Neck wrinkles like any other wrinkles on the face are signs of aging. It is a natural process that everyone goes through throughout their lives. Different factors might contribute to the premature appearance of wrinkles apart from the natural aging process. Those factors include sun exposure, genetic predisposition, etc.

The most effective method to improve vertical neck wrinkles would be neck lift. The doctor makes a 4-5 cm incision below the chin. Then, he ties two vertical line wrinkles into one and closes the incision with sutures. The surgery does not leave any visible scarring.

The procedure is done under local anesthesia with IV sedation. It takes 1 hour, and the stitches are removed on the 7th day after the surgery. It is necessary to take prescribed medications after the surgery. For the first two weeks, you can apply an iced compression to reduce swelling. Moreover, you should avoid sauna, hot bath, physical exercise, and alcoholic beverages for 2~3 weeks after stitches removal.
