Neck lift

What is a Neck lift?

A Neck Lift is used to correct correct the loss of sharpness or blunting of the neck angle that often gives an impression of early aging, lack of fitness or weight gain There can be multiple reasons for this problem. Often a history of weight gain and loss, leaves an excess of fat under the chin area. Aging or strenuous neck muscle activation (i.e.in weight lifters or singers) can also blunt the neck by dragging the skin downward. In some cases it is a family trait in which the neck muscles do not produce a sharp sling ,accompanied at times by the presence of deep sub muscular fat giving as well the appearance of a "double chin".

Each person will have different requirements for this procedure. If you are interested in a Neck Lift, make an appointment with our office for a consultation to determine your individualized treatment.

About the Neck lift Procedure - How does it Work?

Fullness in the neck area can be treated in three different ways. Patients with fullness in their neck but good overall skin tone may only need Liposuction.

For patients who have lax underlying neck muscles (visible vertical muscle bands) in addition to fullness in their neck, the doctor first performs Liposuction to the neck and then makes an incision behind the chin crease to tighten the neck muscles (Liposuction and Plication). Occasionally a chin implant is used to enhance the neckline.
