The effects of time and gravity can cause skin to sag or become droopy. You may find yourself with a double chin or cellulite on your thighs. While these conditions may be embarrassing or cause you to be self-conscious, procedures are available to help!

Neck Lift
Do you have a double chin or droopy, sagging skin in your neck area? Is your neck too full and out of proportion with your face? Perhaps you've developed jowls and your once prominent jaw line is no longer visible. For some, droopy, fatty, skin in the neck area is the result of significant weight loss or the normal aging process, but for others, their sagging skin is genetic. Regardless, a double chin and excess skin and fat around the neck affects appearance and self esteem. The good news is-you can do something about it. Neck lifts are available to remove unsightly sagging skin and fat in the neck area leaving you with a neck and jaw line that is more attractive and youthful looking.

Anyone who has lost a lot of weight, has a double chin, jowls, excess skin and fat in the neck area, neck banding or a neck with a turkey waddle appearance is a good candidate for a neck lift.

Neck lifts are performed using endoscopic surgery. The neck muscles are tightened, excess skin and fat removed and the skin is redraped to give better definition to the neck and jaw line. Scars are not noticeable because the incisions are hidden behind the ears. While a neck lift can't stop the aging process, it can make you look dramatically younger by highlighting the contours of your neck and jaw line. In fact, after your surgery, most people will think you've simply lost weight or just toned up. For a complete rejuvenation, a neck lift can be done in conjunction with a face or brow lift.

Thigh Lift
Are you self-conscious about the way your thighs look? Is there excessive, loose skin that hangs or shakes when you walk? A thigh lift is a popular choice for those looking for sleeker, tighter legs. Imagine being able to wear shorts again!

A thigh lift has many benefits. The goals of the thigh lift is to remove the "dimpled" cellulite look on your thighs, and reduce excess skin of the inner and outer thigh areas.

Depending upon your health and desired results, a thigh lift is often times most successful when combined with another procedure. If there are large amounts of excess tissue in your thighs, liposuction can also be performed for better results to sculpt your upper legs. Likewise, thighs and buttocks are often in the same condition and performing a buttocks lift may help to achieve your goals.

The thigh lift is an outpatient procedure that requires minimal anesthesia. Recovery usually takes between one and two weeks before painless and unrestricted movement returns. Incisions are usually hidden in the crease of the groin, and therefore adequate rest is necessary to speed recovery and decrease scarring.
