NECK LIFT

A woman’s neck area is often the place that can look the most aged. Traditional face­lifts do not address this area. Sagging of the neck results when the platysma muscle loosens and becomes elongated. Typically, when an SMAS-Lift is performed the platysma muscle is reshaped and repositioned at the same time. Excess skin and fat can also be cut away at this time. (Sources: Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, May 2006, pages 2008-2010, and November 1999, volume 104, pages 1093-1100.)
