Who is a Neck Lift Recommended For?

• Ideal for men and women showing signs of neck aging such as sagging skin, excess fat, or loss of jawline definition.

• Typically performed on patients over 40, though younger individuals with genetic predisposition may also benefit.

• Recommended for patients who want to improve the appearance of the neck without extensive facial surgery.

Techniques of Neck Lift Surgery

1. Traditional Neck Lift

   • Incisions are made behind the ears and sometimes under the chin.

   • Excess skin and fat are removed, and underlying muscles are tightened.

   • Skin is repositioned for a natural, smooth contour.

     
     

2. Mini Neck Lift

   • Less invasive; targets specific areas of sagging in the lower face and neck.

   • Smaller incisions with reduced recovery time.

     
     

3. Neck Liposuction Combined with Lift

   • Fat deposits in the neck are removed via liposuction.

   • Often combined with muscle tightening for a more defined jawline.
