During the COVID pandemic, communication largely shifted to interaction with others through a screen. This led more people to notice the importance of the neck in their appearance, primarily for two reasons. First, the cameras used for digital video communication typically have a field of view restricted to the face and neck, so there are fewer human features to distract us. Second, we were looking at ourselves for much longer than usual. In our daily lives, we don't usually look at ourselves as much as we look at others. We mainly look at ourselves in the morning or evening when we're getting ready for the day ahead or for bed. This increased exposure to the aesthetics of our necks during lockdown made us more aware of them.

That's why we've seen a surge in neck sculpting and rejuvenation procedures ever since . I say sculpting and rejuvenation because it's a procedure performed on people from 17 to 80 years old. In youth, the goal is to sculpt the neck of those whose neck doesn't define the face from the chest, making it seem as if they don't have a neck at all. This detracts from their presence, elegance, and youthful appearance. As the years go by, the procedure is performed to rejuvenate the neck, which generally accumulates skin laxity. This results in a loss of jawline definition or a neck that resembles a turkey's.

The procedures are varied and must be personalized according to each person's characteristics. This is why we sometimes see less-than-ideal results, as it is a true art and must be tailored to each individual. These procedures can range from minor interventions, such as minimally invasive techniques to tighten the skin and reduce subcutaneous tissue, to surgical procedures to sculpt the neck. The beautiful patient whose photos we can see below only needed a minimally invasive procedure to achieve the separation of her face and chest, resulting in a more defined jawline.
