What Can a Neck Lift Accomplish?
Neck lifts are surgical procedures that correct the signs of aging—sagging jowls and skin laxity around the neck and jawline. Dr. Zinsser tailors every neck lift procedure to address his patients’ specific needs. Depending on your unique situation, a neck lift can correct:
Lax muscle and skin in the neck
Loss of jawline definition
Double chin
Skin wrinkles in the neck
Muscle bands
Many patients choose to combine neck lifts with other facial procedures to achieve optimal rejuvenation. For example, combining a neck lift with a facelift can address the signs of aging from the midface to the shoulder.
Whatever your rejuvenation goals are, Dr. Zinsser takes the time to understand them, then he recommends the treatments and procedures that best provide you with your desired results.

Neck Lift Aftercare
Following your procedure, Dr. Zinsser may place a dressing around your head and beneath your chin. You will return to have your sutures removed between seven and 10 days afterward.

What Can a Mini Neck Lift in Richmond Accomplish?
While a neck lift address significantly sagging, lax skin in the neck and under the chin to create a slimmer, more youthful-looking appearance, a mini neck lift addresses the same areas on a smaller scale. For patients in their 30s, 40s, and 50s with mildly sagging skin and some skin laxity, a mini neck lift may provide the solution. A mini neck lift is less invasive and involves fewer incisions than a traditional neck lift, meaning you’ll have a shorter procedure with a quicker recovery time.
Mini neck lifts redefine the appearance of the neck and jawline by performing liposuction to remove excess fat across the lower neck and underneath the chin. Dr. Zinsser then tightens the underlying muscular layers with sutures in the mid-line under the skin to create more youthful-looking contours. Without removing any skin, the loose skin is re-draped and allowed to adhere to the underlying layers.
With a shorter recovery time than a traditional neck lift, a mini neck lift can address the same concerns as a traditional neck lift would, including:
- Tightens muscles and skin
- Jawline definition
- Reduces submental fat, or double chin
- Eliminates jowls and excess fat in the lower face
- Smooths wrinkles in the neck
- Improves neck contours by correcting muscle banding
Mini neck lifts can be combined with other rejuvenating facial procedures to enhance your youthful appearance.
What Can I Expect During a Mini Neck Lift Procedure?
A mini neck lift procedure is similar to a traditional neck lift. Dr. Zinsser will customize your mini neck lift procedure to address your unique needs. Each mini neck lift will have varying details, but here are some general steps you can expect.
Mini Neck Lift Procedure
Following the check-in and anesthesia process, Dr. Zinsser will create small, well-concealed incisions in the submental crease and small wounds under the earlobes over the mastoid area for mini neck lifts. Through these incisions, Dr. Zinsser will reposition soft tissues, lift and contour the neck muscles, remove excess fat, then re-drape the skin to add definition to your jawline and chin area.
Mini Neck Lift Aftercare
Following your procedure, dressings may be placed around your head and beneath your chin. Sutures will be removed in about a week. Typically, patients should wear a compression dressing for one to two weeks following the procedure. Slight swelling, bruising, and minimal discomfort are expected with a mini neck lift in Richmond. Resting with your head elevated will help minimize these side effects. These effects will improve over the few weeks following your procedure.
When Will I See My Richmond Mini Neck Lift Results?
Following your mini neck lift, you’ll begin seeing your results as soon as your swelling begins to resolve. As your skin continues to heal, your incisions will fade, and you will be able to enjoy your slimmer, more youthful-looking appearance.
To maintain your results, you will need to continue your healthy diet and exercise regimen. You should experience the results of the best mini neck lift in Richmond for five to ten years.
