Choose Tampa Surgical Arts for a Neck Lift That Will Unleash Your Beauty

Neck LiftDid you know that the neck is the place where we first begin to show signs of aging? It’s an often overlooked part of the visible aging process, as most people are concerned about wrinkles and lines on their face before they consider a sagging jawline. Truthfully, a neck lift is one of the best ways to improve the visible signs of aging, and it’s a procedure that can be expertly completed by Dr. Manik S. Bedi at Tampa Surgical Arts.

What Is a Neck Lift?

There are many different ways that the neck shows visible signs of aging. For example, excess fat or loose skin can result in jowls. Vertical bands and horizontal creases can also emerge, creating unwelcome contours in the neck. A neck lift is typically the best option to eliminate these signs of aging. The procedure involves removing any excess fat and tightening the skin by pulling it up and back. All incisions are made behind the ears, so they are easily hidden from view.

How Is a Neck Lift Performed?

A typical neck lift involves:

  • An incision being made, starting at the hairline and continuing down around the ear, ending right behind the ear
  • Fat from the neck and jowls being redistributed and sculpted into a more pleasing aesthetic
  • Tissue underneath the neck being repositioned and tightened to improve the contours of the neck
  • Trimming off any excess skin
  • Closing the incision with sutures or skin adhesives

What Are the Benefits of a Neck Lift?

One of the main benefits of a neck lift is that it refines the contours of the neck, eliminating excess skin and reducing the appearance of jowls or a turkey neck. Other benefits include:

  • Lessening the appearance of platysmal bands
  • Minimizing fine lines and wrinkles
  • Tightening underlying muscles
  • Providing natural-looking results that can last for a long time

What Are the Treatment Considerations for a Neck Lift?

Neck LiftThe best candidates for this procedure are individuals who have a strong bone structure and skin elasticity. It’s most appropriate for patients aged 40 to 60, although older patients have seen results with neck lifts.

Since a neck lift requires anesthesia, the patient should also be in good physical health and be able to undergo a procedure such as this.

When you come to Tampa Surgical Arts for a neck lift consultation, Dr. Bedi will discuss your aesthetic goals to understand what you’re looking to achieve from this procedure. From there, he can decide the approach that will best meet your needs, whether that involves a traditional neck lift, a limited incision neck lift, or a neck lift with chin liposuction.

What Should I Expect Pre- and Post-Neck Lift?

When you consult with Dr. Bedi about a neck lift procedure, you’ll be given instructions on what to do beforehand to prepare. Often, we ask that patients avoid over-the-counter medication, alcohol, and smoking, as these can interfere with the surgery and recovery process.

After the surgery, you’ll be bandaged under your chin and an elastic garment will be wrapped around your head. While the bandage can be removed the next day, the garment should continue to be worn at night for at least two weeks. You’ll experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, and should expect to spend at least a week out of work. All of these symptoms should disappear within 10 days, usually sooner. If you were sutured, you’ll return to Tampa Surgical Arts in a week to have the sutures removed.

VOLUME

A common question we get it is, "How much fat was transferred?"

The amount of fat to achieve a certain look is highly variable and depends on multiple factors.

Some have a better starting buttocks foundation and will require less fat.

Others have a significant amount of volume loss and will require more fat.

This beautiful client wanted a rounder and perkier buttocks.

We delayed her procedure a few times because of challenges in gaining weight.

***How much volume do you think was transferred for this case?

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES the amount of fat volume your case might require.

WEIGHT GAIN

Some clients who request a `skinny BBL` will have to gain weight.

We have had some individuals with a BMI of 19 or less who might have to gain 8 lbs, and other clients with a BMI of 22 might have to gain 10+ lbs.

Not all body types are the same.

After reviewing your goals, body composition, and overall health, an appropriate recommendation will be made.

This beautiful client wanted to fill her hip dips and gained 10+ lbs prior to her procedure.

***Who else is excited to see how this one turns out?

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES if you need to gain weight prior to your BBL.

ASYMMETRY CASES

When there is a curve of the back (scoliosis), typically, the hips follow, making the buttocks also asymmetrical.

Fat transfer (BBL) in these cases is extremely challenging because of the underlying discrepancies in anatomy, which makes the amount of fat uptake very unpredictable.

Usually, one side of the buttocks has tighter tissue in the laterals but more relaxed tissue in other parts of the buttocks.

A well thought out plan with the surgeon will be the difference maker.

