While the face may remain wrinkle-free, some patients deal with the signs of aging in the neck and jowl area first and foremost. Sagging skin underneath the chin, or “turkey neck,” can develop regardless of one’s weight or product use. In some cases, this skin can be a genetic occurrence. Dr. Jennifer Emmett of Emmett Plastic Surgery is a professional who is ready and willing to help patients restore their youthful appearance and address their neck area with a neck lift.
What is a neck lift?
A neck lift is a procedure that is performed to tighten the skin in the neck area, including the muscles, to remove bands of sagging skin that can develop. In addition, some patients may want to address excess fat underneath the chin that can contribute to the appearance of a “double chin.” Treatments such as liposuction may be completed at the same time to remove this fat, while pulling the skin tighter to achieve a more sculpted neck and profile appearance.
