Just as each person is different, so is the way that they age. Some people get older, yet you would never actually know it since they still look pretty much the same. Then there are people who do not age as well, and sagging skin becomes one of the main indicators of this fact.

This is why some people consider getting a necklift. This is a surgical procedure in which small incisions are made and the skin and muscles are tightened. In order to determine whether or not you would be a good candidate for a necklift, it is important to keep several things in mind.

First of all, a necklift is something that is meant only to tighten loose or sagging skin. It is not meant to be a way for someone with excess chins resting on their neck to have those chins removed. People who are in that situation should first look into various liposuction procedures.

Sometimes the necklift is done as an independent procedure, while other times it is done as part of an overall face lift. During a consultation appointment, the patient will be able to discuss the anesthesia options, as well as the overall goals they have for their appearance.

After the procedure has been done, the a compression bandage will be placed on the neck area. The patient will need to wear this bandage all the time for the first few days after the procedure. The patient will need to keep the bandages completely clean for maximum healing results.
