UNDERSTANDING NECK LIFT PROCEDURES IN MIDLOTHIAN

A neck lift, or platysmaplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to
remove loose, sagging skin from the neck and create a smooth, slender
profile. Natural aging or significant weight loss can create unsightly
neck folds, often referred to as a "turkey neck".

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

Commonwealth Facial Plastic Surgery addresses neck contour concerns
through a precise surgical approach. The procedure involves several
key steps:

 	* Removing excess fat through targeted liposuction
	* Trimming hanging skin
	* Tightening loose neck muscles (platysma)
	* Re-draping skin for a natural, defined profile

PROCEDURE DETAILS

Typically performed under general anesthesia, a neck lift takes
approximately two hours. Incisions are strategically placed under the
chin and near the ears to minimize visible scarring. Patients can
expect to return to work within 7-10 days, with optimal results
appearing over several months.

NECK LIFT CANDIDACY IN MIDLOTHIAN

Individuals in their 20s to 70s may benefit from a neck lift,
particularly those experiencing:

 	* Significant skin laxity
	* Excess neck fat
	* Loss of neck muscle tone
	* Post-weight loss skin changes

COMPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES

Some patients might require additional interventions like chin
augmentation to achieve optimal neck contouring. Dr. Matthew Bridges
evaluates each patient's unique facial structure to recommend the most
effective approach.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

IS A NON-SURGICAL NECK LIFT POSSIBLE?

Loose neck skin can only be effectively addressed through surgical
intervention. Non-surgical treatments have limited effectiveness in
significantly improving neck contour.

SCARRING CONSIDERATIONS

Incisions are carefully placed within natural skin folds and hairlines
to ensure minimal visible scarring. Dr. Bridges takes exceptional care
to minimize and conceal surgical marks.
