In today’s digital age, the increase in screen time has given rise to a new aesthetic concern known as "tech neck." This condition refers to the accelerated aging of the neck and jawline caused by prolonged use of devices. At Sunder Plastic Surgery, we recognize how modern lifestyles can impact facial aging, and we offer advanced solutions to restore a youthful and elegant contour.
Led by Dr. Sarmela Sunder, a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, our practice specializes in neck lift surgery. This transformative procedure is designed to tighten sagging skin, smooth deep creases, and redefine the jawline. In this context, we will explore what tech neck is, how a neck lift can effectively address it, and why Dr. Sunder is the ideal choice for this procedure.
Tech Neck: A Modern Epidemic.
Smartphones, tablets, and laptops dominate our daily lives, making "tech neck" an increasingly common concern. Here’s what you need to know:
- This phenomenon arises from constantly looking down at screens, leading to visible signs of aging, such as sagging skin, deep creases, and a loss of jawline definition
- The combination of poor posture and repetitive downward motion accelerates the breakdown of collagen and elastin, causing premature skin laxity
- Additionally, the repetitive strain placed on neck muscles contributes to horizontal wrinkles and an aged appearance
How a Neck Lift Addresses Tech Neck
A neck lift, also known as a lower rhytidectomy, is a highly effective surgical solution for reversing the visible effects of tech neck. Examples of how a neck lift can remedy tech neck include the following:
Tightens Sagging Skin: Excess, lax skin caused by prolonged screen use is carefully removed, restoring a smooth, firm appearance.
- Redefines the Jawline: A neck lift eliminates jowls and creates a sculpted, youthful jawline.
- Reduces Wrinkles and Creases: The procedure smooths out horizontal lines and deep folds, eliminating telltale signs of tech neck.
- Corrects Muscle Laxity: Platysmaplasty, a key component of the neck lift, tightens weakened neck muscles for long-lasting improvement.
- Long-Term Results: Unlike non-surgical treatments, a neck lift offers lasting rejuvenation, typically maintaining results for 10-15 years.
Is a Neck Lift the Right Solution for You?
While non-invasive treatments such as BOTOX, microneedling, and skin-tightening lasers can temporarily improve, they may not fully correct the structural concerns associated with tech neck. A surgical neck lift may be the most effective and lasting solution if you struggle with moderate to severe skin laxity, deep wrinkles, or an undefined jawline.
Ideal candidates for a neck lift include individuals who:
- Experience visible sagging or loose skin around the neck and jawline
- Have prominent neck bands or deep horizontal wrinkles
- Struggle with excess fat or a double chin unresponsive to diet and exercise
- Desire long-term rejuvenation with natural-looking results
