A neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to improve visible signs of aging in the jawline and neck area. As individuals age, factors such as gravity, environmental conditions, and stress contribute to the appearance of wrinkles, sagging skin (commonly referred to as “turkey neck”), and vertical muscle bands in the neck. Neck lift surgery aims to restore a firm, smooth, and graceful contour to the neck, providing a more youthful and refreshed appearance. This procedure also enhances overall facial balance by creating a well-defined jawline that complements the rest of the face.
