (platysma) and improve the jowls

What are the risks of a neck lift?
Like any surgery, a neck lift presents the universal (but minimal) risks of scarring, bleeding (and bruising), infection (superficial or deep), and pain (temporary or permanent).
Any neck lift involves the risk of producing paralysis of a facial nerve branch, temporary (and sometimes permanent) numbness of the face or ear (via the great auricular nerve), hair loss, and changes in skin pigmentation.
Dr. Moubayed and his team of cosmetic surgeons are exclusively trained in facial surgery and neck procedures. Dr. Moubayed has a conservative and individualized approach with each patient to minimize the risks listed above.

FAQ
Facelift and neck lift surgery involves safety, finesse, and precision. When it is practiced using modern techniques that enable maximal control, neck lifts take approximately two to three hours.
Mini-facelift is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation or under general anesthesia, depending on patient preference.
Patients generally leave neck surgery the same day and recover at home with plastic drains (to prevent blood accumulations under the skin) and a dressing. Your first appointment happens on the day after surgery where your surgeon removes your drains. Your stitches are removed 5 to 7 days later.
You should expect most bruising to disappear or be easily concealable after two to three weeks before returning to your daily activities. Light physical activity can be resumed after a week, but for more vigorous activities like weightlifting, it is recommended to wait three weeks to minimize bleeding risk.
After two to three weeks, you will be presentable in society. Most of the swelling will disappear during the first three months, but minimal can swelling can persist for up to a year.
It is important to look at multiple factors:
1- Does your doctor have specific expertise in facial surgery and anatomy to be able to protect your facial nerve and minimize complications?
2- Can your doctor perform all types of facelifts to be able to recommend which one is most adapted to your needs without any bias?
3- Did you have a positive experience and feel comfortable during your consultation?
1- Your face shows signs of aging (jowling, submental fat, platysmal bands)
2- You have realistic expectations
3- You are in good health
4- You do not smoke
