As you age, there is a gradual degeneration of the connective tissues and less production of collagen and elastin, which reduces the strength and elasticity of your skin. The loss of skin strength and elasticity may also be due to genetic problems, stress, harmful environmental conditions, and poor lifestyle, like smoking. Because skin blemishes commonly affect the neck, you may require neck lift Fort Worth. A neck lift can remove the excess fats, skin, and tissues around your neck. As a result, the skin around your neck will become tighter and more well-defined to make you appear vibrant and youthful.
One of the reasons your neck is often affected by skin problems is that it is constantly exposed to the harmful effects of the sun and the environment.
Also, it may appear like your neck is mostly affected by aging signs because it does not receive the same level of care as the face.
Consequently, below are the skin imperfections that a neck lift surgery or lower rhytidectomy can treat.
- Double chin
If you have a double chin, it results from the development of an extra layer of fat underneath the chin (lower jaw). Often the enlarging of the submental fat occurs if you are overweight, older, eat an unhealthy diet, or assume a poor posture constantly.
For instance, if you eat an unhealthy diet frequently, which may involve processed foods, foods rich in calories, and unhealthy fats, you will gain extra fat and weight.
A neck lift surgery can be an excellent option if exercises do not burn and eliminate or reduce the excess fats under your neck and chin.
- Poorly defined jawline
A weak jawline is usually round, puffy, and poorly defined, which can affect the confidence level in your appearance.
A strong, well-defined jawline is a desirable facial characteristic as it enhances the framing of your face and delivers a generally thinner profile.
You will have a poorly defined jawline because you have excess fat around the area of your neck and jawline. The sagging of the skin makes the jawline invisible.
Sometimes, your health provider may need to combine facelift surgery with a lower facelift to enable excellent redefining of your jawline.
- Sagging neck skin
Also called a turkey neck, a sagging neck skin occurs due to loss of elasticity resulting from aging.
If exercises do not strengthen neck muscles and reduce the loose, wrinkly folds, you may be the right candidate for neck lift surgery.
- Pronounced platysmal bands
Platysmal bands are the two strips of muscles running vertically on both sides of the neck. Prominent platysmal bands appear because of natural aging and frequent intense muscle activity in the outer skin layer of the face and neck.
A neck lift surgery will tighten the muscles in the outer skin layer of the face, leading to less visible platysmal bands.
Neck lift surgery may also help fix highly visible wrinkles and skin creases.
