For most people with loose neck skin or a "wattle", they choose to get rid of it to look younger or to wear certain clothes or accessories more comfortably, but most people want to do so without having a facelift. If this is you, you may feel that you are too young or old for an invasive procedure, are not able to afford the prolonged recovery time, or only want targeted improvement of your neck region. There are less invasive options to rid the "wattle," there are neck rejuvenation techniques available.
With neck rejuvenation, you can look younger younger without the financial cost and downtime associated with a standard facelift.
As most of us get older, we often loose definition in our chin and jaw line due to fatty deposits, weakening muscles and loose skin where the neck and chin once made a right angle. By improving the neck region, you can enhance your profile, making you look years younger and clothes and fashion accessories such as ties, turtlenecks, and necklaces can be worn more comfortably.
Neck Rejuvenation Procedure
Skin in the neck area is different from skin on other parts of the body because it maintains its elasticity and will contract after it is released from underlying muscle. Fat removal through an incision under the chin and behind the ears can be combined with muscle tightening and freeing the skin from the muscle, depending on the degree of aging and your specific characteristics.
People who are younger tend tohave more skin elasticity and have a "wattle" because of an overload in fat deposits just under the skin, and in most cases can get by with just liposuction. Middle-aged people, generally have fat deposits, as well as, loose neck muscles and skin, they require fat removal plus muscle tightening. For people in the over 75 crowd, they usually need more contouring in the neck region and require a facelift where excess skin is removed.
