How is a neck lift performed?
During a neck lift and neck liposuction, small incisions are made along the hairline and behind the ears to lift and tighten the neck muscles. Neck liposuction is performed to remove excess fat from the neck area, enhancing the contour and definition of the neck and jawline. Excess skin is removed, and the remaining skin is repositioned to create a smoother, more youthful-looking neck. Techniques such as the traditional neck lift and platysmaplasty may be used depending on the patient's needs.
