Direct Excision Neck Lift
CONVENIENTLY LOCATED TO SERVE WASHINGTON, DC
A direct excision neck lift is a specialized cosmetic surgery for men aimed at enhancing the neck’s appearance by removing excess skin and fat. This procedure is especially favored for its effective results in male aesthetic procedures, providing a more defined and youthful neck contour.
How Does a Direct Excision Neck Lift Work?
Unlike a standard lower face and neck lift, which has incisions around the ears, the direct excision removes skin by cutting it out directly from the neck, thus avoiding the scars around the ears, which are hard to conceal in men. It does not improve the jowls and lower face.
Direct Excision vs. Traditional Neck Lift: Key Differences
The typical patient says, “I just want to get rid of this turkey gobbler” or “waddle.” A direct excision neck lift is simpler. It has fewer potential complications than leaving scars around the ears.
Although the procedure does leave a visible scar on the neck, it is in a relatively hidden area. Not one patient has been uncomfortable with the scar.
The recovery period is shorter than a lower face and neck lift as well. Patients can resume strenuous activities in 4 to 6 weeks, depending on the surgeon’s recommendation.
How Is Direct Excision Neck Lift Performed?
During the procedure, Dr. Olding makes strategic incisions, usually under the chin or behind the ears, to minimize visibility. Excess skin and fat are then carefully removed, and the remaining skin is tightened over the neck’s structure, creating a smoother, more defined appearance. This neck lift procedure is meticulously performed to ensure natural-looking results.
Benefits of Choosing a Direct Excision Neck Lift
The benefits of a direct excision neck lift include a more youthful appearance, improved neck contour, and reduction in the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin. It’s an excellent option for men seeking cosmetic surgery to enhance their facial features and achieve a more masculine profile.
Recovery and Aftercare for a Direct Excision Neck Lift
Recovery time varies, but most patients can go back to work in 4 to 5 days. Swelling and bruising should go away after two weeks. Strenuous activities are not recommended until 4 to 6 weeks.
We recommend patients wear the recommended compression garments and take the prescribed pain medication for a comfortable healing process.
Potential Risks of a Direct Excision Neck Lift

I don’t look old and tired so I don’t feel old and tired
A week after my facelift I was working in the yard when two women walked by. They asked “What happened to the lady who lived here?” I told them it was me – I’ve lived here for 35 years. One woman said, “Oh, it must have been your mother.” I have felt more energetic too. I don’t look old and tired so I don’t feel old and tired. Thank you Dr. Olding for changing my life at the age of 69!
