Neck Lift
It involves a plastic surgery procedure in which extra skin from the neck is removed in order to give a very well defined neck and jawline. The neck is considered to be the first body part where ageing symptoms start to appear. In addition to ageing, excessive sun exposure and sudden loss of body weight may also significantly contribute to giving rise to lose saggy skin around chin, jawline and neck. Most of the people don’t find this feature to give more importance. But people who are more conscious about their appearance seek for an ideal solution.

Who Is Candidate?
If you want to consider a cosmetic procedure for neck contouring firstly consult an experienced surgeon and make sure your candidacy for the treatment. You are a suitable candidate for neck lift surgery if:
- You are above age of 18
- You are in good overall health
- You have extra skin and fat on the neck
- Your skin is necessarily elastic and flexible
- You have excess fat deposition under the chin
- You are not suffering from any serious skin condition
Neck lift surgery takes 3-4 hours to get completed. The sufferer is administered under local or general anaesthesia depending on the patient’s need and choice of surgeon. Steps included are:
Selection of anaesthesia:
The surgeon will choose best for you (local/general) in order to make you feel no discomfort during the entire treatment.
Creation of incisions:
Two types of incisions can be created depending on the changes you wish for.
Traditional neck lift:
This type of incision is created in the hairline along the sideburn. The surgeon continues downward around the ear and ends on the hair on the back. Unwanted fat deposits from jowls and neck are usually carved that give rise to the tightening of platysma muscle. Soft tissues that lie under the skin layers are repositioned and skin is trimmed off.
Limited incision neck lift:
As the name shows, the results delivered through these incisions are limited. The incisions are only created around the ear in the type of neck lift. Incisions are much shorter as compare to a traditional neck lift.
Incisions closure:
Skin glue or sutures are normally used for closing the incisions. A dissolvable suture is used that doesn’t require removing. These sutures removed by themselves by getting dissolved. Incision line fades after better healing.
