Mini Neck Lift in Mckinney & Frisco

As the years go by, it’s fairly common to start seeing the passage of time reflected in your appearance, specifically around the neck and jawline areas. And while the neck lift has traditionally been a popular surgical procedure for its ability to refresh and rejuvenate this area, it also tends to come with a prolonged recovery period and downtime (as so many invasive surgical procedures do).

If you’ve been looking for a great way to refresh your neck and jawline areas but aren’t interested in a full-on neck lift, Dr. Rana’s signature Rapid Recovery R2 Mini Neck Lift might be the perfect solution for you.

What Sets the R2 Mini Neck Lift Apart?

The primary difference between the traditional necklift and R2 mini necklift is Dr. Rana’s signature technique. He utilizes a technique that harmonizes the effects of a traditional necklift where the deep muscles of the neck are lifted and tightened (platysmaplasty) combined with the finesse of making smaller, minimally invasive incisions. Most patients can return back to their social lives typically in 5-7 days, making the R2 mini neck lift perfect for those with buys schedules and lives.

Utilizing smaller incisions not only means a reduction in the amount of scarring you’ll experience after your procedure, but it also significantly shortens the recovery time you’ll need to deal with, as well. Most patients can return to their social lives within a week, making the R2 Mini Neck Lift perfect for those with busy schedules and full lives.

Overview of a Rapid Recovery R2 Mini Neck Lift

Dr Rana will typically create an incision behind each ear near the earlobe to gain access to the neck tissues. Below the skin, the platysma, or muscle band, found in both sides of the neck can be surgically tightened. The restructuring can include surgical cuts to this fibrous sheet, or an elevation of the tissue, leaving it fully intact.

It is not uncommon to combine liposuction to sculpt the fat of the jawline (jowls) and neck. This is completed by an incision below the chin, where a small cannula can access the adipose tissue to perform lipo-sculpting.

Combined with his artistic eye and unique ability to tailor results for each patient, he will be able to achieve a favorable, all-natural result, where everyone will notice… but no one will know.

Testimonials
"Dr. Rana is one of the most caring surgeons I have ever had the good fortune to have. I was injured on active duty and I have had 11 previous surgeries. The surgery he performed (a facelift and neck lift) was the best I have ever experienced. The pain was very minimal, the healing time was short and the result was nothing short of amazing. He did an amazing job, repairing a surgery that I had on active duty that did not go well. I am a different person due to Dr. Rana‘s excellent skills as a surgeon as well as his plethora of compassion and empathy. I highly recommend him to anyone. His skills are unmatched!"

"I had a face and necklift with Dr. Rana and I couldn’t be happier with my results. Several friends referred me to him and I just knew I had to see the very best. My results are natural and my recovery was easy and painless. People know I look better, but they have no idea I had surgery, which is exactly what I wanted. Dr. Rana is very warm and friendly. The staff is excellent as well and made my entire experience wonderful. I am thrilled with my results more and more every day! "

FAQ

How long will my R2 mini neck lift results last?

Am I a candidate for a R2 mini neck lift?

Any healthy adult struggling with sagging skin is potentially a candidate for a neck lift. Many people have this procedure performed in their 50’s and 60’s, but individual candidacy is up to the discretion of your plastic surgeon.

Will I need to stay at the hospital overnight after my R2 mini neck lift?

With the use of Dr. Rana’s advanced and propriety technique, the R2 mini necklift will not require a hospital stay.

How long does it take to recover from the R2 mini neck lift?

Because smaller and fewer incisions are made, bruising and swelling are greatly reduced. Patients are able to return to work or social functions in as little as five to seven days.

Can I take medications and herbal dietary supplements after the R2 mini neck lift surgery?

There are potential adverse reactions that occur as the result of taking over-the-counter, herbal, and/or prescription medications. Aspirin and medications that contain aspirin interfere with bleeding. These include non-steroidal anti-inflammatories such as Motrin, Advil, and Aleve. It is very important not to stop drugs that interfere with platelets, such as Plavix, which is used after a stent. When taking the prescribed pain medications after surgery, realize that they can affect your thought process and coordination. Do not drive, do not operate complex equipment, do not make important decisions, and do not drink any alcohol while taking these medications. Be sure to take your prescribed medication only as directed.

Can I be out in the sun following the R2 mini neck lift surgery?

The effects of the sun are damaging to the skin. Exposing the treated areas to the sun may result in increased scarring, color changes, and poor healing. Patients who tan, either outdoors or in a salon, should inform their surgeon and either delay treatment, or avoid tanning until the surgeon says it is safe to resume. The damaging effect of sun exposure occurs even with the use of sunblock or clothing coverage.

Can I travel after the R2 mini neck lift surgery?

Any surgery holds the risk of complications that may delay healing and your return to normal life. Please let the surgeon know of any travel plans, important commitments already scheduled or planned, or time demands that are important to you, so that appropriate timing of surgery can occur. There are no guarantees that you will be able to resume all activities in the desired time frame.
