A necklift can help patients create a younger look for their entire face. As the skin breaks down and ages, the skin in the neck area can become loose, causing the neck to sag and wrinkle. While there are no current alternative uses for a necklift, this procedure has much to offer a patient concerned about aging.

A necklift is a surgical procedure used to tighten skin around the neck and chin, including the skin that droops to form "jowls" or "turkey wattles." A necklift, especially when combined with other facial lifts, can restore a youthful appearance to the face. But it is still surgery, and so the decision to undergo a necklift should only be made with careful considerations of the benefits and drawbacks.

A necklift is a series of cosmetic procedures used to enhance the appearance of the neck. First, a cervicoplasty is performed to remove excess skin. Then, your doctor performs a platysmaplasty, a procedure which allows your surgeon to tighten the neck muscles. Although it is a relatively minor procedure, a necklift is not for everyone. Here are some things to consider when you are determining your eligibility for the procedure.
