Neck Lift Surgery in Raleigh
It’s often said that the neck gives away someone’s age but thanks to neck rejuvenation, that doesn’t have to be the case. Neck rejuvenation, sometimes called a neck lift, tightens the muscles around the neck and removes excess skin and fat, leaving you with a smoother, more youthful appearance. It can also help improve the look of your jawline and make your face look more proportionate.
What is a Neck Lift?
A neck lift addresses a number of common concerns, including extra skin and fat on and around the neck, as well as neck wattle (also known as "turkey neck.") There are two common techniques when performing neck lifts: traditional and limited incision.
During a traditional neck lift, an incision is made beginning at the sideburn-level of the hairline, extending around the ear to the back of the hairline. From there, fat may be sculpted or redistributed, the tissue under the neck skin is repositioned, and the platysma muscle may be tightened. A second incision under the chin may be necessary if liposuction will be used to remove fat. The skin is then smoothed over the neck and the incision closed with small sutures. A limited incision neck lift works in the same way, just with smaller cuts around the ear. The results from a limited incision neck lift may not be as dramatic as with a traditional lift. Many people choose to pair a neck lift with other procedures like a face lift, eyebrow lift, or chin implant for maximum results.
