The neck and jawline frame the lower third of the face. As we laugh and smile, tissues in the neck may lose strength over time leading to the sagging and an contribute to an aged appearance. Also, the deep supporting structures may weaken and obscure the jawline. A neck lift, often done in conjunction with a face lift, resuspends the deep layers of the neck and allows for direct contouring of the jawline. The overlying skin can be then be redraped to restore a youthful appearance.
