What is a Neck Lift?
A neck lift, sometimes referred to as a lower rhytidectomy, is a procedure that is designed to restore a youthful appearance to the neck, chin and jawline. This procedure effectively removes excess skin that has lost its firmness and elasticity due to aging. Surgery also improves horizontal banding that commonly appears on the neck over time. This will give the neck and jawline a smoother, sleeker look overall.
What is a Neck Lift for?
Dr. Schneider may recommend a neck lift to address the following concerns:
- Loose skin and isolated deposits of fat around the neck
- A “turkey wattle” that gives you an aged appearance
- The appearance of a double chin due to loose, hanging skin
- Jowls along the jawline caused by skin laxity
- Horizontal bands and folds around the neck
