Neck Lift
A neck lift is a surgical procedure that improves the contours of the neck. Neck lifts tighten sagging skin, eliminate unwanted fullness, and reduce the appearance of the muscle bands, prominent vertical muscles that stretch upwards from the collarbone. The neck is a highly visible feature that influences our overall appearance.
Neck Lift:
"Define Your Jawline, Revitalize Your Profile"
A neck lift is a cosmetic procedure designed to address sagging skin, excess fat, and muscle laxity in the neck and jawline. This procedure is often sought by individuals who are looking to rejuvenate the lower face and restore a more youthful and defined profile. Techniques such as Platysmaplasty, which targets the neck muscles, or a Lower Rhytidectomy, which focuses on the skin and underlying tissues, are commonly used to achieve these results. The procedure helps smooth out the neck area, reduce jowls, and improve the contour of the chin, giving the face an overall more sculpted and toned appearance.
Tailored to the individual’s needs, a neck lift can effectively eliminate the "double chin" effect, tighten loose skin, and diminish the signs of aging around the neck and jaw. The results can provide a more harmonious balance between the face and neck, boosting self-confidence and offering a refreshed, youthful look. Whether done alone or in combination with other facial rejuvenation procedures, a neck lift can significantly improve the overall aesthetic of the lower face, helping individuals feel more comfortable and vibrant in their appearance.
