Its not about the name, but how to get the results.

Sutton Graham II, MD answers: 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

As the other surgeons from various parts of the country have mentioned, this catchy name isn't even recognized as a procedure. Experienced surgeons are familiar with names based on anatomic layers or details of the techniques used. "Simplicity" sounds like it is designed to appeal to the public, not communicate with professionals.

Your potential surgeon should discuss how the components of your neck, and it's unsatisfactory appearance, will be handled. Lax skin, excessive fat, lax or redundant muscle bands need to be effectively treated. Minor variations on well-established neck-lift techniques, discussed here by other surgeons, are what you need to hear about. Regardless of the name, its how well your surgeon does your operation that matters. Be sure that your research includes in-person consultations with some widely recommended plastic surgeons. Best luck in your search.
