Necklift

In a female, a well-defined neck silhouette is a sign of youthfulness and beauty. In the male, a firm neckline is a natural sign of youth and confidence. As one ages, a combination of loose, hanging skin and the accumulation of fat under the chin contribute to the loss of the well-defined neck you once had. Whilechanges in the neck, like those of a 'turkey wattle', are usually corrected by a combined face/necklift; early changes in the neck can often be addressed with a more limited mini-procedure.

A necklift can redefine the neck by removing excessive fullness under the chin (liposculpture); by tightening the superficial muscles of the neck that cause banding and sagging (platysmaplasty); and also by redraping the loose skin. The changes are immediate and easily tolerated by the patient. A chin surgery or genioplasty can often be combined to achieve a more defined jaw and minimize the appearance of a double chin, if the chin is small.

The procedure is accomplished under a sedation/anesthetic technique and has a rapid recovery. The office will explain all the aspects of the surgery and the recovery features to you so you are well prepared. Communication is a key feature of the Dr. Wittenberg's office.
