A standard necklift in our hands is considered a minimally invasive procedure. There is a small incision under the chin area that allows us to access the area for cervical liposuction (liposuction o ft he neck). Once this is done the neck bands are tightened and this allows us to approach the remainder of the necklift in a way that gives the neck a much smoother contour of the neck and jawline. The recovery period is about one-two weeks depending on the patient and the results in most patients last between 10-15 years.
