How Can I Rejuvenate the Appearance of My Neck?
Although aging is a universal concern, no two people age exactly the same way. Additionally, certain areas of the body are more vulnerable to the effects of time than others. For many people, the accumulation of excess skin, fat deposits, and drooping muscles, as well as the appearance of wrinkles, can make the neck look prematurely old. This is why the neck is a common area of concern for many patients who are considering cosmetic surgery. I wanted to take a few moments to discuss popular options for neck rejuvenation.
Neck lift surgery is intended to help people who wish to improve the appearance of their neck area. The procedure typically involves surgically removing excess skin and repositioning the muscles in the neck area. The incision can be made around the ear or concealed in the lower hairline. Depending on my recommendation and the needs of a specific patient, I may perform a neck lift in a few different ways. For instance, in some cases I may use liposuction to remove excess submental fat from the neck to treat the appearance of a “double chin.” Some patients may require a tightening of the neck muscles that can help provide added definition and a more youthful profile.
However, some patients may benefit from other procedure alternatives. My signature short scar facelift includes a neck lift to help provide comprehensive rejuvenation for the lower portion of a patient’s face. This helps address concerns like the jowls, jawline, and neck area for patients who are concerned about these specific areas.
In the following video, I discuss how I use facelift surgery to help my patients who wish to revitalize the appearance of their neck:
One of my primary issues I focus on during any cosmetic surgery consultation is determining the exact procedure and surgery options that will be most helpful for the patient I am meeting with. It’s important for patients to fully understand all of their options, as well as what the results they can expect to achieve, in order to make the most informed decision possible regarding their procedure.
