Neck Lift
Many women and men over the age of 45 become increasingly concerned about the laxity in the neck. The most definitive approach to correction is through surgery.
Neck lift is a term used to define rejuvenation and tightening of the neck. There are many different approaches to rejuvenate this area and the exact approach is dependent on the patient’s desires and the extent of neck laxity.
Midline Platysma Bands(small cords directly under the chin):
Usually presents in the early 40’s. It is due to loss of elasticity of skin and deeper tissues. The contraction of the neck muscles contributes to the severity which is more apparent due to the loss of fat between skin and muscle of the neck. Treatment may include a small incision under the chin and tightening the muscles. This procedure is usually done under local anasthesia and has minimal down time.
Excessive hanging skin of the neck:
More commonly starts in the late 40’s. It is caused by the laxity of skin and muscles of neck. The best procedure to improve this issue is through lateral and medial neck lift. That means besides making an incision below the chin there would also be incisions made behind the ears to elevate the excess skin and pull the skin behind the ears. The recovery may take about seven to ten days.
Although correction of hanging skin of the neck may be simple the procedure must be performed by a surgeon with extensive experience in this area.
