What is Neck Lift?
Neck Lift is a surgical procedure performed to remove excess skin and fat around your jaw area to help achieve a refreshed neck appearance. The treatment enhances the appearance of your neck, jawline, and throat area, creating a smoother and more elegant neckline. In addition, neck lift surgery can also help to eliminate fat deposits which result in the double chin look. Immediately after the procedure, you will be able to notice a defined contour of the neck with no more sagginess.
How It Works
Neck Lift includes tightening the skin and underlying neck muscles as well as improving the contour of the jawline. The procedure may be done in conjunction with liposuction for the elimination of double chin and modification of slimmer neck.
Treatment Procedure
1. Anesthesia will be administered
2. An incision will be made in the hairline at the level of the sideburn, continuing down and around the ear and ending in the posterior hair
3. Fat may be sculpted or redistributed from your jowls and neck
4. The tissue underlying your neck skin will be repositioned and the platysma muscle might be tightened
5. Skin will be re-draped over the uplifted contours and excess skin is trimmed away
6. Incisions will be closed with sutures.

FAQ

Q2: Does a Neck Lift help to enhance my jawline?
A2: Although a better-looking jawline is a by-product of a neck lift, those who wish to only enhance their jawline should not opt for a neck lift. This is because neck lifts mainly serve to tighten skin, reduce sagging and remove fat at the neck area.
