Aging is not only limited to the face, loss of elasticity also occurs in the neck. This leads to sagging skin and fat under the chin as well as banding of the neck from the underlying muscle. In addition to the traditional neck lift procedure involving incisions behind the ear and a small one under the chin, the minimally invasive web necklift is also performed. This involves less dissection and a quicker recovery time compared with the traditional approach.
