Neck Lifts: Santa Barbara Cosmetic Surgery Highlight

Sagging skin, muscle banding and local fat accumulation can contribute to deconstruct the “contour” your neckline once had.

Restoring the “contour” can be done through cosmetic surgery with incisions behind the ears and one small incision under the chin. Muscles are often tied to help create a “sling effect” for better support. A suspension suture is often used to give more long-lasting support to the neck.

A minimally-invasive version can also be done using special support sutures and limited undermining behind the ears, but the results will usually be less dramatic and don’t usually last as long.
