Neck Lift

[Translate]

You may be interested in a neck lift if you have excess sagging skin and fatty deposits under the jaw and bands along the front of the neck. This may give the appearance of a double chin or advanced aging compared to your face. The reason for this could be heredity, weight loss, or the effects of aging and gravity. Whatever the case, the loose skin may be bothersome and unattractive. A neck lift will redefine your neck by smoothing out the irregularities and reestablishing the pleasing contours. The surgical incisions vary depending on your anatomy and goals.

Typical approaches include liposuction, removal of excess skin, and tightening of the neck muscles. The scars are well hidden under the chin and similar to a facelift if significant improvement is required. Dr. Yovino offers a mini-neck lift using laser assisted liposuction for appropriate patients. A neck lift takes about two to three hours and is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation. You are able to go home safely the same day. Dr. Yovino will explain all the options and help you determine which approach will give you the desired results.
