Never in your wildest dreams did you imagine that you’d be surfing the internet for information on a neck lift. But here you are. You caught a glimpse of yourself in the mirror and noticed, once too many times, the loose skin, subtle sagging, and faint lines that seem to appear more prominently around your neck than anywhere else.
You remember how your dad developed what many lightheartedly refer to as a “turkey neck,” and, as much as you still admire him to this day, that’s the last trait you want to inherit.
Don’t worry. Our board-certified plastic surgeons at Clearfork Plastic Surgery have you covered.
Modern cosmetic procedures offer several options to address aging in the neck. One of the most effective options is a neck lift, but before you take the next step, it helps to know whether you are a good candidate for the procedure.
You Might Be a Good Neck Lift Candidate If …
You have loose or sagging skin on your neck
Even our necks can lose elasticity. As we age, collagen and elastin are typically in short supply. This leads to sagging skin under your chin and/or along the neckline. However subtle or prominent these changes have become, having a conversation with a plastic surgeon is worth it.
Your jawline isn’t as defined as it used to be
Everyone wants to maintain a strong, defined jawline. But it’s often associated with youth, and as the tissues in our neck and lower face begin to sag, the jawline becomes less distinct. The goal of a neck lift is to tighten underlying muscles and tissues and remove anything that contributes to a less-than-ideal jawline.
You have vertical neck bands
If you’ve noticed vertical cords or bands running down the front of your neck, a neck lift is definitely something you should consider.
You feel like your neck makes you look older than you really are
The neck is often one of the first places where visible signs of aging appear. Even if your face still looks youthful, sagging skin or neck wrinkles can create an overall older appearance. A neck lift can restore that balanced, youthful look and feel.
You are in good health and have realistic expectations
A neck lift is best suited for individuals who are in good physical health. Any underlying conditions can interfere with the success of surgery and healing. This can include, but is not limited to, high blood pressure, uncontrolled diabetes, bleeding disorders, or other medical issues. Your surgeon will review your medical history, current health status, and whether or not you are approaching your neck lift with realistic expectations to determine whether the procedure is safe for you.
If you are concerned about your neck’s appearance, it may be worth scheduling a consultation with a plastic surgeon. They can evaluate your concerns, discuss your goals, and recommend the best treatment options for your situation.
