Neck Lift in The Villages, FL

Skin on the neck is thin and sensitive and is often affected by the climate you live in. Some patients are prone to lose elasticity faster than other parts of their face. This means that eating right and working out isn't always enough to make you look like you did when you were younger. Instead, you get sagging skin, a turkey neck, double chins, jowls, and deep creases and wrinkles as you lose weight or get older. A neck lift directly fixes these issues, giving you tighter muscles and smoother skin.

At VIP in The Villages neck lift patients are given a mild general anesthesia. A long-lasting local anesthetic is also used to keep you as comfortable as possible during your procedure. The front of the neck is shaped first.

Next, a small cut is made under the chin to remove fat from the neck and strengthen the platysma muscle. Next, an incision is made around the ear lobe, behind the ear, and down to where it is hidden in the hairline. This tightens the neck area just in front of, below, and behind the ears. Under the skin, a tube is made so that it is easy to slide back. Slowly, the loose skin behind the ear is tightened, and the extra is cut away. The cuts are closed with sutures that dissolve over time. Dr. Soares pays close attention to your aesthetic objectives to give you amazing results.
