Eliminate Fat And Wrinkles With A Neck Lift

Age shows in every part of your face and body. We all know you can date somebody by the look of their eyes, wrinkles around the face and overall body shape. Age also shows in areas where you'd least expect to find it. That is why this plastic surgery procedure is growing in popularity.

This procedure aims to readjust and remove tissue around the neck that gives it a sagging or banded appearance. For people who have just lost weight, this method is used to remove leftover skin and give a more natural appearance. There are three types of neck lifts, and each is used to address a different problem.

With Liposuction

A little liposuction works great with a neck lift. First, your doctor uses lipo to remove excess fat. This is a tiny operation, not like the full-scale liposuctions performed on some areas of the body. Once the fat is removed, the doctor nips and tucks the tissue here and there, giving it a natural look.

Cervicoplasty

This is used to get rid of the hated "double chin" that we develop over the years. This flesh hangs down just below the chin and makes you look ten years older than you really are. With a cervicoplasty, small incisions are made under the chin and ears. The tissue is stretched and held in place with sutures and a special kind of glue.

Platysmaplasty

This is used to treat bands around the neck. This is a major sign of aging and many people consider it unattractive. It is caused by muscle tissue naturally drooping with age. This method readjusts the muscle tissue and the bands disappear.

Talk to your plastic surgeon about which of these surgeries is right for you. This is a highly individualized procedure, so let your doctor have a good look at your neck and overall body shape, and they can determine which operation will get you the results you like.

In the plastic surgery world, this method is one of the fastest and easiest types of surgery, and the results are wonderful. Usually the operation takes on 2-3 hours. The incisions are minimal which means very little scarring. Like all plastic surgery treatments, you will have to allow recovery time and follow doctor's orders carefully.

This surgery also offers the least noticeable results. Everyone can tell if you've had a face lift, but with this type of lift, the results are more subtle. Friends will notice that you appear younger and thinner, but they won't quite be able to put their finger on what has changed. This is another reason why this procedure is popular. The change is natural and barely noticeable.
