Our doctor brings state-of-the-art techniques and experience to every surgery procedure at our medical center.
Add looks to your years... This treatment can improve the most visible signs of aging by sculpting and tightening the deeper structures and foundation of the neck. During the natural aging process, the effects of gravity, sun exposure, weight fluctuations, smoking, heredity, and the daily stresses of life begin to reveal the passage of time in our faces. Surgery can bring youth back to your body. In youth, the body is firm and smooth due to good skin elasticity and proper positioning of normal fat. During the aging process, skin elasticity and muscle tone weaken, and fat descends, causing prominent skin folds, deep creases between the spacing and corner of the mouth. Jowls become prominent along with fat deposits and loose skin in the neck.
A treatment won’t stop this aging process, but it can "set back the hands of time." It is designed to reduce much of the looseness and many of the heavy wrinkles and folds in the body and neck. It will also generally improve the contour of the jaw and necklines. It will not, however, completely remove every fold, line, and wrinkle. There is limited improvement in the areas around the eyes and with fine lines of the skin in general. A treatment alone will not improve "smoker’s" lines around the mouth, acne scars, or a poor complexion. Other options exist to treat these problems, including treatments using lasers, and many other procedures.
At our center, many procedures are combined with a brow lift, upper and/or lower eyelid surgery, and "cheekbone" (malar) augmentation. Frequently, chin implants are placed to improve the profile proportions of the jaw line and increase the projection of the chin. These additional procedures may be done at the same time and in combination with neck lift surgery or as independent procedures at a later date.
