Neck Lift In Chattanooga, TN

Neck Lift Overview

Have you noticed that with time and age, the appearance of your neck and jaw area begins to change? It may no longer look as sculpted, attractive, or contoured as it once did. If your skin is starting to sag, wrinkle, and droop, Dr. Shire and his team understand how distressing signs of aging can be, and they are ready to help.

A neck lift, also referred to as neckline surgery or turkey neck surgery, is a popular cosmetic procedure that can improve the appearance of your neck and jawline. Since some of the first signs of aging appear in the neck area, the idea of loose skin developing can be hard to accept. When you undergo a neck lift procedure, the results are a well-defined neck area, which melts off ages in your appearance.

Here are more details about the neck lift procedure and what you can expect:

Small incisions are made, typically around the level of your ear and under your chin. The incisions near your ear are often hidden by your hairline
Skin and muscles are tightened and smoothed, and then extra skin and fat can be removed, if necessary
Neck lifts can also be combined with liposuction and other cosmetic procedures for more remarkable results

At Shire Plastic Surgery, Dr. Shire and his exceptional team are proud to offer their patients the best neck lift in Chattanooga and the surrounding areas.

Some individuals may start seeing signs earlier or later. Signs of aging depend on many factors, including heredity, stress, environmental changes, gravity, and more. If you are unhappy with the appearance of your neck and jawline, neckline surgery can be an excellent option at virtually any age.

The results of a neck lift surgery last for approximately 10 years. After this, you may begin to see signs of aging return.
