What Is a Deep Neck Lift?
A deep neck lift is a cosmetic surgical option designed to rejuvenate the neck and jawline. It specifically restructures sagging skin, fat, and underlying muscle tissue surrounding four key neck and face ligaments that, thanks to age, genetics, and stress, loosen over time.
This procedure goes beyond traditional surface neck lifts by targeting deeper structures of the neck, tightening muscles, reducing salivary glands, and removing fat to create a firm and youthful look. Dr. Bapna’s deep neck lift expertly re-drapes skin, providing long-lasting, natural-looking results while minimizing visible scarring.
A deep neck lift is perfect for treating age-related changes such as jowls, “turkey neck,” muscle banding, and excess fat deposits.
What Does a Deep Neck Lift Do?
Many of us underestimate the impact the appearance of our neck has on our overall aging. Deep wrinkles, muscle laxity, excess fat buildup, and loose neck skin all contribute to abnormal contours that can make us look older, or simply feel less confident.
A deep neck lift is designed to address:
- Sagging, loose skin on the neck and jaw
- Jowls obscuring your jawline’s natural contour
- Fat deposits that build up with time
- Vertical deep muscle banding (often associated with aging)
- Overall age- and genetic-related loss of neck and jaw definition
Am I a Good Candidate for a Deep Neck Lift?
A deep neck lift is a good choice if you’re looking for an alternative to non-surgical anti-aging options thanks to its transformative results reversing the effects of aging on your neck and jawline. Since it tightens the deep facial and neck structures, it is especially effective for neck fullness, as well as sagging skin and visible neck bands. To find out if you are a suitable candidate for this procedure, book a consultation at our Dublin Ohio office, near Columbus to discuss your face concerns with Dr. Bapna.
