Neck Lift (Lower Rhytidectomy)

A neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin, tighten underlying muscles, and improve the contours of the neck and jawline. This procedure helps address sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and excess fat, creating a firmer, more youthful appearance.
