Skin begins to sag, vertical bands of skin may develop, and fat may gather beneath the chin. Neck lift surgery not only makes your neck look younger, it can brighten your whole face, especially when combined with a facelift.
How is Neck Lift Surgery Performed?
There are a number of different techniques our surgeons can use to perform neck surgery. The technique depends on many factors, including what you and the surgeon plan to accomplish, the degree of skin sagginess and excess skin, and whether the neck lift is combined with a Facelift.
Incisions are made under the chin, or sometimes near the ears. Through these incisions, your surgeon can reposition and remove excess fat, tighten the muscles, and then re-drape the skin and remove the excess skin.
A neck lift is a surgical procedure. Like any of our aesthetic facial plastic surgery procedures, a neck lift has certain surgical risks and requires you to take a few weeks of downtime following the procedure. Our skilled oculoplastic and cosmetic facial surgeons Dr. Ken Morgenstern has extensive experience in neck lift surgery, and during your consultation they can tell you about what to expect on your surgical day and the recovery. Our oculo-facial surgeons customize the techniques used to your desired cosmetic outcome.
