Neck corrections

It is said that the neck is the part of the body that shows a person's true age. This is usually very true. Throughout our lives, we take great care of our facial skin: we apply various creams, use masks, get massages, and undergo other procedures, but we often forget about our neck. This part of the body is left aside, as if unnoticed. It's no wonder that after a while, we start to notice changes in the neck area. The skin here is very thin and sensitive, which is why the first signs of aging are first reflected precisely on the neck.

As we age, the skin on the neck begins to loosen, gradually slackens, and can eventually sag noticeably. This happens not only due to the aging process but also due to other factors, such as significant weight loss. After losing excess weight, especially in older individuals whose skin is no longer as elastic, excess skin can form under the chin, which does not retract on its own. In such cases, patients seek to undergo neck plastic surgery.

A neck lift can be performed in various ways. The most common methods are surgical neck lift surgery or thread lift.

The procedure is very often performed in conjunction with a facelift and neck liposuction.

Thread neck lift

When the situation is not very complicated and the neck skin is not severely stretched and sagging, neck tightening can be performed using a minimally invasive procedure – surgical threads. These threads are inserted into the neck area, neatly tightening the skin that has begun to sag and forming a beautiful angle between the chin and the neck. The refined contours immediately rejuvenate the neck area. The procedure is effective for 3–5 years, after which it can be repeated.

However, thread neck lift is not effective when the skin on the neck is very severely sagging. In such cases, a surgical neck lift is performed.

Surgical neck lift

If not only the skin is sagging, but there is also excess fat accumulated in the neck, then, first, liposuction is performed to remove the excess fat.

During the operation, neck muscles are adjusted and strengthened, excess loose skin is removed, and the remaining skin is stretched and firmed. The neck correction takes about 2-3 hours, and the results last approximately 5-10 years. After the surgery, swelling, numbness, and some bruising in the neck are experienced.

You will see an obvious result the very same day after the surgery, as there will no longer be excess skin. Once your neck has fully healed, it will appear firmer, more youthful, and smoother.
