It's inevitable, as we age, our faces are the first areas of the body to begin showing the telltale signs of years of stress, fatigue, and the effects of natural elements on our skin, and since this is the area that people focus on most in day-to-day interactions, it stands to reason why so many people are going to great lengths to slow down this aging process.
Diet and exercise can help keep our bodies looking young and in good condition, this approach however isn't quite as effective at combating the fatty deposits that begin to develop on our cheeks, chin, jaw line and the neck as we begin to age.
This fat is stubborn, and often unresponsive to a steady exercise regimen and good nutrition.
This excess, fatty tissue can begin to have an adverse effect on our facial image as we age, creating drooping jowls, double chins and neck laxity (often referred to as the "Turkey Neck").
Since these localized, fatty deposits cannot be targeted or eliminated by diet and exercise alone, many men and women are turning to cosmetic surgery to remove this excess fat from the neck and jowls and regain a more contoured jaw line.
For many patients, liposuction of the neck and jowls can produce a significant improvement in the contour of the neck and jaw area.
This procedure is clinically one of the most rewarding procedures in cosmetic surgery.
Considered to be a low-risk and relatively inexpensive procedure, lipo of the neck and jowls can produce drastic results that prove to be extremely beneficial to the patient.
Often, lipo of the neck and jowls is performed in conjunction with a mini facelift to achieve optimal aesthetic results.
