As men and women get older, many experience signs of aging on their necks. Because a lot of people worry about wrinkles on their face, the neck is neglected until it is too late. When it becomes evident that a laser liposuction or skin tightening procedure on the neck cannot be enough to get the neck looking youthful again, a neck lift is in order.

Many individuals first begin to notice the aging of their neck around the age of 40. This is when their face and their cheeks begin to sag. Men might notice jowls and women might notice marionette lines, but both may discover that their neck is just not as tight as it was in their 20s.

The Silhouette Lift is a fantastic solution to this age-old problem. The revolutionary technique is performed without general anesthesia and without the need for hospitalization. Just local anesthesia and about 45 minutes time is all that is needed for this job to be complete. Recovery is also very speedy. Typically, a patient is back to their normal activities in two days time and within two weeks you can see a soft and natural recovery on the face, as all the post-op bruising and swelling has subsided. This procedure is revolutionary because it uses a very special kind of thread which is inserted under anesthesia and used to tighten jowls and shape the cheek and neck area. It is inserted along the upper side portion of the head through the cheek, but it is still a minimally invasive procedure.

With the Combination Neck Lift, the Silhouette threads are used, and a traditional neck lift is also performed – so the patient gets the best of both worlds. With a neck lift, an incision is made above the lower part of the ear and is extended to the hairline behind the ear. The entire muscle is moved up and any excess skin is cut and removed. The initial incision is made with the utmost care, in a natural crease so no unsightly scars are left.

Patients interested in the Combination Neck Lift should call today to schedule a consultation and learn if the procedure is right for them.
