Is Your Neck Giving Away Your Age? It Doesn’t Have To

Is Your Neck Giving Away Your Age? It Doesn’t Have To

If you struggle with the fact that your appearance doesn’t match how you feel, you likely understand why anti-aging products and procedures are so popular. Time takes a toll, often well before you’re ready for it. 

Being unhappy with how you look can change how you behave in subtle ways, leaving you less happy and vibrant than you could be. 

Dr. Michael Nichols and the staff at Oral & Facial Surgery of Mississippi offer cosmetic services to help our patients feel great about how they look so they enjoy life with confidence. One frequently overlooked aspect of a youthful appearance is the neck. 

Your age and your neck

Although people put a lot of focus on reducing signs of aging on the face, the neck is equally important in achieving a youthful appearance. Most of the time, your neck is as exposed to the elements as your face, meaning it’s susceptible to sun damage. 

Your genetics play a role in how you age, as do your lifestyle and habits. For example, smoking increases signs of aging. It’s also possible that, over time, you’ve lavished more care on your face than your neck. 

In many people, aging shows up first in the neck. In recent years, people have started looking for help in reducing the appearance of aging in the neck and chest area as much as they’re looking to reduce wrinkles and eliminate dark spots on the face. 

Procedures that can help

As with most cosmetic-related issues, prevention is your best bet. We offer a line of facial treatments that can help your neck too. 

Skin care is crucial to Dr. Nichols’ practice, which is why we offer skin care services through our Defy Facial Spa — though “facial” is part of the name, these services can help your neck. 

Laser skin resurfacing can help your body produce more collagen to improve the appearance of your neck. Microneedling is another treatment often associated with facial skin that can benefit your neck. 

A face or neck lift is a surgical procedure that benefits your neck and lower face. It can offer surprising results, leaving you looking revitalized and refreshed. Dr. Nichols tailors the procedure to your specific needs. 

With a face or neck lift, Dr. Nichols makes a small incision under your chin to tighten the skin, soft tissue, and neck/jaw muscles. If necessary, he may also perform liposuction in the area. 

Get personalized guidance

To get results you love, work with a skilled practitioner who understands your goals and can help you decide on the products and procedures most likely to achieve them. Dr. Nichols makes sure he knows your expectations and that you fully understand his recommendations. 

If you’re ready to improve your appearance and lessen the signs of aging, call the Oral & Facial Surgery of Mississippi office in Flowood, Mississippi, today to schedule a consultation.
