Plastic surgery used to be done to correct physical deformities or defects caused by disease and injury or at birth. Today, facial plastic surgery is used more to correct the signs of aging by tightening loose skin on the face and neck.
Aesthetic facial plastic surgery is called a facelift or rhytidectomy and gives the patient a more youthful glow. The smallest needs are provided by a mini facelift cosmetic surgery where the smallest incisions are most suitable. The most common facial plastic surgery procedures are: facelift, eye lift, and neck lift.
Neck plastic surgery
A facial plastic surgeon performs a neck lift on the neck area when signs of aging begin to show or after drastic weight loss. For this condition, it will work best when done in combination with liposuction. Liposuction will remove excess fat, cervicoplasty will remove excess skin, and platysmaplasty will then result in tightening of the neck muscles.
laser neck surgery
Laser devices can also be used to correct loose skin in the neck area, correct the appearance of double chins and horizontal bands, while tightening the neck muscles. In the laser procedure, the outer layers of skin are also removed, revealing smoother, younger-looking skin on the neck. These results are the same as traditional facial cosmetic surgery.
Laser neck surgery is ideal for patients with good facial bone structure, but not if the elasticity of the neck has disappeared. Here, the doctor would place the patient under local anesthesia and a mild sedative.
