Neck Lift

Throughout the aging process, the face and neck are two areas particularly vulnerable to sagging, wrinkling and damage from sun exposure. A neck lift involves excess skin removal, muscle tightening and the removal of fat deposits with liposuction. This procedure helps restore firmness to the neck and enhances the definition of the chin.
