Necklift, Facelift, and More in Sacramento near Roseville and El Dorado Hills
Necklift (Lower Facelift Surgery)
On of the most dramatic changes to the facial appearance is the accumulation of excess or sagging skin below chin.The excess skin or waddle usually consists of loose muscles, skin and fat, and can create an elderly appearance that many women and men in the Sacramento, Folsom, and Roseville areas do not find becoming. 
While many people will choose to have a facelift to fully address the aging face, some will find that a necklift with incisions located behind the ear is a better option for them. Necklifts can be combined with submental liposuction, blepharoplasty, browlifts, and laser resurfacing to better address your needs in a harmonious way.
Candidates for Neck Lift Surgery
If you are unsatisfied with your neck because it appears fleshy or droopy, you are an ideal candidate for neck lift. Most patients who undergo this surgery are 30 to 70 years old, but anyone over 18 may be a candidate for the surgery.
Necklift is not recommended for:
- Individuals with unrealistic expectations
- Individuals suffering from certain medical conditions
This includes high blood pressure and blood-clotting problems. These medical issues can complicate the surgery and postsurgical healing. Inform Dr. Perry of any health problems you have or medications you take.

Things to Consider Before Undergoing Neck Lift Surgery
Financial responsibilities
Fees for neck lift surgery are not covered by health insurance and include surgical materials, facility fees, anesthesia fees, and more. In addition, because a neck lift may involve several procedures (chin implant, facelift, and liposuction of excess fat in the neck), the cost may be higher.
Risk of complications
Because a neck lift can include several procedures, the possibility of complications is somewhat elevated.
Potential reversal of results
Aging and weight gain can negate the results of a neck lift. A neck lift can turn back the clock, but the aging process will continue to affect your appearance. You may require an additional procedure down the road to maintain the results of your neck lift surgery.
How is neck lift surgery performed?
Neck lift surgery is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia, or local anesthesia combined with a sedative.
The neck lift procedure usually combines several procedures which are typically performed through two small incisions either under or behind the ear, and another small incision hidden beneath the chin. Through these incisions the skin and muscles of the neck are tightened, excess skin and fat is removed, and the skin is pulled taut before is the incisions are sutured closed.
Risks of Neck Lift Surgery
Risks are inherent in any surgical procedure. Because the neck lift procedure may also include the placement of a chin implant, facelift surgery, or liposuction, you should read over the respective risks of those procedures in addition to the list below. Dr. Perry will educate you further about possible complications associated with your procedure or group of procedures during your consultation.
Infection
This can usually be treated with antibiotics, but might require a return to the hospital.
Allergic reaction to anesthesia
Reactions to anesthesia are the most common surgical complication. They can be serious and in extreme cases even life-threatening.
Hematoma (accumulation of blood beneath the skin)
If this occurs, the blood will need to be drained.
Injury to nerves
Though rare, neck lift surgery can injure the nerves in the neck, causing permanent damage.
Excessive scar tissue
Scarring after neck lift surgery can be unsightly, but we are often able to address this complication surgically, improving the appearance of the scar.
Numbness
Some temporary numbness after surgery is common, but in rare cases full sensation does not return to the area.
