A smooth, taut neck gives us a fresh, youthful appearance. However, as we age, the skin loses its elasticity, leading to the formation of wrinkles in this delicate region. Since the skin on the neck is particularly thin, these age-related changes can only be partially mitigated by skin care and nutrition.

At the prevention-center in Zurich, we offer an effective solution with the neck lift. Through the targeted removal of excess skin and gentle tissue tightening, we restore your neck's defined, smooth contour. Our goal is a natural, harmonious result that enhances your unique aesthetic. We recommend scheduling a consultation to discuss your individual needs.

What Is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift is a surgical procedure designed to smooth wrinkles and remove excess skin or fatty deposits in the neck and chin area. At the prevention-center in Zurich, we employ various methods tailored to your individual preferences and needs.

Who Is a Neck Lift Suitable For?

A neck lift may be an option for you if you are bothered by sagging tissue, wrinkles, or fat accumulations in the chin or neck area. Depending on the extent of these issues, a neck lift (possibly in combination with a facelift) at the prevention-center in Zurich can be a beneficial solution for optimal results.

What Should You Consider Before a Neck Lift?

Proper preparation is key to avoiding complications. Specifically, you should refrain from using blood-thinning or anticoagulant medications. If you regularly take medication, please inform us during your initial consultation at the prevention-center in Zurich, so we can discuss the best approach together.

What Neck Lift Methods Are Available in Zurich?

Depending on the condition, different methods are used at the prevention-center in Zurich. For example, the so-called anterior neck lift focuses primarily on removing excess skin beneath the chin. A small incision is made in the front chin area to remove excess tissue. In combination with a facelift, additional tightening can be achieved with incisions behind the ear or along the hairline at the nape.

What Does the Neck Lift Procedure Entail?

As with every treatment at the prevention-center in Zurich, we begin with an in-depth consultation to discuss your desires and expectations. After an initial examination, we will explain suitable treatment methods and provide information about the process, duration, aftercare, possible risks, and longevity of results. You will always have the opportunity to ask questions.

Once you’ve decided to proceed with the treatment, an individual plan will be developed to achieve your desired result. Depending on the circumstances, the procedure will take between 1.5 and 3 hours and is usually performed under general anesthesia.

All treatment methods involve making an incision at a specific location to remove excess tissue, resulting in a lifting effect that ultimately creates a more youthful appearance. When you are able to leave the prevention-center in Zurich depends on several factors and varies individually. To support the healing process and ensure the best possible result, it’s essential to carefully follow our aftercare instructions.

What Should Be Considered After a Neck Lift?

Take plenty of rest after your neck lift. For the first few days following surgery, keep your head elevated and sleep on your back. Cooling can help reduce swelling. Please adhere to the recommended duration of wearing bandages and attend all follow-up appointments, during which we will monitor your healing progress and provide additional tips if necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions About Neck Lift

What Risks Are Associated with a Neck Lift?

For our experienced doctors at the prevention-center in Zurich, a neck lift is a proven procedure with minimal risks. However, as with any surgery, there is a possibility of bleeding, wound healing issues, or infections. Light swelling or redness is normal and typically subsides within a few days. Should you experience any other concerns, we are always available to assist you.

When Can You Resume Social Activities and Sports After a Neck Lift?

After about one to two weeks, you are generally socially ready. Light work and walking are usually possible by then. However, you should still be cautious with physical exertion and sports to avoid compromising the healing process. We recommend resuming more intense physical activities after approximately three to four weeks, starting with light exercises and gradually increasing duration and intensity.

When Will the Final Results Be Visible and How Long Do They Last?

Around three to six months after the procedure, all swelling will have subsided, and the final result will be visible. The effect is long-lasting, although surgery cannot stop the natural aging process. With a healthy diet, avoiding alcohol and nicotine, regular exercise, sufficient sleep, and minimal stress, you can preserve the results for many years.

Are Scars Visible After a Neck Lift?

Every surgical incision leaves a scar. However, thanks to skillful incision techniques and proper scar care, it is usually barely noticeable. In a neck lift, the incision is typically made under the chin or behind the ears. In rare cases, raised scars may form, but these can be professionally corrected at the prevention-center in Zurich.
