Necklift
The
neck is one of the first areas to exhibit the telltale signs of aging,
and many people pursue the necklift procedure to help tighten and tone
up the skin, remove excess fat and get rid of any band lines around the
neck. In most cases, the neck lift involves the removal of fat using a
micro-liposuction method, and may also involve surgery that tightens up
the muscles and smooths out the skin.
Dr. Zarrabi has several years of experience in performing the neck lift
procedure, and offers a customized, personalized approach for surgery
so that results look natural and complement the patient’s face and bone
structure.
Key Benefits of a Neck Lift
The neck-lift procedure offers several benefits for men and women who
have ‘band lines’ around the neck or loose skin that creates the
unattractive ‘neck wattle.’ The neck lift can accompany the facelift
procedure to create a streamlined and sculpted look.
Key benefits of the neck lift include:
- Tightening up of loose skin under the chin
- Removal or reduction of appearance of band lines
- Sculpted and contoured profile
- Smoother, more youthful neck and jawline
- Reduction of 'drooping' muscles and skin under the chin
How the Neck Lift Procedure is Performed
The necklift procedure can take several hours and involves creating an
incision right under the chin so that facial liposuction can be
performed with ease. Many people who have a ‘turkey wattle’ or loose
skin under the chin area have excess fat stored right under the
jawline; facial liposuction effectively removes these excess fatty
deposits so that the tissues can then be manipulated and sutured in
place.
Tightening of the skin in the neck and jowel area is performed with a
procedure known as platysmaplasty; this procedure helps tighten the
middle area of the neck by realigning the tissues and suturing several
small muscles in place to hold them in a better position. Excess skin
after fat removal may be removed with a procedure known as
cervicoplasty; this procedure cuts and lifts the skin so that it can be
sutured in place.
Dr. Zarrabi has performed dozens of neck lifts with great success
throughout his career, and offers patients an individualized,
customized approach so that they can look forward to natural-looking
results.
