Neck Lift IN BANGKOK, THAILAND
A neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical solution to improve visible signs of aging in the jawline and neck. Youthful contours in the neck and face can be lost due to a variety of factors, such as stress, weight gain, environmental conditions, and heredity.
If you are bothered by excess skin, heavy wrinkles or other signs of aging, neck lift surgery can help to effectively balance and smooth out the neck and chin areas.
- Excess fat and skin relaxation in the lower face that creates jowls
- Excess fatty deposits underneath the chin
- Loose neck skin
- Muscle banding in the neck, which creates abnormal contours
Neck lift procedures are designed to suit the needs of each patient on an individual basis. If you feel that you might benefit from a neck lift, ask for a consultation with a plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon.
A neck lift is commonly combined with a lower facelift, although it can also be performed as an individual procedure. Depending on the severity of the skin excess, the procedure may be performed by liposuction plus tightening of the neck muscle under the chin.
SURGERY
The surgery begins with a small incision under the jaw to tighten the skin and the underlying muscles of the neck (the platysma muscles).
The surgeon will then insert a small liposuction cannula for removing excess fat and contouring the chin and the neck. If you have a lot of loose skin, an incision behind the ears may be necessary to perform skin re-draping around the neck.
Sometimes it is also necessary to treat the submaxillary glands by trimming the enlarged or drooping part of the gland. The neck is then shaped for a natural and youthful result.
During your consultation, your surgeon will examine your neck and discuss your goals and create an individual surgery plan for you.
The whole procedure takes about 3-4 hours to perform. The surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and requires an overnight stay in hospital, although this can vary case by case.
