The 5 layer neck is a revolutionary technique that Dr. Anil Shah created and perfected that addresses all components of the neck to give the most holistic, comprehensive, long lasting and the utmost natural looking results. Traditionally a neck lift would only address the skin or superficial layers of fat of the neck Dr. Shah after years of research noted that in order to treat something you must treat the entirety of the issue meaning you must address all the structural components that contribute to the neck’s appearance. The 5 Layer Neck is entitled the 5 Layers because it treats all five layers – skin, subcutaneous fat, superficial muscular aponeurotic system, deeper fat and the platysma muscle. Dr. Shah’s 5 Layer Neck Technique requires a particular precision and an acute knowledge and attention of each layer. By having a full understanding and appreciation of each special patient’s neck and facial anatomy Dr. Shah can pay unique attention to each layer making for a flawless result.
The key aspects of the process involve the meticulous removal of the excess skin and then the perfected red wrapping to create a flawless neck contour – without over tightening to always ensure the most natural finish. The subcutaneous fat is specifically targeted with liposuction techniques giving the patient the best jawline and desirable neck angles. For the superficial muscular aponeurotic system the deeper fat is treated by adjusting these layers to correct all structural issues and ensuring the upper lifted tissues are supported for the most effective results. And finally the Platysma muscle is modified using specialized techniques to correct banding and drooping.
A benefit of the 5 Layer Neck is that it is designed to minimize tissue trauma therefore leading to a speedy recovery time in comparison to traditional neck liposuction techniques.
The key to a successfully sculpted neck lift is truly addressing the entirety of the neck – which means specific attention to every layer. The 5 Layer Neck technique emphasizes precision, detail and meticulous attention to detail which is why the results of this technique are unmatched.
Dr. Shah’s 5 Layer Neck technique has been written about in peer reviewed studies, the doctor has given lectures about the success of this technique and perhaps most importantly patients love their results from this groundbreaking technique. Dr. Shah’s primary focus is to ensure all his patients feel confident and empowered and helping them reach their aesthetic goal with their flawlessly sculpted neck.
