Neck Lift

As you age the tissues of the neck become lax.  Relaxation of the neck muscles can result in vertical bands running from the chin to the base of the neck. Neck fat tends to descend and bulge with aging.

Unfortunately the fat under the chin is often hereditary and unaffected by dieting and weight loss. Younger individuals may derive benefits from isolated liposuction since their tissues are still elastic and can conform to the new thinner contour of the neck following fatty tissue removal.

Older individuals who have undesirable excess fat and flaccid neck muscles may require a neck lift with or without a facelift.

A small incision is made just underneath your chin to remove the excess fat and tighten the muscles of the neck.  This improves the definition of your neck and chin.
