A neck lift is an effective solution for addressing sagging skin, muscle banding, and excess fat under the chin. This procedure targets the lower face and neck to restore a more youthful, contoured appearance. By tightening the underlying muscles and removing excess tissue, a neck lift enhances your profile and reduces visible signs of aging. Whether you're looking to refine your jawline or smooth out neck wrinkles, a neck lift offers long-lasting, natural results with minimal recovery time.
What is a Neck Lift Procedure?
A neck lift, also known as platysmaplasty, is a cosmetic surgery designed to reshape and rejuvenate the neck and jawline by addressing the visible signs of aging such as sagging skin, fatty deposits, and muscle laxity. The procedure targets common concerns like loose skin, jowls, and vertical neck bands, restoring a smoother, firmer, and more youthful appearance.
During the procedure, the surgeon makes carefully placed incisions, typically behind the ears or under the chin, to minimize visible scarring. Through these incisions, excess fat is removed, and the platysma muscles (the muscles that run vertically along the neck) are tightened or repositioned to correct sagging. The skin is then redraped over the newly contoured muscles, and any excess skin is excised for a tighter, more defined neck and jawline.
A neck lift is particularly effective for patients who experience age-related sagging or those with genetically predisposed features that cause the neck to appear more aged. The procedure can be performed alone or combined with other facial procedures, like a facelift or liposuction, for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
