Neck Lift

A neck lift restores a tight, youthful appearance to skin under the chin and neck area which has lost elasticity and exhibits banding. There are a number of procedures available to enhance the appearance of the neck. They range from minimal in-office treatments with no down time, to more invasive procedures requiring anesthesia and time off for recovery. Aging of the neck is usually a combination of loose skin and muscle and some excess fat. Neck-lift plastic surgery may be performed a variety of procedures, depending on the individual. Neck-lift procedures may include liposuction to remove fat, Cervicoplasty to remove excess skin, and platysmaplasty to remove or tighten neck muscles. The location of the procedure may be the doctor's office, outpatient surgery center, or hospital. Since there may be more than one procedure performed during a neck-lift, your time in surgery may be one hour to several hours. Perform the procedure with local anesthesia or general anesthesia. Endoscopic neck-lift, an instrument visually guides the surgeon through the procedure. The advantages of an endoscopic procedure may include a smaller incision, no general anesthesia, reduced bruising, and faster recovery.

Q: Are silicone breast implants dangerous? A: Since the silicone scare of the 1980s, many research studies demonstrate silicone implants are safe. The implant shell and the composition of the silicone gel have changed in recent years and there are far fewer leaks reported. Silicone implants remain more natural to the touch relative to their saline counterparts, but the ultimate decision rests with the patient. More Answers for Questions
