What Problems Can a Neck Lift Address?
Neck lifts are a procedure that is intended to restore a more youthful and slim appearance by contouring the skin of the neck and addressing problem areas. Some of the issues that are commonly improved by neck lifts include:
- Excessive wrinkles on the skin of the neck
- Drooping skin or excess fat along the lower face
- Turkey neck or sagging and loose neck skin
- Double chin
During your neck lift, a small incision will be made that follows the contour from your lower hairline to the top of your ear. Your surgeon will then remove excess skin, sculpt, remove, or redistribute excess fat, and craft a new, more pleasant contour.
Are You a Good Candidate for a Neck Lift?
Like any type of procedure, it is important to have realistic expectations. Additionally, you should meet specific criteria to ensure you will be able to benefit from a neck lift. In general, you should:
- Be a non-smoker
- Be in good general health
- Not have any medical condition that impairs or slows your healing
It is vital to have a full understanding of what a neck lift surgery can and cannot do. It is best to discuss this procedure with your doctor to ensure it can help you reach your goals.
