Neck lift is often chosen after a patient has achieved a rejuvenated facial appearance with facelift.
Suddenly, a dry, wrinkled, time-worn neck seems out of place. At that point, there are two options: a life of turtlenecks, or a neck lift procedure that will smooth skin, erase bands and fortify the integrity of sagging skin.
Sometimes neck lift is performed in conjunction with facelift.
One great motivating factor for many patients is the development of the dreaded “turkey wattle.”
That kind of loose skin and fat directly under the chin is a very noticeable sign of aging, and also extremely hard to eliminate with lifestyle choices, such as eating a healthy range of foods, lowering overall calorie intake and exercising regularly. After all, there isn’t much you can do to exercise the neck or submental region of the face.
