Surgical Neck Lift & Jawline Contouring

In the world of facial aesthetics, one of the most common concerns is facial skin laxity. As we age, gravity continually pulls down on our skin, and over time, the collagen and elastin fibers that hold our skin together begin to break down and lose elasticity. This laxity of the skin is very often the root cause of what we see as visible signs of aging.

There are many ways of dealing with skin laxity, the most obvious being excisional surgeries, such as a face lift. While face and neck lifts are certainly effective in severe cases, most patients are hesitant to go under the knife due to high costs, long and painful recovery times, and risks associated with anesthesia. In fact, the volume of plastic surgery cases in the past five years has slowed considerably, with patients largely favoring non-surgical options for tightening loose skin.

In recent years, modern developments in medical technology has allowed surgeons to offer a whole new kind of surgery using minimally invasive techniques that reduce the risk, pain, and downtime of excisional cases. Such procedures can achieve results comparable to excisional surgery with no more than a pin-point incision, which avoids the large and unsightly scars left by excisional surgeries. These cases can also utilize localized analgesia to ensure total patient comfort without the risks of going under full general anesthesia.
