the body, therefore aging related changes are difficult to conceal. If
you are bothered by any of the following conditions, then a neck lift
may be right for you:
♦excess loose skin and fatty tissue of the neck
♦"skin bands" which run from beneath your chin to your lower neck
♦a poorly defined chin-neck angle
♦decreased definition of the jaw line
The type of procedure recommended for your neck lift will depend
on several factors, including the degree of skin excess and laxity,
presence of fatty tissue, and your goals for neck rejuvenation.
Below are the procedures used for neck rejuvenation and the
specific indications for each procedure:
Thermage® (ThermaCool™)
This non-surgical approach is indicated if you have a small amount
of excess neck skin and fatty tissue. Thermage® utilizes
radiofrequency waves to tighten the treated skin. There is no
downtime, and you may return to your regular activities the next
day. The above link will provide you with more information on this
procedure.
Neck/Chin Liposuction
This is a minimally invasive surgical procedure best suited if you
have excess fatty tissue of the neck, but no excess neck skin.
Through three small, well concealed incisions, the fatty tissue is
removed by use of a suction device. The above link will provide
you with more information on this procedure.
Facelift To Improve Neck Contour
The appearance of more significant amounts of excess neck skin can
be improved by way of a face and neck lift. Through a single
surgical procedure dramatic improvements in the neck contour, jaw
line definition and facial skin is achieved. The above link will
provide you with more information on this procedure.
