Neck Lift in Northern Virginia Offers Amazing Results
When we think of aging and preventing the look of aging the first thing we think of is often wrinkles. Hence, Botox. Hence, filler. Wrinkles, cheeks, forehead: we want to keep the age off.
However, maybe a neck lift should be near the top of the list.
Even before those other signs of aging, your neck might be telling people your age and it might be telling people youre older than you actually are.
THE NECK, JOWLS, TURKEY NECK, AND AGING
Depending on how your body deposits fat, you may be developing jowls fairly early in life and you might even be hit with the dreaded turkey neck.
The traditional procedure has been the neck lift, a way of tightening skin, removing excess fat, and tightening the muscles as well. But contouring has actually grown quite sophisticated.
Certain procedures, such as a platysmaplasty, allows tightening of the muscle without actually removing any skin.
Meanwhile a cervicoplasty removes excess skin without drastically affecting the muscle.
These are procedures that can have the dramatic effects that cosmetic surgery provides without nearly the same downtime that a traditional neck or facelift would require.
AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR A NECK LIFT?
If youre leading a busy lifestyle but want to affect a problem area such as your neck, then these new sophisticated procedures might be just what you need.
Typical recovery time from these procedures is two weeks. Ideal candidates for these procedures should be in good health prior to the procedure.
Ideally, they are not smokers. They should have realistic expectations for how the procedure will affect them aesthetically, and have a frank talk with their doctor beforehand to make sure all parties involved know exactly what the aims of the procedure are.
