A neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that improves visible signs of aging in the lower face, jawline and neck. Signs of aging addressed include:
- Excess fat and skin in the lower face and chin resulting in a double chin
- Loose, saggy neck skin
- Abnormal muscle bands in the neck
This can be performed as a standalone procedure, or in conjunction with a facelift, which addresses the upper and midface.
