Cosmetic and Plastic Surgeons

I was looking for general information on neck lift surgery when I stumbled upon some information that caught my eye on an Oklahoma City plastic surgeon’s website. It says, “To hold the skin in its new position, strips of skin are cut away and the resultant opening is closed by drawing the edges together. The strips are removed in locations that will not be apparent after healing. Both sides of the face are treated to keep a symmetrical appearance.”

A neck lift is usually part of a facelift but may be performed alone. The repair of the playsma muscles helps redefine the neck. Neck-lift procedures reposition and tighten skin that, through aging, has begun to sag.
Neck-lift procedures cannot eliminate all signs of aging. Although this procedure provides a more youthful appearance, the results usually decrease with time. Both genetic and environmental influences cause the face to show further signs of aging.
