We’ve all heard descriptions of necks: She has the neck of a swan (long and elegant). That’s the neck of a fighter (thick and strong). His neck looks like a turkey’s (flabby, hanging). Visual, aren’t they? The neck should be an attractive, flowing passageway from the face and the head to the body — without many hills, valleys, and bumps along the route. Aging and other negatives equally affect the face and the neck. We should treat the neck as gently as we treat the face. SSK Plastic Surgery in Newport Beach, CA performs neck lift surgery to bring a dramatic improvement to this area of the body. Plastic surgeon Dr. Sean Kelishadi can help you shave off years of aging wrinkles through neck lift surgery.
Am I A Good Candidate for a Neck Lift?

Regardless of the reason, hanging neck skin produces an unbecoming look, which can only be cosmetically fixed with skin excision and a tightening technique. If you are physically healthy and at a good weight but you feel embarrassed by loose skin and wrinkles on the neck, a neck lift may be a recommended answer.

SSK Plastic Surgery Reviews
I couldn’t be happier with Dr. Kelishadi who recently performed my plastic surgery. Dr. Kelishadi has been an incredible surgeon, a consummate surgeon, full of integrity, knowledge, and skill, taking amazing care of me from the first consultation to the present time. Dr. Kelishadi shows that he really cares about me as a patient and as a person. He works with the patient so that his surgical work is perfectly accomplished. His video lessons for before, during and after surgery show how he believes that the patient is a partner in achieving outstanding results. The office is a well-oiled machine. All of the office staff are absolutely friendly, sweet, kind, personal, and knowledgeable. They make the patient experience feel easy, comfortable and confident. They answer all questions willingly and completely. The office is clean and beautiful. Every patient need is taken care of. The surgery center and the surgery center staff were also amazing. I can’t say enough about the positive aspects of the surgery center and the professionals who participated in the surgery. Selecting Dr. Kelishadi as my surgeon was the best decision I ever made. I am beyond happy with my results.
Amazing Experience - I am 73 years old: A dear friend who has since passed told me the best thing she ever did ; was to have a face lift at 73 . So I took the challenge.it is delightful to look at facial image and see.a much younger.face. I smile most of the time realizing how fortunate I was to find Dr. Kelishadi, Shea and Alejandra, office staff made the experience even better by their kindness and attention...
How come I can only give 5 stars?! This Doctor & his incredible team deserve 5x’s that. I am a very anxious, over thinker and it took me a long time and lots of research to find the right surgeon who’s expertise and talent aligned with my goals. From day 1 he never let me down. He was kind and compassionate yet honest and upfront. His skill level is second to none and his experience quite literally speaks for itself. He creates art, quite honestly. And he conducts himself in such an open, humble way. I didn’t even know it was possible to have the results I got from him. He not only met, he far exceeded my expectations. Thank you Dr. K & SSK Family for everything. I am forever grateful.

What Are The Problems A Neck Lift Addresses?
Aging
Whether aging progresses at a normal pace or begins early, it readily shows in the face and the neck. Major damage can be caused by:
- Decreasing levels of elastin and collagen, and the constant pull of gravity
- An unhealthy lifestyle (e.g., smoking, frequent frowning, insufficient rest and hydration, a poor diet, insufficient exercise for firm muscles and tissues)
- Environmental contributions (e.g., excessive sun exposure and insufficient sunscreen)
- Genetics
- People who exercise a great deal, and those who have a fast metabolism and are naturally lean, may have less volume and less support in their faces. This can translate into skin that needs to be firmed.
Frowning
Frowning is a prime example of the wear and tear that occurs to your face and neck anatomy over time, with the constant muscle activation aiding gravity to pull your structures down and less elastin and collagen available to fight the stresses.
- Volume loss in the fat compartments of the face and redistribution of fat to areas that did not have it before, such as the jowls, adds to this droopy look associated with the aging phenomenon.
- When unfulfilled, failing definition and volume in the cheeks, jowls drooping from the corners of the mouth (marionette lines), and failing definition in the jawline will be hastened and worsened when everything above is falling down.
- Also, a job or a bad habit that entails constant looking downward pushes down on the skin beneath the chin, which may compound a horizontal band of loose jowls.
Neck and facial skin and underlying structures need to be lifted, tightened, and smoothed. These problems should be corrected surgically, especially in the neck, where nonsurgical adjuncts (fillers, neurotoxins, skin-tightening treatments) are shortcuts that, when effective, are often short-term band-aids.
How Is Neck LIft Surgery Performed?
If you don’t want to wear turtlenecks around the clock to cover the ravages of time, especially in warm weather, you may consider a neck lift in the Newport Beach, CA area to reverse the clock. Worthwhile neck rejuvenation can be achieved through neck lift surgery.
We have different procedures and techniques to match your lower or higher levels of need to repair the damage. In our neck lift and facelift techniques, the deeper layers of facial tissue are re-suspended, age-related sagging is corrected, and a more youthful shape is restored. The real advantage of the neck lift is the extensive improvements Dr. Kelishadi will perform:
- To restore the jawline and a 90-degree angle between the jaw and neck.
- Re-drape loose, sagging skin.
- Get rid of visible “platysmal” bands with platysmaplasty. Liposuction of the neck can also be considered in milder cases.

About UsWhat Should I Expect Following Neck Lift Surgery?
After your procedure, you will be wearing a neck-wrap dressing or a “jaw bra” when your designated driver takes you home. Normally, we will remove your surgical dressing the next day. Our efforts to reduce post-treatment inflammation via careful tissue handling will show in your short-term results. The additional advantages are a typical downtime of only 1 – 2 weeks and a natural look. Results will become obvious to you during the next 2 – 3 weeks as swelling resolves and the soft tissue takes on its new form. You may continue to see improvement over the next few months and can rejoice in a better-defined jawline and a younger look that we hope will last over the long term.
