TOP PLASTIC SURGEON
IN LOS ANGELES AND BEVERLY HILLS

Neck Lift in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills, CA

Dr. Kenneth Benjamin Hughes is a Harvard-trained and board-certified plastic surgeon performing multiple male surgery procedures in Los Angeles, CA. As one of the nation’s preeminent cosmetic and reconstructive surgeons, he has been a gifted expert in his field for many years. His fully customized treatments are routinely requested by local and out-of-town patients, both male and female.

During your consultation at his modern, state-of-the-art practice, Dr. Hughes will thoroughly review your medical history and carefully examine your symptoms after listening to your unique aesthetic goals. If plastic surgery is in your best interest, he may then approve you for one or more of these procedures specifically designed for male patients:

Gynecomastia Correction

Gynecomastia is a condition where men develop larger breasts that are damaging to a patient’s self-esteem. This is frequently an unfortunate byproduct of puberty or can also result from hormonal imbalances, certain types of medications, or weight fluctuations. During gynecomastia correction surgery, Dr. Hughes removes excess breast tissue for more aesthetically pleasing contours.

Pectoral Implants

On the other hand, some men may be frustrated with constantly working their chests at the gym but not being able to achieve that toned, rugged appearance they desire. Pec implants can be strategically inserted into the chest, customized to the patient’s wanted effect. 

Male Brow Lift

A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is done to reduce prominent forehead wrinkles and lift the eyebrows for a more youthful, “alert” look. For a male brow lift, Dr. Hughes follows the contours of the supraorbital rim to preserve the masculine appearance while being sure not to create large, visible scars.

Male Eyelid Surgery

Male eyelid surgery, also known as a male eyelid lift or male blepharoplasty, is performed to eliminate “bags” below the eyes or reduce droopy upper eyelids. Besides these being cosmetic concerns, the latter can sometimes cause blocked peripheral vision. 

Male Face and Neck Lift

Loose, hanging skin on the middle to lower face and neck can be corrected with a male face and neck lift. The symptoms typically addressed with this treatment include:

  • Wrinkles
  • Fine lines
  • Deep nasolabial folds
  • Jowls
  • Double chin
  • Turkey neck
  • Muscle banding in the neck

Male Neck Lift

While face and neck lifts are often combined, some men experience a loss in skin elasticity that is primarily based just below the chin and jawline. Jowling, double chin, turkey neck, and muscle banding are commonly treated with the male neck lift technique.

Male Liposuction

Male liposuction can be an excellent choice for men at or near a healthy body weight who are struggling with isolated fat deposits that are just not responding to diet and exercise. Dr. Hughes employs multiple liposuction and liposculpture techniques to help you achieve firm, masculine contours. This treatment is frequently used to address the:

  • Abdomen
  • Flanks
  • Thighs
  • Back
  • Upper arms
  • Chin

Male Tummy Tuck

The male tummy tuck is used to remove unwanted skin and small amounts of fat in the abdominal region, as well as tighten the muscles themselves if necessary. In men, these symptoms can occur after weight loss or due to aging or heredity.

Revolutionize Your Masculine Features

If you’re interested in any male surgery procedures in Los Angeles, CA, listed above, Dr. Kenneth Hughes is standing by and ready to meet with you. To start your aesthetic journey, contact Hughes Plastic Surgery today to set up your initial consultation!

With a neck lift, Los Angeles patients can address issues like drooping neck skin, harsh vertical platysmal neck bands, excess neck fat, a double chin, and a turkey-wattle neck. This neck plastic surgery procedure involves removal of excess skin and fat, along with tightening of sagging skin and neck muscles.

Dr. Hughes has performed numerous neck lifts, and his incision techniques make it very difficult to determine if anything has been done. Results are always natural and always tailored to meet the needs of the individual, whether they hail from Los Angeles or Boston, Beverly Hills or Pittsburgh.

Combination Procedures

Patients often combine their neck lift with a lower facelift to achieve more comprehensive facial revitalization. This procedure is called a lower face/neck lift. For even more comprehensive improvement, Dr. Hughes may also recommend facial procedures like a brow lift or upper and lower eyelid surgery (or upper and lower blepharoplasties).

In some cases, patients prefer to combine a neck lift with non-surgical facial rejuvenation. To address facial wrinkles, Dr. Hughes offers fillers, which are temporary, and facial fat grafting, which is largely permanent.

Preparing For Neck Lift Surgery

For four weeks before the neck contouring procedure, smokers will need to quit smoking. They will need to avoid smoking during the recovery process as well. Smoking negatively affects skin health and can lead to complications, along with a prolonged healing period.

Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, and any other NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). These can cause bleeding complications during surgery. Certain herbal supplements can also cause this issue and must be avoided.

On the day before your neck lift, do not eat or drink anything after midnight. It is permissible to use a small amount of water to rinse after brushing your teeth.

On the day of surgery, it is necessary to wear loose-fitting clothing that does not need to be pulled over your head.

The Neck Lift Procedure

At the start of a neck lift procedure, either general anesthesia or intravenous sedation is administered for patient comfort. Next, Dr. Hughes makes small hidden incisions behind the ear and/or below the chin.

Fat is removed using liposuction, in which a cannula is inserted and medical suction is applied. Excess skin is trimmed away using a scalpel. The sagging platysma muscles are rejoined and tightened using internal sutures.

The skin is redraped over the neck’s new contours. Finally, the incisions are closed using skin adhesives or stitches.

Neck Lift Recovery

Dr. Hughes will advise you during your consultation regarding post-surgical care directions. You will need to follow these directions closely while healing in order to ensure ideal results and a comfortable recovery process.

Swelling and bruising will be present in the neck area for a time. To help control these issues, make sure to always keep your head elevated during healing, even overnight. Cold compresses can also aid in reduction of swelling.

You must stay home from work for a time, and rest is vital. Avoid physically strenuous activities like exercise and heavy lifting until cleared to resume them.

You will need to come in for follow-up appointments with Dr. Hughes to have stitches removed. Dr. Hughes will check on the progress of your healing to ensure that no complications have occurred.
