Facelift vs. Necklift Manhattan Style

So you think you want a facelift. Your neck is hanging, the laugh lines are getting deeper and overall you look older.  You should know that facelift surgery will fix these problems because a facelift not only pulls back the skin on the face, it  also tightens the neck as well. It is  a big procedure but it does the job.

However before considering such an undertaking, think about a necklift instead.  Sometimes it’s all some people need. A necklift just tightens the neck and leaves the face essentially unchanged. To me, the sign of a youthful face is how well the jawline is defined. Try it yourself, pull back the skin on your neck and see if you look younger. If you do, a necklift is probably the procedure for you. Normally, I can reserve a full facelift for an older person with deep facial wrinkles. The necklift alone works for many people ages 40 to 55 or 60.

So if you’re thinking about a younger look, make sure to ask your surgeon about the necklift procedure. It maybe all you need.
