A neck lift may be right for you if you want to remove excess fat or tighten the muscles in your neck. Sometimes as you age you may notice a banding on your neck which a neck lift can help address. Neck lifts can include three different steps: liposuction to remove fat, cervicoplasty to remove excess skin, and/or plastysmaplasty to tighten the neck muscles. A neck lift may be performed traditionally or using an endoscope, a device that includes a small camera on it that transmits visuals from under your skin to help guide the surgeon through the process. Endoscopic approaches generally may include a better recovery involving less bleeding, swelling and bruising.
