A neck lift or lower rhytidectomy is a cosmetic procedure that removes wrinkles, sagging skin, and fat around the jawline. The purpose of this procedure is to enhance the appearance of the neck and to create a more defined jawline. This way any signs of aging Such as under chin wrinkles and loose skin is removed. Therefore, lower rhytidectomy results are a much younger and youthful appearance.

What is neck lift

A neck lift, platysmaplasty or lower rhytidectomy is a set of cosmetic procedures with the goal to produce younger look around the neck. Platysmaplasty is done through a surgical procedure which often includes some small incision under the chin. During the procedure excess skin is removed along jawline which in turn tightens skin and muscles around the neck. 

Double chin

Double chin is most common in aged and overweight people. It’s due to the accumulation of a fat layer under the skin or, because of losing that fat layer as time goes by. A double chin can cause undefined jawline or loose skin under the chin. But all of these problems can be treated by lower rhytidectomy procedure.

Where are neck lift scars

In Neck Lift surgery limited incisions are made, just enough for the surgeon to perform the surgery. If the surgeon is skilled and experienced, he/she knows what exactly needs to be done, hence few small scars would remain after. Depending on how extensive the surgery needs to be, incisions can be made behind each ear or under the chin. 

Sometimes Neck lift treatment is used along with liposuction to remove excess fat. After trimming the excess skin, neck lift incisions will be closed carefully. Scars may take a year to fully heal. But, as rhytidectomy incisions are made along natural folds and lines of the neck, it won’t be noticeable after that.

Mini neck lift

A mini neck lift is a less invasive method of lower rhytidectomy for people with less severe symptoms.  In Mini neck lift, vertical bands will be removed from under the chin and around the neck. This means much smaller incisions and faster neck lift recovery.

Neck lift alternatives

There are also some other non-invasive neck lift options like laser neck lift that include lower risks. But this is just for those who have a smaller double chin. In this case, using a laser neck lift can melt fat deposits under the chin. 

One possible alternative for lower rhytidectomy is Botox injection. Botox injection is a non-invasive procedure in which neck muscles get tightened. The downside of this non-invasive procedure is that it’s temporary which only remains for 3 to 4 months.

Using threads for Facial rejuvenation is also an option when it comes to non-invasive lower Rhytidectomy. Thread lift of the neck is done by using very thin and absorbable threads. Threads are inserted under the skin in a layer below the dermis. Some Side effects like facial asymmetry and thread migration are associated with thread lift in rare cases. 

Non-invasive lower rhytidectomy using fillers carries much lesser risk than other Non-Surgical options like liposuction, however, filler’s effect won’t last forever.

Neck lift vs neck liposuction

To perform Neck liposuction, small incisions are made to insert a thin liposuction cannula through. With removing the fat tissues under the chin, the reason that caused double chin dissolves permanently. But removing those fats doesn’t necessarily mean that the saggy would go away. To fix that, some kind of lift is needed. So the two procedures are complementary to each other. Some associated risks of liposuction in some cases are the bumpy appearance of skin and fluid accumulation.

Lower Rhytidectomy is rather a low-risk option. Although one of the best possible ways to remove double chin and wrinkles is to use both methods together. Liposuction for effective fat removal and lower rhytidectomy to shape tissues at the best.
