Question:
I`m wondering whether a neck lift improves the look of the far edges of the jawline? Is there any procedure that lifts to the jawline or does that mean a full lower face lift?

Dr. A’s Answer:
“Neck lift” is a name for not one procedure but a number of possibilities. This may include fat removal, smoothing of muscular bands, and possibly skin removal. For the most part, when someone speaks of a neck lift they are speaking of a procedure which will not give much, if any, improvement to jowls. A lower face lift is absolutely the best way to address jowls and it will take care of the neck as well.
