NECK IMPROVEMENT SURGERY

Liposuction can be used to treat a fat neck, removing the extra fatty tissue and making the skin taut. This may be done under a local anesthetic. Three small incisions – under the chin and each ear- are made. Patients will need to wear a neck band, but recovery is fairly quick.

A neck lift is often performed in connection with a face lift.

In less severe cases Dr Wilkinson uses a scarless suture suspension technique.

An anterior cervicoplasty is recommended for male patients who wish to get rid of the 'dew-lap' – lose fat and skin on the neck. This is also a simple operation done under local anesthetic, like the regular neck lift for women.

Breast augmentation, liposuction and more; Dr. Wilkinson strives to provide the highest quality of care to her patients, as only another woman can. She brings to her cosmetic work a perceptive eye with a woman's gentle touch. As a plastic surgeon in Cape Town, she is further refined into a small minority of a select number of expert female cosmetic surgeons. About Dr. Nerina Wilkinson
