The neck and the face are looked at in conjunction. The neck also undergoes considerable aging changes, which include, sagging of the skin under the jaw, bands in the neck, transverse wrinkles, creases and folds. These can be corrected with the modern aesthetic surgery techniques.

Usually the face and neck should be looked at as a single entity and should be treated together. If you have a lot of folds and creases, then a neck lift in conjunction with a face-lift is what you need. Bands due to prominent muscles under the skin can be either dealt with Botox injections or may need surgical division and re-approximation to give a smooth even look.

The shape of the neck, especially the neck – jaw angle can be improved by a procedure called cervicoplasty. In this procedure the muscle of the neck (Plastysma) is tightened. The definition of the jaw-line can be enhanced by liposuction.

If you wish to know more about rejuvenating the neck or changing the shape of the neck, please contact aesthetics for a detailed consultation.
