Deep Neck Lift
A deep plane face lift alone often does not provide complete and balanced facial rejuvenation without being combined with a deep neck lift. The neck is one of the most noticeable and challenging areas to correct in facial aging. A deep neck lift is an advanced surgical technique aimed at correcting the deep anatomical structures that cause neck aging.Why Does the Neck Age?
- Relaxation and separation of the platysma muscle
- Sagging of deep fat tissues
- Prominence of the submandibular glands
- Loss of the jawline–neck angle
What Is a Deep Neck Lift?
In a deep neck lift:- The platysma muscle is repaired at the midline
- Deep fat tissues are removed in a controlled manner
- Submandibular glands are repositioned if necessary
- The jawline is sharpened
- The neck–jaw angle is restored
Who Is It Suitable For?
- Those with significant neck sagging
- Patients with double chin or neck bands
- Individuals with a softened jawline
- Those seeking ideal results together with a face lift