This beautiful client came to see me for a balanced and athletic appearance buttocks.

She is now 1 year out.

***Do you think we improved her asymmetric hip dips?

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES the challenges of asymmetry cases.

OPTIMIZING RESULTS

Liposculpture focuses on the clients underlying anatomy to achieve a balanced appearance.

The old way of `lipo` to remove the most amount of volume as possible, without paying attention to body type, is not commonplace anymore.

This beautiful woman is 1 year out and keeps looking better because of her commitment to a healthy lifestyle combined with a positive mindset.

***Let me know what you think about this one.

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES how you can optimize your results.

LATEST TRENDS

The most common requests we get are skin tightening and obtaining curves without fat transfer.

Some clients will benefit from both internal and external skin tightening.

Others will need some type of skin removal to achieve their desired look.

Fat transfer is best for those who want highly accentuated curves and/or who have volume loss.

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES the latest trends in body contouring.

BBL QUALITY

There continues to be a surge in demand for fat transfer (BBL) at our facility.

The amount of fat uptake can be highly variable.

Some factors that determine the quality of fat are:
✔️Where the fat is removed from
✔️Area of the buttocks the fat is transfered to
✔️Genetics
✔️Overall health
✔️Lifestyle

This beautiful client wanted a balanced and curvier shape.

She is now 1 year out.

***The best results consistently are in those individuals who have a positive outlook on life.

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES the BBL quality factors.

ANESTHESIA

A very common question we get is, "Do you do awake procedures?"

In our hands, to achieve the results on our page with all hidden entry points while being awake would be impossible.

Safety is our top priority, and we use the latest updates in anesthesia in addition to a modified ERAS (shorter recovery and less post op discomfort) for all of our procedures.

Some facilities will specialize in awake procedures, and we applaud them for it.

However, many of our corrective revision cases happen to be from facilities that do awake procedures and were unable to meet clients` goals.

***This beautiful client wanted the BBL shape without getting fat transfer. Do you think we got this one right?

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES what type of anesthesia they use.

BBL REDUCTION

A growing trend we are seeing at our facility is a request for `BBL reduction.`

The common theme we are seeing is that clients feel that they are okay with the fat transfer but want to be more balanced.

This means that the buttocks/hips should match the legs/thighs with smooth transitions lines.

The laterals are the most challenging area to predict (highly variable fat uptake) and also the most common area we are seeing to be reduced.

Most providers will add more `volume` to this area because of how challenging it is, but sometimes the excess volume will not be proportionate.

Even in the best hands, a round 2 might be required for optimal contours.

This beautiful woman is super early in the healing/compression phase, but due to the surge in requests, we are sharing her journey.

***Do you think she looks more balanced now? Comment below.

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES if you are a candidate for BBL reduction.

AB SCULPT + FINE TUNING

There is a misconception that they higher the BMI, the more challenging the case.

For some procedures, this might be true.

For ab sculpting, typically the thinner the client is, the less forgiving the tissue is.

This means that creating balance and paying attention to subtle areas of selective fat removal and strategically leaving fat in other areas is extremely important.

This beautiful client had lipo elsewhere and came to see me for a revision.

***Notice how the gentle `S shaped` curve of the back matches the same type of curve in the abdomen when viewed from all angles.

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES what ab sculpt and fine tuning is.

TOTAL BODY CONTOURING

There are many forms of art, which can also be an expression of oneself.

Tattoos are a form of body art, which some may or may not appreciate.

Dancing is an art of self-expression, which some may or may not appreciate.

Similarly, total body contouring can be viewed as a form of art, which some may or may not enjoy.

This beautiful client is expressing herself after total body sculpting.

This was a revision case that involved body sculpting plus fat transfer.

***If you don`t appreciate expressive art, that`s okay, but remember to be kind.

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES what total body contouring is.

CURVES

In our opinion, one of the most important factors in body sculpting is getting the curves right.

This means smooth transition lines and, of course, balance.

When the body has an extreme amount of curves and irregular transition areas, it will look unnatural.

Some prefer an exaggerated look, but the most common reason we are seeing secondary cases is to restore balance.

This beautiful woman initially had lipo and fat transfer (BBL) by another provider.

She came to see me for a revision procedure to help create more appropriate curves that are balanced and smooth.

***All revision/secondary cases are reviewed to determine if another procedure will make an improvement.

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES what it means to have curves.
