The aging process of the face and neck, along with its sagging skin can have a significant impact on the appearance of the neck. As with many other areas of the body and face, the natural aging process, weight loss or sun exposure tend to cause a loss of firmness and visible wrinkles.
Sometimes considered an isolated surgical procedure, the neck lift is often integrated as part of a facelift to achieve a rejuvenated and more refined overall appearance. In addition, the incisions used in a facelift (hidden behind the ears and the hairline) and the required convalescence are similar or sometimes identical for both procedures.
For patients who wish to optimize their results, a neck lift surgery can be combined with microneedling treatments, such as Morpheus, to stimulate collagen production and restore the skin to obtain a smooth, more firm appearance.
A pre-operative consultation will determine whether a face, neck or combination surgery is the right approach to achieve your rejuvenation goals.
