Neck Lift
The neck is an essential component of facial beauty and balance. A neck lift refines the jawline and restores a graceful transition between the face and neck by addressing excess skin, muscle laxity, and fullness beneath the chin.
A neck lift is designed to improve laxity beneath the chin and along the neck. It may address excess skin, subcutaneous fat, platysmal banding, muscle laxity, submandibular fullness, and loss of definition between the chin, jawline, and neck.
The neck is anatomically complex. A poorly defined neck may result from one or several factors:
Skin laxity.
Excess submental fat.
Separated or prominent platysma muscles.
A low or blunt cervicomental angle.
A small or retrusive chin.
Prominent submandibular glands.
Deep neck fat.
Skeletal anatomy.
Descent of the lower face and jowls.
For this reason, a neck lift should not be planned based on skin alone. The operation must address the anatomical source of fullness or laxity.
