Neck Lift
The neck is one of the first places in the
body to show signs of aging. Often, this is done in the form of sagging, with wrinkles and folds showing where the skin
seems to be draping in a not-so-youthful way. Beauty lovers who
have double chin are
frantically looking for some kind of anti aging treatment to get rid of those inevitable signs of
aging. These days, many
cosmetic surgery procedures are being performed to treat people just like you. One of these is called neck lift, and has
provided a more youthful face to many people all over America. The role of the neck lift is to give you
a tight, youthful appearance to skin under the chin and neck
area.
Neck lift Procedure
Usually, a neck lift is actually one of a few procedures that surgeons
specializing in cosmetic procedures perform in an effort to help rejuvenate a person’s
face. A lifting of the
neck region is also known as a platysmaplasty. During this particular procedure, a local anesthetic s used to
dull the pain from the patient’s conscious. A tiny incision is then made, usually in
places that are rarely seen, so as to mask the surgery.
The skin is carefully peeled back, so that the surgeon may work on the platysma
muscle which is found in the neck. Any sagging of the neck is usually due to the weakening—and therefore, sagging—of this
muscle. Once it is exposed,
the doctor may be able to tighten it, and then close the incision. Excess fat or skin can be removed at this time
as well, so as to smooth the previously wrinkled areas, and provide a thinner, more youthful look to the
patient.
Neck lift Contraindications
The most important factor that must be considered in a neck lift is the quality of
skin that a patient has. Those
with especially thick or think skin may not be particularly qualified for such a
procedure. A personal
consultation with the doctor will prove to be helpful in deciding if the patient’s skin is
appropriate.
Neck lift Price
On average, factoring in facility fees, doctor and anesthesiologist fees, as well
as geographical location, a platysmaplasty may cost an individual about $5,000-$8,000. Further treatments to complete the lifting
process may add on to such a total.
Neck lift Complications
There are few major complications associated with a neck lift, but these will
include things such as hematoma, seroma, infection, scarring, and skin irregularities. Possibly the most
common complication, as
is found with many plastic surgery procedures is patient dissatisfaction, due to unrealistic
expectations. If you experience serious or painful symptoms, your Physician will prescribe you an
appropriate treatment to fight against these health issues.
