Neck Lift Portland

Some of the earliest and most tell-tale signs of the aging process have a tendency to make themselves known in the neck first. The aging process comes for us all, but it’s never fun to see a sagging, wrinkly neck or jawline when you take a look in the mirror each morning. If this sounds like your experience, and you’re in Portland or the surrounding areas, you’re in luck. Double board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Peter Vila and his expert surgical team at The Vila Institute for Plastic Surgery are here for you.

What Does a Neck Lift Cost?

Neck Lift: $10,000 – $15,000

Dr. Vila performs neck lift surgery to reduce visible signs of aging in the neck, including sagging skin, excess fat, and muscle banding. By tightening the underlying muscles and removing unwanted tissue, he creates a smoother, more defined neck and jawline, restoring balance to your facial features and delivering a refreshed, youthful appearance.

Actual Patient

Is a Neck Lift the Right Procedure for Me?

No two patients are the same, both in terms of their physical characteristics, and their unique cosmetic goals. As such, Dr. Vila makes sure to meet with everyone who comes through his doors, and he’ll take care to sit down with you, learn about your aspirations, and help you figure out whether or not the neck lift is the right procedure for you.

If you’re in Portland or the surrounding areas, you’re likely a perfect candidate for a neck lift with Dr. Vila if you’ve find yourself dealing with:

Sagging skin
Increased laxity
Drooping jawline
Hanging jowls
Double chin
Turkey wattle
Crease or bands
Wrinkles and lines

How Does the Neck Lift Procedure Work?

Since your neck lift procedure will be custom-designed to your specific needs and goals, there’s no way to tell exactly how long your procedure will take before your consultation. During your consultation, Dr. Vila will talk you through everything you need to know about your procedure, going through things like incision placement, procedure length, your recovery period, and more.

The procedure itself involves general anesthesia, and will likely take between two and four hours, depending on the extent of the treatment area. For the removal of excess fat, Dr. Vila will use a liposuction technique, carefully removing any deposits of stubborn fat cells. Extra tissue will be trimmed away, and the underlying muscles and tissues will be pulled to a tighter position.

Sutures will be used to carefully close the incisions, which will most likely be placed so that they won’t be noticeable at all to the casual observer. When you’re all done, you’ll rest in our recovery area for a short while, before being able to return home the very same day. We recommend having a friend to help you out, and we’ll give you detailed aftercare instructions, as well.

What’s My Recovery Going to Be Like?

The first thing you’ll notice after your neck lift procedure is some mild swelling and bruising in the area — this is completely normal, and follows just about any surgical procedure.

Dr. Vila’s advanced techniques allow him to employ less-invasive procedures, reducing the amount of discomfort you have to deal with after your procedure. Your neck will feel tight for a few days, and we generally recommend taking it easy for a week or two, avoiding strenuous activities. Your full results should take shape within a month of your procedure.

Will I Have Scars After Neck Lift Surgery?

While the neck lift procedure does leave behind some scarring, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Vila prides himself in minimizing their appearance while also placing them so that they’re not easily visible to the casual observer. During your consultation, Dr. Vila will discuss scar placement, so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
