Sometimes, Chicago face lift is not enough. People who feel that they look old go to their surgeons and ask for a face lift. But aside from the wrinkles and deep lines on the face, sagging neck muscles are also signs of aging. If you notice people in their 60’s, you’ll notice that their chins usually have sagging skin or excess fat. This gives them the double chin or the Turkey waddle chin.

To achieve that over-all youthful appearance, surgeons usually recommend a face lift and a neck lift. The face lift will take away all those creases on the face while the neck lift will improve the appearance of the chin removing excess fat and creases. The two surgeries go very well together and can both be performed in one operation.

What the neck lift does is that it tightens the muscles around the neck area removing unwanted vertical bands or horizontal creases. Face lift and neck lift procedures are usually outpatient basis which means that the patient can go home after the operation but many surgeons advise patients to stay overnight in the hospital because in some patients, excessive bleeding. When this happens, a drain will have to be inserted and will be left there for a few days.

Face lift will solve some problems you have on your face—wrinkles and other lines. But for a more younger looking appearance, many plastic surgeons advise to have neck lift with the Chicago facelift. The two are good combinations and they are done to hundreds of patients every day.
