How many incisions are needed for a necklift procedure?

Question:
How many incisions are needed for a necklift procedure?

Answer:
The number of incisions required for a necklift procedure will depend largely on the type of necklift you will need to have done in order to address the issues of your neck you are concerned with.  If significant fat, and only mild  loose muscle and skin of the neck is your concern, then an incision place underneath your chin may be all that is necessary to perform an adequate necklift in your situation.  If you have more advance aging of the skin and muscle of the neck, then incisions that are place behind each ear extending into the hairline behind the ear will need to be created in order to adequately remove the excess skin of your neck and recreate the youthful contour of your neck that you desire.
