Neck Lift

A neck lift is a surgical procedure that improves visible signs of aging in the jawline and neck, such as:

• Excess fat and skin relaxation in the lower face that creates jowling   
• Excess fatty deposits under the chin
• Loose neck skin
• Muscle banding in the neck

The loss of youthful contours in the face and neck can be due to a variety of factors, including heredity, gravity, environmental conditions, and stress.

Some people feel they are not ready for a full facelift because the upper face is still pleasing. However, many patients will note excess wrinkling of the neck skin, a “turkey wattle” or double chin, and jowl lines.

When the neck area doesn’t match the upper facial appearance, a neck lift may be a good solution.
