What happens in a neck lift or lower facelift?
Know the theory behind the procedure
The neck is made of skin, a collagen-rich matrix layer, and a deep muscle layer. The muscle layer, or platysma, envelops the neck and acts like a sling to support the tissues of the neck. Over time, one or more of these tissue layers may lose elasticity. As the tensile strength of the tissue layers is lost, the underlying tissues tend to droop or herniate.
Gravity and genetics are the key components that can cause signs of aging around the neck area. As aging occurs, gravity pulls on the neck tissues causing them to droop and fall. The collagen and elastin-rich matrix of tissue deep in the skin can also begin to slowly degrade. These actions decrease the amount of support to the tissues of the neck, and over a lifetime, loose tissue (also known as a “waddle”) can form. The platysma muscle also tends to lose its tightness, and splay apart over time.
Genetics plays a major role in aging of the neck as well as in the development of excess fat in the neck. Other factors include rapid or frequent changes in weight. The end result is loose skin, excess soft tissue and fat, and the loss of the sharp, youthful angle of the neck.
The neck can be rejuvenated and the sharpness and definition of the neck can be restored via our Houston neck lift or lower facelift procedure.
