Forehead
lift is often performed in conjunction with a facelift to provide
a smoother overall look to the face. Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)
may also be performed at the same time as a forehead lift, especially
if a patient has significant skin overhang in the upper eyelids. Sometimes,
patients who believe they need upper-eyelid surgery find that a forehead
lift better meets their surgical goals.
Patients
who are bald, who have a receding hairline, or who have had previous
upper-eyelid surgery may still be good candidates for forehead lift.
The surgeon will simply alter the incision location or perform a more
conservative operation.
NECK
LIFT
For
some individuals, the neck begins to show age faster than whole face
and many times patients only need a neck lift, rather than a full
face lift. However, when a face lift is chosen and a neck lift is
included - these two together can complete the rejuvenation package.
Sometimes, it isn't age that determines the need for a neck lift,
but rather having lost considerable weight or it may even be hereditary
feature you'd like to remedy. In fact, many younger people undergo
platysmaplasty. Many men and women who have undergone neck lift are
often thought to have "lost a lot of weight" or "toned
up" rather than having had surgery.
Jowls
can form from fatty deposits at the jaw line and laxity in the muscles,
the neck muscles may begin to separate and hang, creating "bands"
and the skin may hang more that we'd like creating the "turkey
waddle" look. If this is the case perhaps you'd like to further
research the platysmaplasty procedure.
A
Neck Lift, or platysmaplasty and even submental platysmaplasty,
is a surgery designed to reduce the loose look of sagging skin in
the neck area and under the jaw line. Some patients who complain of
having a fleshy neck, "jowls", plastysma or neck "banding",
or a "turkey waddle" can benefit from this procedure. Many
times patients choose to have a neck lift with their face lift procedure.
You must realize that the neck lift or face lift procedure is not
designed to rejuvenate the area above the brow or around the eyes.
If this is what you seek a brow (forehead) lift or blepharoplasty
may benefit you. These four procedures can be performed in conjunction
with one another for a complete transformation. You may even with
to have laser resurfacing, if you are a candidate, for increased wrinkle
ablation and facial rejuvenation.
