Dr. Zoumalan performs two variations of the Neck Lift, each of which has variations of its own. The choice of the variation depends on your goals as well as your anatomy. The two main types are the Mini-Neck Lift and the standard Neck Lift.

The Mini-Neck Lift

The mini-neck lift is an operation aimed at improving the area under the chin. The medical term is “Submentalplasty.” It only uses a short incision under the chin, in a natural crease. This incision is never seen. This is best for those with good skin elasticity. Dr. Zoumalan can help decide this during your consultation. Just as with the Mini-facelift, this is an ideal surgery for those that have busy lives.

The Standard Neck Lift

The standard neck lift uses small incisions around the ears, in natural creases. It also removes excess fat and re-suspends the thin sheet of muscle in the neck called the platysma. It removes the excess skin that sags under the chin. This is a great operation to give people their old neck back. Dr. Zoumalan uses the smallest incisions to get the best outcome.

The Consultation

During your consultation, Dr. Zoumalan will spend the time to get to know your motivations and areas of concern. He will examine your neck and feel for the different anatomic areas. This helps him decide the most optimal operation or procedure for you.

The Surgery

Dr. Zoumalan will perform your surgery while you are under the care of experienced anesthesiologists at a Beverly Hills surgical center which has the highest level of accreditation and provides the best level of care.

After surgery, we ask that you stay overnight at with a professional nurse who will care for you for at least one night. We will help coordinate this.

Neck-Lift Examples

The woman in the following pictures was unhappy with the thick vertical bands in her upper neck. These are muscle bands of the platysma muscle. As we age, the platysma tends to sag and show more. You can see the two vertical lines in her neck in the top left photo. In the photos on the right, you can see how much improvement she received after a neck lift. The vertical bands are gone. Her neck line is also significantly improved. A neck lift improves the contour of the neckline in a natural way. During a neck lift, extra fat in the neck is also removed to give a more slender and youthful appearance of the neck.

Testimonials

  • I was injured on January 7, 2012 in a mo-ped/scooter accident in Cozumel, Mexico. My entire body head to toe (literally) endured horrendous road rash, my nose broke & plenty more. The level of care I received from dr Zoumalan & his entire office was/is truly indescribable but I shall try!

  • It’s been a year since my septoplasty and rhinoplasty and I am extremely happy with my results.Not only has my breathing dramatically improved, I am sleeping better than ever. I feel healthier and it has significantly changed my exercise routine. I can definitely push myself harder and my workouts are longer and more efficient. Best part is I don’t get that winded feeling or stuffy or runny nose while running. I didn’t realize how many aspects of my life would change after the surgery.

  • I had a Face and Neck Lift on December 3rd, 2014. Dr. Zoumalan does excellent work! He is very thorough in explaining the procedure, and has an excellent bedside manner. I am so happy with my result. I would highly recommend Dr. Zoumalan.

  • So when I met with Richard Zoumalan, I gave him a picture of me when I was 42, and I said, “That’s what I want. Is that possible?” And he said, “Yes!” He explained what he’d do, and how he would do it. I had surgery less than a month ago, and amazingly, I look almost exactly like me, only about 25 years younger.
