Neck Lift In Beverly Hills, CA
Award-winning, celebrity facial plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, New York City, and Dubai
Schedule A ConsultationAs we age the elasticity of our skin diminishes and platysma muscles loosen. This can result in the appearance of sagging skin often referred to as “Turkey Neck” and the appearance of vertical bands in the neck area. Weight loss can also have this same effect.
Neck Lift surgery can include tightening and removal of excess skin, removal of unwanted fat that may have gathered in the neck area, as well as tightening of the platysma bands.
This procedure can enhance your facial structure and provide a more youthful appearance. In some cases, a Neck Lift alone may not address a patient’s concerns and a facelift may be recommended in conjunction with a Neck Lift to achieve an overall desired result.
