Neck lift

The neck contour is a critical part of the elegant and youthful appearance of the face. It can be altered either by volume or laxity, or a combination of both.

Our research in the characteristics of the neck volume and surface relationships have led us to define different treatment protocols to provide safety and to reflect the needs of individual patient features.

In some instances, volume reduction in the superficial and deeper planes can be sufficient to produce dramatic changes, without the need for skin tightening.

In other situations, facelift and neck lift interventions need to be combined to produce the best outcome.

The broader categories of neck contouring through neck lift are:

• Anterior neck lift, with no skin reduction
• Isolated neck lift, with mostly skin tightening behind the ears
• Formal or typical neck lift which also involves skin tightening with scars in front of the ears.
