Neck Lift Needed for Loose Skin?

I am 39 years old--almost 40. I do not sag in the neck but when I turn my neck to a certain way, I do not like the appearance. It is not quite sagging but it is very loose and unattractive. Do I need a neck lift yet or what would work without surgery?

A: Neck lift for loose skin...

A neck lift is an excellent procedure that can help correct and enhance the neck, which improves loose saggy skin, and gives a more natural look.  Unfortunately, anyone who turns their neck in certain directions or turns the chin in may show some loose skin.  If your neckline in the normal position looks good, then you probably won't benefit from surgery.  There is no ideal age for neck surgery, and candidates may range from people in their 20's to the elderly as long as you are a good candidate.  To see if you are qualified for this surgery, you should be sure to speak with a board certified facial plastic or plastic surgeon.

Would Necklift Surgery Compromise One Who Has a Cochlear Implant?

I received a cochlear implant approx. 12 years earlier. I'm wondering if any surgeons would know if further surgery for neck or facelift would compromise the implant area?

A: Facelift cochlear implants

I have performed many facelifts with cochlear implants and it has never been a problem.  I would urge you to discuss it with your surgeon to make sure they are comfortable with it.

Sincerely,

Simplicity Lift Vs. Traditional Neck Lift

I am researching options for revitalizing my neck. My neck is quite crepey but I don't have jowls (yet). I am 58 years old and petite. I have been recently reading about the "simplicity lift" and would like to know if the results are comparable to a traditional neck lift.

Thanks, Karen Tampa, FL

A: A traditional necklift will give better and longer lasting results.

Unfortunately, advertising for plastic surgery has taken a wrong turn somewhere. A quick browse of the internet can turn up a long list of "new" procedures (such as a simplicity lift) that cannot even be found in a textbook. Generally, these lifts are a form of a mini facelift, a procedure that has been around for 30 years. However, now with far reaching advertising such as TV, radio, print, and internet, it is easy to reach people and describe a "revolutionary new procedure" that is 1 hour in length, performed under local anesthesia, has incredible results, and only 2 days downtime. Sound perfect, right? These minifacelifts are really only good for a patient with minimal jowling so they should not be applied to everyone, and usually do not have a good long term result on the neck. A traditional necklift will have a nice, long lasting result that you will be happy with if performed by a qualified surgeon. Good luck.
