All About Neck Lifts

Neck Lifts are extremely popular among people of all ages, they are a great way to get rid of excess neck skin or fat, and trim down that wrinkled sagging. The effect of their outcome is quite dramatic, as they can easily take ten to fifteen years off your face and skin. Some younger clients seek neck lift procedures to tighten the loose neck muscles that they were born with, while older crowds want to rejuvenate the appearance of their skin’s elasticity. There are various procedures, approaches and combinations that are available on the market today;

- Cervicoplasty: This procedure removes the excess skin that’s giving your neck that sagging appearance, it tightens aging skin to eliminate visible wrinkles. This is done through incisions under the chin and behind the ears, then the skin is lifted and secured with permanent structures of a special type of permanent adhesive glue.

- Liposuction: By removing excess fat from right underneath the jaw line, liposuction helps define the jaw line, giving you a smooth contoured appearance.

- Platsymaplasty: In focusing and targeting the neck muscles, this procedure helps reduce the neck’s banded appearance.

Most procedures for neck lifts are minimally invasive, since they use smaller incisions for their overall effect. These points are usually under the jaw, behind the ears, and in other strategic placements to help revitalize the appearance of your skin. The procedures are  performed under local anesthesia with IV sedation and take about 1-3 hours.

Its common to combine procedures, I mean, why not? – if you’re getting something done, might as well pair it with another to achieve and perfect the overall look!
