When loose neck skin becomes a concern, it’s time to explore your options for rejuvenating and tightening jowls and “turkey neck.” Patients with significant sagging usually require a surgical neck lift, while patients who aren’t quite ready for this invasive approach may be good candidates for a minimally invasive skin tightening procedure like PrecisionTx.
But which approach is right for you? Should you choose a surgical or a nonsurgical neck lift? Read on and take our short quiz below before scheduling your personalized consultation with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons.
What Is a Nonsurgical Neck Lift?
A nonsurgical neck lift using PrecisionTx leverages heat energy to rejuvenate the jawline, jowls, and neck. The laser stimulates your body’s natural healing response. As collagen builds, your skin gradually smooths and firms. While the procedure only requires 2 to 3 days of downtime, achieving your desired results takes a few months. However, our PrecisionTx laser skin tightening approach doesn’t require stitches, meaning scarring is virtually a non-issue.
Laser skin tightening is usually the ideal approach for patients with less pronounced skin laxity who are able to wait longer to observe noticeably firmer skin.
Which Symptoms Require Neck Lift Surgery?
Patients with more advanced aging symptoms typically require facelift surgery. Although it’s a costlier and more invasive procedure that requires lengthier downtime, a facelift provides results that are dramatic and long-lasting compared to a nonsurgical neck lift.
Aging symptoms that indicate your candidacy for a surgical neck lift include:
- Weakened platysma (neck muscles)
- Neck bands/wrinkles
- Excess, sagging neck skin
Most TLKM Plastic Surgery patients who undergo a neck lift can typically return to work and resume other activities after 10 days. Dr. Mustoe and Dr. Sinno used advanced techniques that accomplish natural-looking results with minimal, well-concealed scars.
