A neck lift is a surgical procedure to remove loose, excess skin and fat as well as tighten the neck muscles for a smoother appearance. It can also be referred to as a lower rhytidectomy, platysmaplasty, or submental lipectomy, depending on what is being corrected. With age, the skin around the neck loses elasticity and begins to sag. For some people, weight gain can cause fat to accumulate under the chin and upper neck – this is often referred to as a double chin.
When it comes to younger individuals, liposuction is usually enough to solve the problem. With older patients, however, we may need to tighten the skin and muscle along with performing liposuction in order to give good results. If we only do liposuction, no significant scarring is seen; but when we have to tighten the muscle, there is a 2-inch scar just behind the chin in the upper neck.
Neck Lift Surgery Procedure
A neck lift is a surgical procedure that is done to improve the appearance of the neck. There are two types of neck lift surgery procedure: traditional and limited. The surgery can be done under intravenous sedation or general anaesthesia.
The incisions for this type of surgery are made in areas that are hidden, such as the front of the ear or within the hairline. The correction is performed through an incision under the chin. This allows the surgeon to access and lift the layer of muscle called the SMAS.
The fat is removed through liposuction and the excess skin is removed to tighten the area.
Liposuction is used to remove the fat and the excess skin is confiscated to tighten the area. The incision is closed with sutures, which results in a natural-looking appearance without the pulled-back look.
