Goals Of A Neck Lift

Candidates For Neck Enhancement Surgery

You may be an ideal candidate for neck lift surgery if you:

What to Expect at your Consultation

At our Millsboro, DE location, you will meet with Dr. Perrotta, Dr. Luppens, or Dr. Kerestes for a one-on-one consultation. You will be examined by your surgeon during this appointment and discuss your cosmetic goals. If you are a good candidate for a surgical neck lift or non surgical neck lift, you will be given a customized treatment plan based on your needs.

Our patient coordinator will then provide a comprehensive quote detailing the neck lift cost or mini neck lift cost, depending on your surgical plan. An appointment will also be scheduled for your pre-op visit.

Pre-Op Visit

During your pre-operative visit, one of our skilled medical assistants will take pre-surgical photos to document your progress. It will be your surgeon’s responsibility to explain every aspect of the surgery, potential risks, and what to expect post-operatively. Although risks are rare, they will be discussed transparently.

You will undergo a physical examination and medical history review to ensure you are in good health for surgery. Consent forms are completed, and full payment is collected during this visit. You’ll receive your surgical arrival instructions the day before your procedure.

NECK ENHANCEMENT SURGERY

A neck enhancement procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with IV sedation or under general anesthesia for patient comfort. During your procedure, Dr. Perrotta, Dr. Luppens, and Dr. Kerestes make incisions behind your ears and under your chin, depending on the extent of correction needed.

The skin is lifted, excess fat is removed, and neck muscles are tightened. Any excess skin is carefully trimmed and re-draped for a smoother, more youthful contour. For select patients, a mini neck lift may be performed using shorter incisions and a less aggressive approach—ideal for early aging signs.

Post-Op Recovery

After surgery, you’ll return home the same day with your neck gently bandaged. A neck compression band should be worn for one to two weeks to promote healing and reduce swelling. Showering is typically allowed 1–2 days post-op. Bruising and swelling usually resolve within 3 weeks.

Throughout your recovery, you’ll attend scheduled follow-up appointments at our Millsboro office to ensure your progress is smooth. Patients often return to work within 10–14 days, depending on their individual healing timeline.
