Reversing One Of The Most Unfortunate Signs Of Aging, A Neck Lift Can Transform You From A Turkey Into A Swan.

If Einstein’s Theory of Relativity taught us anything, it’s that gravity is king. This natural phenomenon, which gives weight to physical objects, cannot be stopped. One adverse consequence of its weight is that the unsupported parts our body are pulled on by this force. The neck and jawline, in particular, can be an unfortunate victim of this downward shift. Neck lift surgery, however, can reverse this nasty side-effect of nature, giving you back that long and slender swan-like appearance.

A neck lift is, for all intents and purposes, the lower half of a face lift. This procedure is performed through a minimal incision that is made behind the ear, at the hairline. The muscles are then tightened by pulling them back and suspending them from the area immediately behind the ear. If necessary, fat from the area is suctioned. The skin of the neck and jawline is then elevated, and the excess removed. This technique supports significant lift and tightening to the silhouette, all the while keeping any signs of a scar hidden behind the ear.

Neck lift surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure that can be done under IV or local sedation. A neck lift is generally completed in under two hours, and recovery takes anywhere from 7 to 10 days. While gravity and age tend to be the most common underlying cause of the “waddle,” weight loss and genetic predisposition can also exaggerate the problem. Therefore, anyone who has sagging or loss of tone in their neck and/or jawline is the appropriate candidate for this procedure.

The heavy and unsightly appearance of a sagging neck can be one of the most egregious signs of aging. Even though gravity and time cannot be stopped, their effects can be rectified. A strong neck and jawline can be yours again. Contact us today to schedule your free neck lift consultation with Dr. Frank C. Madda, and wave goodbye to that waddle!
