Neck Lift Surgery
For many people the visible signs of ageing can be difficult to come to terms with, especially for those who feel young at heart. There are many cosmetic surgery procedures and non-surgical treatments available to reduce and reverse these signs, and a Neck Lift (Platysmaplasty) is one of the most popular. A Neck Lift, also called a Platysmaplasty, is a surgical procedure by which any loose skin along the jaw line and on the neck itself is removed. The final result gives you a smoother, wrinkle-free neck and jaw line and overall rejuvenated appearance. This procedure can also be used to remove excess skin following substantial weight loss or reduction of skin elasticity due to genetics, sun damage or treatment for illness.
This procedure alone can be effective in making a person look younger, but is often combined with Face Lift surgery in order to create a younger overall appearance. Your experienced surgeon will recommend the best procedure or combination of procedures for you depending on the results you wish to achieve.
Choosing To Have Neck Lift Surgery
There are many reasons why people choose to have Neck Lift surgery:
- Loose skin and wrinkling to neck area
- Substantial weight loss in later life can give the effect of ageing - older skin has less elasticity than younger skin and without the fat, will become saggy and wrinkly
- To look more youthful and attractive
Who Should Have A Neck Lift
The final decision will be made between you and your Cosmetic Surgeon. The procedure is most suitable for those patients with excess skin on their neck through either ageing, weight loss or from inherited genes
