Emerging Technologies In Neck Lifting

Enhancing results in neck lifting is one of the challenges that has focused the efforts and attention of many plastic surgeons as well as the science and industries associated with our practice.

Over the last 15 years a lot of development effort has been targeted at dissolvable materials that can provide strong support for a longer period of time and at the same time avoid leaving permanent materials which may be a source of hindrance for later interventions.

A relatively recent addition to the options involving neck lifting he has represented by the Endotine® ribbon, which is a strip of flexible material with tiny hooks on the inner surface.

It allows for a more widespread support to the deeper tissues in the neck compared to what sutures can achieve, and dissolves in the space of four to six month, allowing the tissues ample time to set themselves in the new position. During the surgery, the surgeon can adjust the tension to optimise the results, and the material is fixed in the deeper tissues behind the ears.

It also allows for a limited access contouring for the neck to minimise the scars, and can be used to improve the jowl area also. It can be part of additional support techniques with the more traditional neck lift or facelift procedures.
