Will a Facelift Improve the Appearance of My Neck?

, , , , , ,

No one is immune to aging. As the years go on, natural changes to our appearance are unfortunately unavoidable. Although we all age differently, it’s incredibly common for the effects of aging to make us self-consciousness about our appearance and take a toll on our self-esteem and body image. This is especially true for aging that effects particularly visible areas like the face and neck. With age, the skin on the neck can become slack while the underlying support system of fat and muscle collapse, leading to droopy cheeks, a weaker jawline, and a neck affected by wattle and bands. All this can make someone look significantly older than they really are. Thankfully, patients who are concerned about the appearance of their face and neck have cosmetic plastic surgery options to help turn back the clock and restore their confidence.

During facelift consultations, I routinely hear from patients who are concerned about the appearance of their neck. One of the most common questions I receive is whether or not undergoing a facelift can help treat their neck or if additional cosmetic surgery procedures will be required. The truth is, it depends on each patient’s individual aging process. However, in many cases undergoing a facelift can dramatically improve the appearance of the patient’s neck, as well as the jowls and jawline without the need for additional neck lift surgery.

In the video below, I discuss how a facelift can help cosmetic surgery patients look younger by improving the appearance of their neck.

Aging may be inevitable, but the unfortunate effects time can have on your appearance don’t have to be. If you are concerned about looking older than you really are, don’t hesitate to contact a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your issues and see how cosmetic surgery can help.
