Neck Lift Las Vegas

Many of us pay little attention to our necks until they start to show signs of aging. Sagging skin can age you by making your neck look older and hide the contours of your chin and jawline. neck lift firms loose skin, removes fat and tightens muscles for a more sculpted neck and jawline. This procedure can restore the youthful shape of your neck and jaw to make you feel more confident. 

WHAT IS A NECK LIFT?

A neck lift is a procedure for correcting skin laxity around the neck and under the chin. It also addresses stubborn fat that accumulates in this area, giving the appearance of a double chin. A neck lift also treats separated or loosened muscles to restore a tight, contoured shape. A neck lift can be performed alone or with a facelift for full facial rejuvenation.

THE BASICS OF A NECK LIFT

  1. Dr. Stile performs neck lifts in his state-of-the-art facility in Las Vegas. This procedure is performed under general anesthesia and can take up to four hours, depending on the details of your treatment plan. – “This is a real procedure that will give you real results.” F.Stile
  2. The procedure uses discretely placed incisions. These are usually located under the chin or around the ears. These incisions allow Dr. Stile to lift the skin, reposition the underlying muscles and then remove any excess skin.
  3. Dr. Stile will use liposuction to remove excess fat from under the chin. Fat in this area usually does not respond to a healthy lifestyle or other efforts, so liposuction is often needed to achieve a slimmer neckline.
  4. Dr. Stile will repair the platysmal muscles that cause the appearance of neck bands. This dramatically improves the appearance of an aging neck. Reducing these bands provides a more youthful appearance.
