Direct Incision or Z-Plasty Surgery Virginia Beach

Men with sagging necks pose a unique undertaking for an experienced plastic surgeon. Typical facelift incisions on female patients are usually hidden around the ears but most men wear shorter hairstyles and the most commonly used incision lines are often visible.

In addition, men who choose traditional facelift surgery often find that they need to shave under and behind their earlobes because bearded skin is typically lifted into these areas.

Why Direct Incision or Z-Plasty Surgery?

An option for men is the Direct Neck Excision with Z-Plasty. This procedure removes sagging skin, muscle, and fat from along the front of the neck. The resulting incision is closed with a Z shape to improve healing and smoothnes of the skin around the surgical site. This procedure, properly performed, provides durable rejuvenation for the male neck, without the problems associated with the more traditional facelift.

Occasionally, women are also a candidate for this procedure. Some women have extremely loose skin along the jawline. Direct neck excision and Z-Plasty may also be a preferred procedure for eliminating any remaining skin looseness on the neck after facelift surgery.
