Understanding Neck Lift Surgery in Houston

As time passes, environmental factors, gravity, and natural aging can cause significant changes in the lower face and neck. These changes include loose skin, neckbands, and poorly defined jawlines that can make individuals appear older than their actual age.

What is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift is a sophisticated cosmetic surgical procedure designed to reduce aging signs along the jawline and neck. Depending on individual needs, plastic surgeons may utilize various techniques such as cervicoplasty, lower rhytidectomy, liposuction, or platysmaplasty.
