I am very interested in getting a neck lift.

Question:
I am very interested in getting a neck lift.  I am a 38 year old female and the "turkey gobbler" seems to be very hereditary in my family regardless of weight.  I am not over weight (very lean, actually) but mine is already starting to make its appearance.  When I have this procedure done, will I have to have it again in later years?

Answer:
I love to perform the neck lift procedure because the results in the right patients are really remarkable.  The neck lift procedure is just like all other facial surgical procedures in that over time you will likely need a touch up procedure to maintain the appearance of your neck that you have grow occustomed to seeing.  The touch up necklift procedure that you will need will be much less aggressive than your original necklift procedure.  You will not likely need a touch up necklift procedure for several years.
