How is neck lift surgery performed?
Neck lift surgery is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia, or local anesthesia combined with a sedative. The neck lift procedure usually combines several procedures which are typically performed through two small incisions either under or behind the ear, and another small incision hidden beneath the chin. Through these incisions the skin and muscles of the neck are tightened, excess skin and fat is removed, and the skin is pulled taut before is the incisions are sutured closed.
