Neck Lift
As we age, our face and neck becomes susceptible to sagging, with unsightly excess skin and fat and a loosening of the muscles. Sun exposure and gravity can also break down the structure of the skin, creating deep creases, folds and loose skin over time. A neck lift can be effective in restoring a tighter, more youthful appearance to the neck and lower face areas.
Is this procedure for me?
A neck lift is typically performed to improve the appearance of the neck and under the jawline by reducing loose and sagging skin often caused due to a thickening and drooping of the platysma muscle. The main aim of the neck lift surgery is the elevation of the upper back corner of the platysma. This is accessed through an incision around the earlobe, at the angle of the jaw. The neck lift procedure usually takes between two to three hours.
