A lower facelift, commonly known as a neck lift, is a surgical procedure that aims to restore youthfull appearance and reduce visible signs of aging in the neck and jawline.

There are different reasons why the face and neck can lose their youthful appearance, such as genetics, gravity or environmental factors. Even if the upper part of the face still looks good, some individuals may notice that their neck skin has become excessively wrinkled, they have a double chin or jowl lines. If the neck area doesn’t match the upper face, a neck lift can be the best option. We can also perform neck lift and face lift during one surgery. For most women combination of the necklift and midface lift is the best option. For men, isolated neck lift maybe all that is needed to achieve great results.

Neck lift aims to improve the appearance of the neck by removing excess skin and fat, tightening the underlying platysma muscles, and repositioning the skin. Neck lift can be either performed through the incision hidden around the ears and a small access incision below the chin or as an „anterior neck lift” where the small incision is made only below the chin.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and protecting your skin from the sun can help achieve rejuvenated and youthful appearance of your neck. As the bruising and swelling diminish, you will notice the visible improvements of the neck lift. Not only will you look more rested and youthful, but you may also experience a boost in confidence. It is very important to follow surgeon’s postoperative instructions to ensure successful healing.
