  Turkey Neck Surgery, also called Neck Lift or platysmaplasty, is a cosmetic surgery that eliminates the sagging skin’s appearance and wrinkles surrounding the neck area, which are linked with ageing. What is Turkey Neck? The turkey neck in men refers to an aesthetic condition where the skin around the neck tends to loose and wrinkled, often hanging or sagging, and looks like a turkey’s wattle.  The condition mainly occurs due to ageing, but can also be caused by tremendous weight loss, genetics, and sun damage.

But if you’re considering going under the knife or needle, you deserve to be informed. In our series, Life in Plastic , we’re breaking down everything you need to know, from lip injections to invasive treatments. Choose to change your looks or don’t — the point is, the choice is yours. One might say I have an obsession with myself, though not in a way that allows me to move through the world feeling especially at ease with what nature has bestowed upon me. Rather, I’m always in a constant state of self-change. Much like a therapist unable to take her own advice, I see others — large noses, small noses, stringy hair, coarse hair, curvy bodies, lanky bodies — and fixate on, and often envy, their striking brand of beauty. When it comes to myself, though, well enough is rarely left alone. Until a few years ago, my commitment to vanity...

 Originally published on novafaces.com- Erase Aging With a ‘Mid-Facelift’?  Deciding to have a traditional facelift is hard enough: After all, it’s expensive, invasive surgery on the most noticeable part of your body. Now the decision may become even more difficult. Some plastic surgeons are promoting a controversial procedure called the “mid-facelift,” which can be done by itself or can be done along with a traditional facelift. The incisions made in the mid-facelift are just the same as those made in the traditional facelift, but the surgeon cuts much more deeply into the muscle tissue of the face in the newer procedure.

Facelift surgery lifts and firms sagging facial tissues to restore a more naturally youthful facial appearance. It is often said that having a facelift works to “turn back the clock,” helping a patient look like a younger version of him or herself. By removing excess, sagging skin, smoothing deep folds, and lifting and tightening the deep facial tissues, a facelift surgery can help a patient look not just younger, but simply “better.” Why Have a Facelift? As we age, skin begins to lose elasticity, and facial tissues lose volume. Eventually, this results in “jowls” on the lower face, deep wrinkles, and loose skin on the neck. While this is a natural part of growing older, patients who are bothered by these signs of aging may find a facelift to be a good solution. If any of the following describe you, a facelift is an option to co...
