Ageing of the neck may age a persons face more than the face itself. I perform most of my neck lift surgery in Wellington through facelift incisions. The surgery is individualized according to local anatomy as demonstrated below.

		Platysma suspension to mastoid and Genioplasty (chin advancement)
		Vertical Platysma and SMAS plication necklift
		Submental liposuction and MACS face and neck lift
		SMAS resection face and necklift and platysma plication
		MACS face and neck lift and cervical liposuction
		Oblique platysma suspension and SMAS resection

Options for rejuvenation of the neck include;

-elevation of the SMAS and platysma layer during a facelift
-plicating and tightening the platysma muscle though a small chin incision
-removing fat superficial and deep to the SMAS layer
-removing a ptotic hanging submandibular gland
-Botox of platysma (temporary)

There are many structures within the neck liable to damage such as branches of the facial nerve that animates the face. I perform approximately 25-30 neck dissections a year for cancer in the lymph nodes and as such am very familiar with the local anatomy.
