Many people who seek to gain a younger-looking appearance overlook one of the most visible areas on our body, an area that also happens to be an obvious giveaway for our true age. Though the face is often given the most attention, the neck is a delicate area of skin that shows our age more clearly than most other places on our body. The neck lift procedure is designed to combat wrinkles, sagging and excess fat in this region for a more youthful look.
A neck lift is typically performed as an outpatient combination procedure. The operation itself should take about an hour but can vary depending on the extent of the lift and whether it will be performed in combination with another procedure. Most patients can expect to be discharged home on the same day as the surgery. It’s important that they arrange for a ride home, because driving will not be an option.
For more details about the neck lift, contact the Bellevue office of Dr. James Ridgway to set up a personal consultation. There, any questions and concerns will be addressed in full.
