How a Neck Lift Can Improve Your Appearance

A neck lift can rescue your neck from the unkind signs of aging. It is also an amazing way to improve the appearance of the neck after drastic weight loss, which is why neck lift procedures are so popular.

To find out what a neck lift can do for you, read on.

Why a person may need a neck lift

The neck bears the brunt of aging. The skin on both the face and the neck loses elasticity with age, but the skin on the neck will always look older than the skin on the face. In the same way, the muscles of the face and neck become loose and inelastic, but the effects are more pronounced on the neck.

The result is a neck that looks much older than the face. This look can be particularly frustrating for a person who has a youthful face that sits atop a wrinkled, sagging neck.

Fortunately, a neck lift is designed to get the neck and the face back on the same page. There are many other ways that a neck lift can improve a person’s appearance. For example:

Facelifts look so much better when combined with a neck lift

There is no point of getting cosmetic surgery that results in a face that is 30 years younger than the neck it rests on. Which is why doctors will recommend both procedures to realize a youthful and aesthetically pleasing look.

A neck lift also works with a facelift to create a more defined jawline.

Neck lifts get rid of the excess skin and fat left behind after weight loss

An unwanted side effect of dramatic weight loss is loose skin. Sadly, no amount of toning exercises can get rid of unwanted skin. When the excess skin is located on the neck for all the world to see, the result is an unappealing neck coupled with a nice, slim face.

This is no cause for worry, though. A simple neck lift can remove excess skin to create a slim, shapely neck with tight skin. This way, both the neck and the face can benefit from the person’s weight loss efforts.

A neck lift is less invasive than a facelift

A person who wants a cosmetic procedure that gives a youthful appearance should know that neck lifts sometimes work better than facelifts. A neck lift may do more for the jowls and the jawline than a facelift ever could.

Better still, neck lift surgery is less intensive compared to a facelift. A cosmetic surgeon makes small incisions when doing a neck lift, but they are forced to make much longer cuts when performing facelifts.

Which means that neck lifts cause less scarring and need less recovery time compared to facelifts.

A neck lift is the only way to remove turkey neck and banding

As a person gets older, the skin under the chin becomes saggy and wrinkled. The resulting look is commonly known as a turkey neck. Only a neck lift can truly fix a turkey neck.

With age, the neck muscles lose their tone. They form unsightly vertical bands that divide the neck into columns. A cosmetic surgeon will fix such a neck by tightening the muscles and removing excess skin and fat.

The result will be a nicely contoured neck with tight, supple skin.
