NECK LIFT
Surgery Miami
Do you feel as if the skin on your neck sags a bit and has lost its youthful appearance? Unfortunately, this physical change occurs very commonly as we age. But this doesn’t mean that you have to suffer from sagging neck skin if it develops; a simple neck lift has proven to be very effective at eliminating this issue.
WHAT IS A NECK LIFT SURGERY?
A neck lift (which is also known as a platysmaplasty or a lower rhytidectomy) is a cosmetic plastic surgery operation that is designed to eliminate visible signs of aging in the neck and jawline. Neck lift procedures are a common solution for removing:
- Loose or sagging neck skin
- Surplus fatty deposits around the chin
- Excess fat and skin laxity in the lower parts of the face (which can develop into jowls)
- Abnormal contours in the neck caused by banding of the muscles
It is important to note that people who are thinking about getting a neck lift should be aware that these procedures work best when in good health.
WHY DO PEOPLE GET A NECK LIFT PROCEDURE?
Just like the skin on our faces, our neck skin will likely show signs of aging as the years pass. This is because this sensitive skin is especially prone to damage from gravity, the sun, environmental factors, and the process of aging itself. As a result, the neck’s cosmetic appearance can take a toll and develop deep wrinkles, creases, double chins, and sagging cheeks. Even though the development of these blemishes is perfectly natural as we age, many people suffer from a drastically lowered self-image and simply lose their ability to interact in personal and professional situations in the same way they used to. Luckily, a neck lift procedure can quickly and effectively bring your youthful contours and tight skin back.
DO YOU NEED A NECK LIFT SURGERY IF YOU GET A FACELIFT PROCEDURE?
If you are getting a facelift, it is very likely that you will also need a corresponding neck lift to make the new beauty enhancements seem natural and balanced. However, many people get neck lifts without a related facelift. This primarily occurs when the face still retains a pleasing cosmetic appearance but the neck has developed some sagging or other signs of aging.
