Neck issues come in all shapes and sizes. By definition, a true "necklift" will include a platysmaplasty or tightening of the strap muscles- this corrects the banding and leaves a softer/ flatter neck on profile. Therefore, you will need to be under a controlled anesthestic ( general or heavy sedation); this in my opinion is CRITICAL to acheiving an incredible result.
Be careful signing up for a necklift, or any cosmetic surgery for that matter, based on price alone. Interview as many Board Certified Rhinoplasty surgeons as you can in your area. You may find that prices vary; you may also find that each surgeon has different thoughts on how he/she may approach your procedure. Find out where incisions will be placed (below the chin, behind the ears, etc.).
Remember, the cost of surgery includes many aspects...surgeon, facility fees and access,nursing care, anesthesia care, office local (area of the country), etc.
Make sure you are able to meet and discuss surgery and plans with your surgeon, look at before and after photos of their work and find out what exactly the "price" includes.
Bottom line, you get what you pay for....bargain surgery is just that!
Good luck! JPC
