What is Neck Lift?
Neck lift surgery, also partially known as chin lift, is a procedure performed to improve neck contour by eliminating excess fat and skin, followed by tightening the loose skin to revive a firm and youthful look to the chin and neck area.
The aging of neck is visible by the combination of loose skin and muscle, as well as some excess fats. Typical patients who seek this treatment range between the ages of 30 and 70.
How It Works
A neck lift is a cosmetic procedure that works by removing excess skin and fat around the jawline, and the pullback effect will be done to tighten and give the neck and chin a firm and youthful look. The surgery will be performed under general anesthesia, and it involves liposuction procedure to remove the fats.
Other than the general surgery for a neck lift, our affiliated clinic offers a Submental Lipectomy for neck lifting as well. Submental Lipectomy is a modified procedure for neck lift which involves removing the localized fat deposits by liposuction that is present under the chin and then tighten the platysma muscle to further define the neckline.
