Real Patient Results
A neck lift can address visible signs of aging by smoothing and refining the contours of the neck to create a more youthful appearance. Over time skin naturally loses some of its elasticity and may begin to sag and wrinkle. You may not be ready for a full facelift yet, but a neck lift can enhance your facial profile and boost your confidence. Keystone OMS provides neck lifts for the people of Hermitage, PA and all surrounding communities.
The Procedure Process Explained
A neck lift or lower rhytidectomy is a common surgical cosmetic procedure. As an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Clemenza has the extensive understanding of your facial anatomy required to plan and perform a neck lift. He will examine your neck and develop a detailed treatment plan, including recommendations for anesthesia to keep you comfortable and relaxed. A small incision is made behind each ear and sometimes under the chin. Excess fat and skin are removed, and tissue is repositioned and firmed to achieve a more sculpted and shapelier contour. The skin is smoothed back into place, and the incisions are carefully sutured closed to minimize any visible scarring. Any scars are generally hidden within the hairline or creases around the ear.
What Are the Benefits of Getting a Neck Lift?
A neck lift can decrease undesirable sagging skin and fat deposits under the chin and around the jowls. This procedure provides a more targeted elimination of loose skin than a facelift for patients only concerned with their jawline and neck. It can minimize the appearance of a “turkey wattle” by removing the excess skin that hangs down and adding greater definition. Tightening the skin can also reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles across the neck for a more youthful appearance. In addition, a neck lift can be combined with other cosmetic procedures like dermal fillers for more comprehensive results.
How Long Will My Results Last?
It can take several weeks for the final results to take full effect, but they may last for 10 to 15 years or more if you take good care of yourself and your skin. However, a neck lift is not a permanent solution, and your skin may begin to sag again as a natural part of aging and require follow-up treatment in the future.
