 Neck RejuvenationThe neck has long been neglected when it comes to facial rejuvenation. More often than not the neck is left untreated, leaving the patient with a line of demarcation along the mandible separating a rejuvenated face from an aged neck. Neck rejuvenation involves targeting all of the layers of tissue that are affected by the aging process and is usually performed in conjunction with facial rejuvenation, but can be an isolated procedure. Neck rejuvenation can be nonsurgical or surgical, and in either case, combinations of these treatment options is used to create outstanding results. What conditions can be corrected with what procedures?
The Procedures Neck rejuvenation procedures are performed in our office, some in our surgical suite, using local anesthesia. Each procedure may be combined in order to maximize improvement. Lasers can be used to tighten the skin that is only a little loose, while neck liposuction is accomplished through tiny incisions placed behind the ears and under the chin. With Local Lipo, neck liposuction under local anesthesia, little straw-like cannulas are used to suction the fat away. Local Lipo will often stimulate collagen growth resulting in tighter skin as well. A Local Lift be the best approach if the excess skin is significant. The skin is pulled up and back and the excess skin is removed. This provides a new, more pleasing neck and jaw line.
