Hello, this is Woori Plastic Surgery.
Did you know that if you do not want to regret the cost of a neck lift, you should have it done together with a facelift? Today, we will explain why it is better to combine the neck lift with a facelift if you want to avoid regretting the cost of a neck lift.
I only want a neck lift
Among those considering a facelift and a neck lift, many say, "My face hasn’t sagged, only my neck has." However, in reality, it is rare for only the neck to sag while the face has not sagged at all. In most cases, facial sagging begins first, and over time the sagging extends down to the neck line. If neck wrinkles are noticeable, there is a very high chance that changes have already begun in the face as well.
Benefits of having it together with a facelift
A neck lift is not simply a procedure that pulls the skin on the surface. The SMAS layer mentioned in facelift surgery and the platysma muscle tightened in a neck lift are anatomically connected, so if only the neck is operated on without a facelift, the pulling force may be limited or dispersed, reducing the lifting effect or making it appear unnatural. The face and neck need to be tightened together to create a natural face shape and a smooth jawline.
The surgical areas overlap
To enjoy the effects of a facelift, having a facelift and a neck lift together shortens the surgery time compared with doing them separately. Since the incision areas and surgical scope overlap by more than 70%, it is far more efficient than having two separate surgeries, and it can also reduce recovery time.
How to avoid regretting the cost of a neck lift
If only the neck is tightened, the lifting direction tends to go backward only, and in many cases the jawline does not appear clearly defined when viewed from the front. However, when a facelift is performed together, an upward and natural lifting line is created, allowing the neck line and jawline to connect naturally and reducing regret over spending on a neck lift.
If you are 고민하신다면 about the cost of a neck lift, it may be a much better choice to consider lifting the face as well. With one surgery, you can achieve a natural impression, a more defined jawline, and improvement in the neck line.
