Neck Lift

Neck lift is the solution to the uncomfortable “turkey neck” that corresponds to a severe flaccidity of the skin and neck muscles, and the double chin is one of the most annoying changes that may lead to choose this surgical procedure.
This area has been overlooked by surgeons due to the increased difficulty of the procedure, the long duration of surgery and the need for intensive postgraduate training. However, it is a surgery with a high rate of gratification for both the patient and the surgeon and one of the main investments of plastic surgeons at UP HPA, whether it is Dr. Tiago Baptista Fernandes, Dr. David Rasteiro or Dr. Eduardo Matos. In consultation, the plastic surgeons explain the entire procedure, showing clinical cases with pictures of before and after neck lift.
