In this day and age of injectible wrinkle-reducers and high-tech modalities, it is easy to feel confused about the best way to handle certain concerns, such as a “turkey neck.” For patients near Campbell, CA and the office of Dr. Regina Rosenthal, this choice is facilitated with the fullest extent of information and a thorough assessment of need. When lasting results are the ultimate goal, neck lift surgery may be the ideal method of correction.

What is Neck Lift Surgery?

You could liken neck lift surgery to abdominoplasty, through which superficial skin and tissues are removed, and underlying muscle structure is tightened. This “facial rejuvenating” procedure is approached with consideration of the features just north of the neck, and the harmony that can be created as a result. Men and women who seek neck lift surgery have the desire to look younger. In some cases, this means that we must also look at other areas, such as a sagging jaw line or loss of elasticity on the cheeks and face.

With a neck lift, the sagging or pulling that has resulted from gravity and age, and the loss of volume or the accumulation of submental fat can corrected to reveal more youthful beauty.

Factors Considered Before Neck Lift Surgery

It may seem as though lifting and tightening the tissues on the neck is simple, but the procedure requires attention to detail in order to achieve the desired outcome. Some of the factors that Dr. Rosenthal considers during consultation include:

• Bone structure
• Degree of laxity in the skin
• Ethnicity, skin type, and the potential for scarring
• Medical history and general health
