Noticing visible signs of ageing on your neck? Neck lift is an aesthetic procedure you can consider. In this article, we will discuss neck lift – what it is, its benefits, potential side effects, procedure involved, costs, and more.
What Is Neck Lift?
A neck lift is a surgical procedure designed to improve the contour and appearance of the neck area. It targets common signs of ageing such as loose or sagging skin, excess fat deposits, and prominent muscle banding, often caused by factors like ageing, genetics, and weight fluctuations. By tightening the underlying muscles, removing excess skin, and repositioning tissue, a neck lift can create a smoother, more youthful neck contour.
What Are The Types Of Neck Lift?
There are several types of surgical neck lifts, including traditional neck lift, platsmaplasty, and liposuction-assisted neck lift. Traditional neck lift surgery involves making incisions behind the ears and possibly under the chin to access and tighten the underlying muscles and remove excess skin. Platysmaplasty specifically targets the platysma muscle to address vertical banding or “turkey neck.” Liposuction-assisted neck lift focuses on removing excess fat deposits to redefine the neck and jawline.
Who Should Consider It?
Individuals who are bothered by visible signs of ageing in the neck area, such as sagging skin, muscle laxity, or excess fat deposits, may consider undergoing a neck lift. Ideal candidates for this procedure are generally in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and are looking to improve the contour and definition of their neck and jawline.
How Is It Performed?
During the procedure, the surgeon will make carefully placed incisions, typically hidden within the natural creases of the skin or behind the ears. Through these incisions, the underlying muscles may be tightened, excess fat may be removed via liposuction, and any loose or sagging skin is trimmed and repositioned for a more youthful appearance. The procedure may be performed under local or general anaesthesia, depending on the extent of the surgery and the patient’s preferences.
Are There Side Effects?
Like any surgical procedure, it carries potential risks and side effects, which may include bruising, swelling, discomfort, temporary numbness, and scarring. In rare cases, complications such as infection, nerve damage, or asymmetry may occur. Patients should discuss these risks with their surgeon and adhere to post-operative care instructions to minimise potential complications.
How Much Does It Cost?
The cost may vary depending on factors such as the surgeon’s experience, location, and the complexity of the procedure. On average, the cost of a neck lift in Korea ranges from â‚©4,000,000 to â‚©5,000,000 or approximately S$4,000 to S$5,000.
