The neck area is often ignored, compared to the face, when it comes to cosmetic treatments. However, the neck does change with age and eventually, it can impact your appearance. Sagging skin, fat deposits, pronounced neck cords and other changes can occur on your neck. If your neck is resembling a turkey waddle, you may be a good candidate for plastic surgery. The pēkomd cosmetic surgery and rejuvenation center offers neck lift surgery at our facility in Toledo, OH.
While a facelift can improve the upper neck and jawline, it does not address the entire neck area. Loose skin, lines and wrinkles are common on the neck, resulting in a much older appearance. If the face has been rejuvenated with cosmetic procedures but the neck has not, it can show your age. Neck lift surgery can restore a firmer, more youthful neckline, chin and jaw to improve your overall appearance.
Lower Rhytidectomy
A neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy, is used to remove excess skin under the chin and around the neck. Many people notice hanging skin under the chin and on the front of the neck as they get older. A lower rhytidectomy removes excess skin and tightens the tissue on the neck. This can create a slimmer, more svelte neck that looks years younger. The chin and jawline are firmer and more defined, improving the facial profile and overall appearance.
Neck lift surgery usually uses incisions behind the ears in the hairline, but some patients may need small incisions under the chin or on the neck to remove excess skin. Dr. Koltz is an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon who uses advanced techniques to provide natural and discreet results for his neck lift patients. During your lower rhytidectomy consultation, he will discuss how best to rejuvenate your neck area, which may include combining liposuction and other procedures with your lift surgery.
Tightening and lifting the neck skin and tissue can restore a more youthful chin, jawline and neck. To explore lower rhytidectomy options, contact our team at pēkomd. Call our cosmetic surgery and rejuvenation center in Toledo, OH, to schedule your neck lift consultation.
