Necklift
Many patients wish to have just a neck-lift, as this is the area of greatest concern for them. Often patients are told that this is a straight-forward procedure and can be done with minimal incisions, located below the jaw line and behind the ear.
In my experience, it is impossible to achieve any worthwhile or lasting correction of an undesirable neck appearance using only those types of incisions. With the correct incisions and the proper procedure, the skin laxity, excess fat, and anterior neck folds can all be addressed and corrected. However, a well-done necklift requires both superior and posterior lifting. This requires an incision just in front of the ear in order to work out the excess skin. This is the only way to get a truly effective and long-lasting result. This scar will be very minimal and will allow for an excellent and extremely natural result to the neck and submental area.
