Neck Rejuvenation
The first thing the patient notices in the aging process is the neck. Most commonly in older patients, loose skin is produced in the lower neck area. In younger patients, excess fat is usually located throughout the neck area.
In order to correct these problems, either liposuction or neck lift would be required. Younger patients will require only liposuction to reduce the fullness or fat located throughout the neck. Skin contraction following this procedure will produce a nice contour. Older patients will require a neck lift. This will require small incisions behind the ear and in the hair line. Excellent results are accomplished in both procedures. Minimal down time is required for both procedures. Most patients need 3-5 days before going back to work.
