Neck Lift
The neck lift procedure
is intended to provide a natural, attractive and more
youthful appearance. This surgery can produce excellent
results and the scars are usually inconspicuous. Recent
technical advances have led to longer lasting
improvement and an increase in patient satisfaction.
Complications are rare.
The operation consists of
removing excess skin and fatty tissue and correcting the
sagging of specific facial and neck muscles. Cosmetic
surgeons have been performing this type of surgery for
many years. Recent advances in surgical technique have
led to significantly improved and longer lasting
results.
Many factors play a role
in the aging of facial skin. These include the physical
environment (sun, wind), the type of skin (elasticity,
thickness), the complexion (pale, dark, ruddy), weight
alterations, nutrition, smoking and menopause. There is
no ideal age for this type of surgery. It must also be
remembered that a neck lift cannot remove all wrinkles.
A neck lift will not stop
the aging process; it only removes some of its effects,
producing a more youthful appearance. The procedure can
sometimes be done again, if need be, in order to
maintain the rejuvenated look.
