Why do patient choose Neck Lift Surgery?
Neck lift procedure is performed to enhance the appearance of the neck. As people get older, signs of ageing begin to show around the neck area, resulting in wrinkles, sagging skin and folds developing. It can occur that the neck begins to show signs of ageing before the face, creating an undesirable look. The neck can also begin to sag when there has been a lot of weight loss whereby the neck takes longer to adjust to the loss of weight, resulting in the sagging of the skin. The sagging of the skin around the neck area can also occur as a result of genetics and can therefore occur in both young and old people. After the neck lift, the change of appearance of the neck results in a youthful look for the patient.

Neck lift surgery can be carried out with either liposuction to remove excess fat, or by repositioning and removing loose skin, depending on the desired results. Most often, surgical incisions are usually made behind the ear and under the chin and are extremely discrete, however this varies depending on the targeted area of the neck lift.
