LaserLipo Neck Lift
Neck skin, its supporting tissue, and the muscles underneath are particularly prone to laxity. Many patients benefit from the standard Smartlipo procedure which removes fat ("double chin") and tightens the skin substantially. For those with significant neck laxity which forms wattles or ridges from the chin to the Adam’s apple, Laser Lipo Neck Suspension is recommended. This two stage procedure which is performed under local anesthesia tightens the entire neck to create a new, more youthful neckline. Through a tiny incision, the pencil- lead-thin Smartlipo laser fiber first melts away any excess fat and induces maximum retraction of the neck with little or no discomfort. Using a combination of special supportive sutures and re-draping techniques, the lax muscles are then tightened and any excess skin is removed. The result is a firm muscular support structure with tighter overlying skin for a more youthful neck contour. The entire procedure is performed in the office, and the sutures are removed after one week.
