Whether you’ve never really liked the look of your neck or it’s starting to become loose and less defined with time, the mini-necklift is a less-invasive (it still is surgery) way of recontouring it so that your neck looks younger, freshening up your overall appearance. Reality TV star Kris Jenner was open about her recent neck surgery, which eliminated slack skin on her neck for a younger look. Is a mini-necklift the right procedure for you?
The Benefit
It eliminates small amounts of saggy skin and fat and redefines the angles from the chin to the neck.
The Limitations
Neckbands may still be present. “Jowls may not be adequately addressed during a mini-necklift,” says Dallas facial plastic surgeon Jesse E. Smith, MD.
Product Pick
Firm up a slack neck with StriVectin-TL Tightening Neck Cream ($89). It claims to redefine and tighten the neck and jawline with proteins, niacin and hydrators. The cream prompts the skin to create new collagen, allowing the neck area to take on a more firm appearance.
