Neck Lift Surgery Perth

Define your Jaw, Fix Skin Sag with Neck Lift Surgery

Neck lift surgery is used cosmetically to remove excess fat or skin and to tighten weakened neck muscles.

It is suited to people, usually 55 to 75 years, who experience neck laxity due to normal ageing and who want to improve jaw definition and appearance.

Neck surgery may combine cervicoplasty to remove excess skin and platysmaplasty (to alter neck muscles). It is also often combined with other procedures such as a facelift or liposuction as a makeover package.

Neck Lift

A neck lift is commonly requested to correct loose skin and banding under the chin, also known as 'turkey wattle'.

During the procedure small incisions are placed under the chin and/or behind the ears. Patients with greater laxity may require a longer incision behind the ears.

The procedure, usually performed under local anaesthesia with IV sedation, first releases the muscle from the skin before the neck muscles are pulled tight. After the skin is tightened, excess skin is eliminated through additional incisions around the ear. Many patients combine this procedure with a facelift.

Combined Face and Neck Lift

During a combined procedure, incisions are made in front and behind the ear into the hairline. The skin is elevated and underlying connective tissue (SMAS)/ muscle lifted and tightened. Excess skin is removed and the incisions closed in natural lines which are usually not visible.

A drain is occasionally inserted. A dressing is then applied and changed after 1-2 days. The hair and wound can be washed and suture lines cleaned after the dressing is removed. A corset is worn for one week, then at night for another few weeks. Most people can return to work in 10-14 days.

In all cases, incisions are placed where they will fall in natural creases in the skin. While any type of surgery will leave scarring, Dr Pham closes incisions in such a way that the thin scars are well hidden. Incisions can be easily concealed by your hair or makeup.

FEES AND INSURANCE

After conducting a thorough medical history, Dr Pham and his staff will offer information regarding anaesthesia, the surgical facility to be used, and the costs for the procedure. Every procedure is individual and unique to each patient. Because of this, determining your specific needs and the fees associated relies on a variety of factors, such as the complexity of the operation, where the surgery will take place and the type of anaesthetic to be administered.

YOUR QUOTE

A quote will be provided and is usually an estimate as the actual surgery may differ from the proposed treatment due to unexpected findings. Dr Pham will never compromise your health or surgical outcome to conform to previously anticipated or communicated anaesthesia and facility time. If further treatment is required (through complexity, unforeseen complications or additional procedures you request) then extra costs may apply.

TOTAL FEE

The total fee will comprise of

  • Surgeon Fee (Dr Pham) – this will be provided in the quote
  • Anaesthetist Fee – you will need to consult the Doctor / Anaesthetist involve for a quote
  • Hospital or Day Surgery Fee – you will need to contact the hospital involve for a quote

CONSULTATION FEE

The fee for an initial consultation with Dr Pham is $220. To be eligible for any Medicare rebates, you will need to have a valid referral from your general practitioner. Any follow-up consultations will incur a fee of $130.

Your first cosmetic consultation is complimentary with a Nurse Coordinator.

Fees for cosmetic plastic surgery are paid prior to surgery.

DEPOSITS

A non-refundable deposit of 10% or $500 is required once surgery has been scheduled. This deposit reserves the surgery date and is credited towards the balance due.

The balance of fees due is to be paid in full at the pre-operative appointment or three weeks prior to the scheduled surgery, whichever is first. Perth Facial Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery generally does not provide refunds. Once a procedure is scheduled and the fee collected, and you cancel or reschedule the surgery within 2 weeks, there will be a fee of 25% of the total cost.

Exceptions are made for life-threatening emergencies or medical illnesses prior to the procedure. In these instances, the rescheduling fee does not apply.

PAYMENT

Acceptable forms of payment include:

  • Cash
  • Bank Cheques
  • Visa or MasterCard

We do not offer payment plans

HEALTH INSURANCE

As a rule, cosmetic plastic surgery is considered “elective surgery” and is not covered by most health insurance funds or Medicare. Some operations that have a significant functional aspect may be considered reconstructive rather than cosmetic and may attract a small rebate. These include Rhinoplasty for deformity or nasal obstruction, and breast reduction if the weight of your breasts causes pain or interferes with normal activities. Dr Pham will advise you to contact your health fund and Medicare if this is the case.

Because Facial Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery is artistic, on occasion, revisions may be necessary. Such revisions are performed within one year of the original surgery, and although there is generally a minimum charge for the surgery, facility and anaesthesia fees still apply for such procedures. Perth Facial Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery reserves the right to determine whether a revision is appropriate and what the procedure will entail. If you have any questions regarding this policy, please ask Dr Pham.
