Lower face lift procedure is frequently performed in conjunction with a neck lift. Some people feel they are not ready for a full facelift because the upper face is still pleasing. However, many patients will note excess wrinkling of the neck skin, a “turkey wattle” or double chin, and jowl lines. When the neck area doesn’t match the upper facial appearance, a neck lift may be a good solution.
A neck lift is not a single procedure but refers to a set of procedures to enhance the appearance of your neck. Procedures can include:
As a restorative surgery, a neck lift does not change your fundamental appearance and cannot stop the aging process.
A neck lift can only be performed surgically; non-surgical rejuvenation treatments cannot achieve the same results, but may help delay the time at which a neck lift becomes appropriate and complement the results of surgery.
A neck lift can be performed using many different techniques. Dr. Edwin Ishoo uses the traditional surgical neck lift as well as the minimally invasive technique using the Smartlipo TriPlex® to improve the appearance of jowls and neck, by eliminating lines, wrinkles, fat and promoting skin tightening.
A neck lift procedure is performed under local anesthesia and oral sedation. The use of the Smartlipo TriPlex® not only improves underlying structures of the neck, but also benefits the outer layers of skin, by even out skin texture, tone and appearance.
A neck lift is best suited for clients who have excessive neck fullness or extensive skin sagging and wish to tighten the appearance of their neck. If all elasticity is lost from the neck, surgical neck lift is the best option. Please consult with Dr. Ishoo to learn about the best neck lift option for you.
