Neck and Jawline: Signs of Aging
The neck and jawline are often tell-tale signs of aging. As we age, several factors contribute to visible changes in this area:
- Loss of muscle tone: The platysma muscle, located in the neck, weakens and loses its ability to hold the skin taut, leading to sagging.
- Decreased Skin Elasticity: Skin loses its natural elasticity, making it more susceptible to wrinkles and folds.
- Fat Accumulation: Deep fat tissue can accumulate beneath the platysma, contributing to jowl formation.
- Bulky deep muscles under the chin
- Protrusion of the Salivary glands
Neck Lift Surgery
This procedure aims to rejuvenate the neck and jawline, addressing concerns like:
- Loose Neck Skin: Tightens and smooths the skin, creating a more defined neck contour.
- Jowl Formation : Removes excess fat tissue and tightens underlying muscles to eliminate jowels.
- Loss of jawline definition: Improves jawline definition by addressing sagging skin and underlying tissues.
Procedure and Recovery.
Deep necklift is typically performed under general anesthesia ,it can either be perforemed as a single surgery or can be combined with deep plane facelift procedure.
Specific techniques and recovery can vary, but generally involve:
