Necklift
Who is a Good Candidate for a Neck lift?
- Patients with loose and sagging skin of the neck.
- Patients with excess fat in the neck.
- Patients with double chin.

- There are several options of neck lift procedures ranging from:
- Liposuction of fat
- Excision of submental (neck) fat and tightening of muscle.

- A neck lift is usually part of the standard facelift surgery where the muscles of the neck are tightened, excess fat is removed and the skin is re-draped to the re-juvenated contour of the neck.
- You can go home the next day.
- You can shower the day after surgery.
- Minimal bruising and swelling which disappears by 7-10 days.
- Sutures are removed after one week.
