Necklift

Introduction

The neck is often as important to a youthful appearance as the face, and the two can sometimes seem to age at a difference rate. A Neck Lift will rid you of the sagging skin which can cause a 'jowly' appearance around the neck and jaw area. A youthful appearance will be restored.

Procedure

A Neck Lift involves the surgical removal of excess facial skin and can be carried out either by keyhole surgery or incision. Depending on the problem area, your surgeon may perform other surgical procedures on the face at the same time; this will be discussed in full at your consultation.

Recovery

A Neck Lift procedure normally takes between 1- 4 hours to complete and requires a 1-2 night stay in hospital. Most clients are able to go back to work after a couple of weeks

Post-Operative Care
