If you’ve been looking into options for cosmetic surgery to eliminate signs of aging and maintain a youthful appearance, a facelift may be the most suitable for you. A facelift will remove excess skin and fat and tighten your face, eliminating facial lines and wrinkles in the process. However, you may not be aware that a facelift works best with a necklift, too.


In fact, your neck is actually one body part that reveals your real age. This is because the skin on the neck is thinner than facial skin and is, thus, more prone to elasticity loss. Some women even develop what’s referred to as turkey wattle, where part of the skin is so loose that it hangs.

Of course, there are measures to hide a wrinkly neck, such as wearing turtlenecks or scarves or putting on makeup, but these are all temporary ways to mask the problem. A necklift procedure tightens the unsightly excess skin from the neck that causes a banded appearance, making for a long-term solution.


An experienced surgeon can perform a facelift simultaneously with a necklift. In fact, you can find some facilities that offer them automatically as a combination service, “a face and neck procedure,” not as separate entities.
