The lower face and neck lift is a common procedure for facial rejuvenation. There are three areas to address in the aging neck: the skin, fat, and muscle.
Some patients develop excess neck skin which is excised via incisions behind the ear and into the hairline. Excess fat of the neck is removed with liposuction or with direct excision. Muscle laxity which normal seen as platysma bands on either side of the midline, are plicated (tightened) with sutures.
The lower face and neck lift helps to improve the neck contour as well as improve the jowls.
