Neck Lift (Platysmaplasty)

​

Refine Your Profile. Restore Youthful Definition.

A well-defined neck and jawline are key elements of a youthful and elegant appearance. Over time, skin laxity, fat accumulation, and muscle banding can lead to a “heavy” or aged neck contour.

A neck lift (platysmaplasty) is a highly effective surgical procedure designed to restore a firm, smooth, and naturally sculpted neck—enhancing both your profile and overall facial harmony.

​

​

What Can a Neck Lift Improve?

A neck lift can address:

• Sagging or loose skin under the chin

• Excess fat (double chin)

• Vertical neck bands (platysma bands)

• Loss of jawline definition

• “Turkey neck” appearance

The result is a cleaner, sharper neckline that blends seamlessly with the face.

​

​

Who Is an Ideal Candidate?

You may be a good candidate if you:

• Notice skin laxity or heaviness in the neck area

• Have visible neck bands or excess fat

• Feel your neck does not match the youthfulness of your face

• Are in good general health and have realistic expectations

Many patients choose a neck lift alone, while others combine it with a facelift for a more comprehensive rejuvenation.

​

​

The Procedure

The surgery is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the case.

Key steps may include:

• Removal or repositioning of excess fat

• Tightening of the platysma muscle

• Redraping and excision of excess skin

• Precise contouring of the jawline and neck

Incisions are carefully placed behind the ears and, when necessary, under the chin to ensure minimal visible scarring.

​

​

Recovery & Downtime

• Mild swelling and bruising are expected for the first 7–10 days

• Most patients return to social activities within 10–14 days

• Final results gradually improve over several weeks

You will notice a more defined neck contour early, with continued refinement over time.
