Neck Lift – Platysmaplasty
Are you seeking to rejuvenate your neck and achieve a more youthful appearance? Our neck lift surgery, also known as platysmaplasty, could be the ideal solution for you. Say goodbye to sagging skin and hello to a firmer, more defined neckline. Below, we’ll explore everything you need to know about this transformative facial cosmetic surgery.
What is Neck Lift (Platysmaplasty) Surgery?
A neck lift, or platysmaplasty, is a plastic surgery procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the neck by tightening the neck muscles and removing excess neck skin and fat. Often performed alongside a facelift, neck lifts create a more youthful appearance by eliminating loose, sagging skin under the chin, correcting vertical folds or “bands” on the neck, and removing excess fat. This face and neck procedure effectively addresses the sagging skin, muscle banding, and fat deposits that contribute to an aged or “turkey neck” appearance.

Candidates for a Neck Lift
Ideal candidates for the neck lift surgical procedure are individuals who are in good health, have realistic expectations about the results, and are seeking to address concerns such as sagging skin beneath the chin, muscle banding, loose skin due to the aging process, sagging tissues, and excess fatty deposits in the neck area. The best way to determine your candidacy for treatment is by scheduling a consultation with one of our plastic surgeons.
The Neck Lift Procedure
Before your neck lift surgery, you will be administered local anesthesia or general anesthesia to help maintain your comfort during the procedure. The neck lift procedure involves your cosmetic surgeon making small incisions behind the ears and sometimes under the chin. During neck surgery the underlying muscles are then tightened, excess skin is removed, and fat deposits are reduced to create a smoother, more youthful neck contour. The procedure can be customized to meet your specific aesthetic goals, often in combination with a facelift for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Neck Lift Results and Recovery
Recovery from the neck lift cosmetic procedure typically involves some swelling and bruising, which gradually subsides within a few weeks. Most neck contouring patients can return to their normal activities within two weeks, enjoying the long-lasting benefits of a firmer, more youthful neck free of excess fat cells. Your cosmetic surgeons will provide you with a recovery neck contouring guide to follow to aid in your healing. The results of a neck lift are often long-lasting, especially when complemented with a healthy lifestyle.
