a doctor near me has a special offer for $999 "laser neck lift". before i call the office, what should i know about laser neck lifting. is it effective? safe?
Answer: Laser Neck Lift is Smartlifting Technique
The term laser neck lift has been used to describe tissue tightening by the use of an external laser and more recently the use of an internal laser first FDA approved in 2006. Because the implementation of new technology varies from practice to practice knowlege of some of the new laser assisted procedures may be lacking. In 2008 we introducted Smartlifting to AAFPRS, ASPS and IMCAS plastic surgery conferences. This uses a fiberlaser under the skin to tighten skin and shrink fat.
It also helps reduce bleeding during face lift surgery. We have completed close to 500 procedures and are training more plastic surgeons in these techniuqes many of which will be published in Neck Rejuvenation our book which will be released this fall. A specific neck lift protocol now includes some internal laser combined with traditional platysmaplasty techniques and is highly effective in well selected patients,

CONTACT NOW Answer: Laser neck lift Thank you for your question. It is hard to tell without understanding what laser he is marketing, what a laser neck lift is. It could be laser assisted liposuction to help tighten the undersurface of the skin during a liposuction procedure, or it could just be a laser resurfacing procedure that will tighten the skin externally.

Answer: Laser Assisted Weekend Necklift It is possible that you may be a candidate for what is termed, "The Laser Assisted Weekend Necklift:" It is a minimally invasive procedure. Cervicofacial Liposculpture is first employed to contour the unfavorable fatty changes seen in the face and neck as time passes by, such as the ‘Turkey neck’ and ‘double chin’.Careful attention is then turned to tightening the neck muscles and eliminating neck bands. Finally, I employ laser technology to ‘resurface’ the underside of the neck skin, thereby ‘shrinkwrapping’ the skin of the neck restoring a youthful contour.A consultation with a board certified facial plastic surgeon or board certified plastic surgeon will help determine which procedures will provide the best results for you.

Answer: There is no standard definition of what constitutes a "laser lift"
The use of a laser such as internal (lipotherme, smartlipo, etc) or external (fractionated CO2, erbium) etc, especially with the conjuction of liposuction, is sometimes termed laser neck lift.
The term is misleading. While there are many good candidates for such procedures, others need a more traditional neck lift which is distinguished by excisions of skin, usually around the ears.
at $999 you are probably looking at a liposuction based procedure. you should have a evaluation by a BOARD CERTIFIED (check on plasticsurgery.org) surgeon to make sure that you are not a better candidate for a lift procedure.
I perform both procedures, and find that people that come to be expecting to be great candidates for the laser based liposuction procedure can sometimes better be served by a neck lift. a proper evaluation is key. good luck

Answer: Be very careful of low cost special for laser neck lift
In my experience patients often "get what they pay for" when it comes to plastic surgery.
A well performed and effective surgical neck lift done by an experienced board certified plastic surgeon can cost $10,000.00.
New laser neck lift usually refers to laser liposuction with SlimLipo, Smartlipo or Coolipo.
These new laser techniques dissolve the fat underneath the chin and heat the tissues in the neck to produce tightening of the neck skin.
When properly perfomed by an experienced surgeon fairly effective skin tightening can be achieved and improve the neck appearance.
However the skill of your surgeon is very important and burns can occur with the laser.
Be suspicious of 'specials" with unusually low fees. Laser lipo and skin tightening of the neck done by experienced board certified plastic surgeons usually costs $5000-7500. The lasers cost over $100,000.00 which adds to the cost of the procedure.
