A Younger-Looking Profile

Houston T-Z-Plasty at Paul F. Fortes MD Plastic Surgery

With a commitment to tailored treatment, board-certified Houston plastic surgeon Dr. Paul Fortes understands that when it comes to aesthetic surgery, men and women often have different goals and different concerns. By offering T-Z-Plasty in Houston for men who would like to tighten up the neck and restore a youthful appearance, Dr. Fortes and his team can provide a targeted option that addresses issues like sagging skin and excess fat while taking into account the unique needs of their male patients.

A Unique Alternative

What is T-Z-Plasty?

Over the last several years, cosmetic surgery has become increasingly common and less taboo, and men have also become more interested in its benefits.

For those desiring to contour and tighten their necks, traditional neck lift incisions and subsequent scarring can interfere with natural facial hair growth near the ears. With a T-Z-Plasty, incisions are made under the chin, and the scars are less visible. Performed under local anesthesia, this procedure is a user-friendly option for neck rejuvenation.

Younger and Restored

Benefits of T-Z-Plasty

While many men are not as concerned about other signs of aging like wrinkles or volume loss in the face, a sagging, heavy neck can interfere with an otherwise fit and athletic look. With T-Z-Plasty, excess skin and fat can be permanently removed for a tighter, more stately appearance that can turn back the clock. Our Houston, TX T-Z-Plasty patients see great benefits that include:

Tighter skin and reduced fat pocket
Remove a double chin and smooth jowls
More defined angle of the neck
Eliminate a “turkey neck”
Incision is hidden under the chin
Can be performed in-office with local anesthesia

Can It Help You?

T-Z-Plasty Candidates

Ideal candidates for a T-Z-Plasty neck lift are typically between about 40 and 70 who are in good overall health and would like to restore a smoother, more defined neck contour while minimizing visible scarring. Candidates should be non-smokers or willing to cease smoking well before and after surgery, as smoking can hinder the healing process, and should be free from serious or uncontrolled illness.

Refined Skill, Proven Experience

T-Z-Plasty Procedure

The procedure, which typically takes about two hours to complete, is typically performed under local anesthesia with or without sedation. During the surgery, Dr. Fortes creates a Z-shaped incision under the chin to reposition the skin, redistribute tension, and improve contour. The incisions are then meticulously closed with sutures to minimize scarring as much as possible.

Outstanding Treatment, Outstanding Results

T-Z-Plasty Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

Recovery from a T-Z-Plasty neck lift typically involves a downtime of one to two weeks, during which swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are common. Initial results from a T-Z-Plasty neck lift can often be seen immediately after surgery, though optimal results will not be visible until around three to six months.
