Loss of elasticity of skin, loosening of ligaments and gravity, induce changes in the neck, which contribute to aging. There is appearance of transverse folds, wrinkles and gravity induced platysmal bands. Platysmal bands are longitudinal / vertical bands of skin and muscle which run down the neck. There could be increased fat in the area under the jaw, which sags down too.

Rejuvenation of the neck is chiefly surgical and involves correction of the structural changes, such as lifting and tightening the sagging platysma, removing the excess sagging skin and liposuction of the under chin area. This lifts the neck up and tightens it. It gives better countours to the jaw and better youthful looking neck. For more information about these procedures please read the links on these procedures.
