Neck Lift in Portland & Lake Oswego
What Is A Neck Lift?
A Neck Lift is a surgical procedure that improves visible signs of aging in the jawline and neck. The jowls on the face or turkey neck can make someone look older than they feel. Patients who struggle with sagging skin in the neck can turn to Dr. Elisa Burgess in her Lake Oswego, OR practice to undergo a neck lift to correct the issue. A neck lift can treat the following:
- Excess fat and skin relaxation in the lower face that creates jowls
- Excess fatty deposits under the chin
- Loose neck skin
- Muscle banding in the neck, which creates abnormal contours
