Neck Lift

As we age, the muscles and skin of our neck and lower face sag and lose definition. Jowls may form as muscles loosen and fat is deposited along the jaw line. The neck muscles can weaken and separate, causing a “turkey gobbler” effect, and the neck can become thick and wide as fat is deposited under the chin.

Neck lifts are often performed in conjunction with facelifts, though they can be performed alone.  The procedure is performed using an endoscopic through which the surgeon removes excess fat and tightens the neck muscles. In some cases liposuction is all that is required to remove the excess fat from the neck.

A neck lift is performed under local, I.V. sedation, or general anesthesia and usually takes two to three hours to complete.
