Abstract
Early signs of aging can be seen on the neck before they appear on the face. A number of noninvasive procedures are available to reverse the signs of aging in these areas. Although these procedures can delay the need for a facelift, they are less effective on the neck. A neck lift is a highly beneficial and effective procedure to address the major components of aging (skin, muscle, and adipose tissue). We present a systematic approach to analyze and treat the aging neck based on anatomy and individual features. Different techniques are discussed for each particular concern.
