| Neck Lift |
The eyes and face are not the only places that can lose their natural vitality. Harsh environmental conditions as well as severe lifestyle changes such as rapid weight loss can cause skin on the neck to droop and sag, making people look significantly older than they truly are. Neck lift surgery can help create a thinner and more youthful neck line, subtly improving the patient's appearance and thus restoring self confidence.
The Neck Lift Procedure
During the neck lift procedure, small incisions are created underneath the chin or behind the ears, depending on the cosmetic needs and goals of the patient. Dr. Beam then uses a variety of techniques to reduce the prominence of wrinkles and folds. Liposuction can be used to slim the neck's contours. Cervicoplasty can be used to remove excess skin on the neck and pull skin farther back to eliminate wrinkles and creases. Platysmaplasty can be used to tighten the neck muscles, producing a firmer and more youthful appearance. The methods used during neck lift surgery are customized to the specific needs and goals of each patient. The procedure can be completed within a few hours and results in a slimmer, younger-looking, and more attractive neck line. Neck lift surgery can be combined with dermal injections for optimal results, or it can be performed along with the other face procedures, such as rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, or lip augmentation, offered at our Hartford-area practice to produce a complete cosmetic makeover. |
