Neck Lift
A neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the neck and jawline by addressing loose skin, muscle banding, and excess fat. Over time, aging, weight fluctuations, and genetics can contribute to the development of sagging skin (often called a “turkey neck”), jowls, or double chin. A neck lift works by tightening the underlying muscles, removing excess skin, and repositioning tissues for a smoother, firmer, and more defined neck contour.
This procedure is often chosen by individuals who feel their neck makes them look older or heavier than they are. It can be performed on its own or combined with a facelift for a more comprehensive rejuvenation. Advances in surgical techniques allow for natural, long-lasting results with minimal visible scarring, usually hidden along natural creases or behind the ears.
