Plastic surgeons may not have a crystal ball. Still, they work with so many patients throughout the year that many surgeons get an innate feeling for which procedures are popular, which are declining and which buzzworthy procedures are poised to take off.
A neck lift, also known as a platysmaplasty or lower rhytidectomy, restores youthful contours to the jawline and neck area to reverse the signs of aging.
Sometimes, we look at our faces and notice the fine lines around our eyes when we smile. Or we see the creases around our mouth when we make a funny face. Some think these lines, creases and expression marks age our faces, making us look tired and older. Yet have you ever thought it's not your face aging you? It may actually be your neck.
As you enjoy your well-deserved golden years, you may find yourself contemplating the fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of aging that you see when you look in the mirror. Maybe the reflection looking back at you doesn't match your vibrant mental picture of yourself.
Facelifts are one of the most common procedures for addressing a variety of aging issues. Whether you find yourself focusing on forehead wrinkles, more noticeable jowls or just overall skin laxity, a facelift is often one of the best and most popular ways to address these issues.
You've stood in front of the mirror countless times, your fingers gently tracing the contours of your face, feeling the changes that time has inevitably brought with age. While you value the wisdom and maturity the years have brought you, perhaps you yearn to recapture your youthful contours. If so, a facelift and/or neck lift may be suitable for you.
A well-sculpted jawline and defined chin can signal attractiveness, masculinity and confidence in a mature male face. Yet, many men start to see double chins, loose skin and jowls – especially as they age. And for some, nature never gave others a strong jawline in the first place.
Visible changes in the neck area tend to appear rather abruptly. One day, everything is fine, your jawline is taut and defined, and the next, something just looks... off.
