How long does a neck lift take, and what is the cost? (photo)

The length of a neck lift will depend on the complexity of the surgery, the degree of laxity and facial ageing and patient ethnicity and sex. On average a neck lift will take from 1 and half to 3 hours, less than 90 minutes is a short length of time. There is a great deal of individual variation in neck and good surgery requires a meticulous attention to detail including measurements and time. It is important that your surgeon takes adequate time to complete the surgery cautiously and without rushing. Combined face and neck lift takes on average 4 to 6 hours. Dr. De Silva allows a minimum of 3-hours for most neck lift procedures and allows additional time to ensure the best possible result. For more complex revision neck lifting and combination treatments including facelift, fat transfer and blepharoplasty additional time may be required up to 7-8 hours.

A neck lift is not a time consuming procedure. The time can vary with the number of maneuvers performed. Neck lifts can comprise liposuction, sub mental platysmaplasty and lateral platysmaplasty. The cost varies depending on where you live and which procedures are performed.
