What is a neck lift?

A neck lift is actually a set of procedures used to enhance the appearance of your neck:

• Liposuction is the procedure t remove excess fat
• Cervicoplasty is the procedure used to remove excess skin
• Platysmaplasty removes or alters neck muscles

Enhancing your look with a neck lift

For many people, the neck is the first area to show age. For people who have lost weight, an unfortunate side effect may be leftover, loose-hanging skin that has lost its elasticity. Whether it is band lines, excess skin, or fat, a neck lift can bring your neck back into shape.

What to Expect During Your Consultation

The success and safety of your neck lift procedure depends very much on your complete candidness during your consultation. You’ll be asked a number of questions about your health, desires and lifestyle.

Be prepared to discuss:

• Why you want the surgery, your expectations and desired outcome
• Medical conditions, drug allergies and medical treatments
• Use of current medications, vitamins, herbal supplements, alcohol, tobacco and drugs
• Previous surgeries

Your surgeon may also:

• Evaluate your general health status and any pre-existing health conditions or risk factors
• Take photographs for your medical record
• Discuss your options and recommend a course of treatment
• Discuss likely outcomes of liposuction and any risks or potential complications
