What is Neck Lift Surgery?

Neck Lift Surgery, platysmaplasty, is a surgical procedure that involves lifting and tightening the skin of the neck to achieve the desired firmness and shape. Neck Lift Surgery results in a smoother and more harmonious look by highlighting its contours.

The neck is one of the first regions to show the first significant aging signs and is often, due to its visibility, the cause of patient dissatisfaction. Changes in the neck most often involve a combination of fat deposits, excess skin folds, and muscle relaxation (platysma). The skin of the neck becomes relaxed, wrinkled, dry, and loses elasticity.

Benefits of Neck Lift Surgery

The goal of the Neck Lift Surgery is to achieve a rejuvenated appearance of your neck. Most look younger after surgery and feel happier about their side-view profile look.

A more defined jawline and neck area result with an increase in self-confidence and makes any patient feel good about themselves.

Neck Lift can take years off your neck appearance. However, it is important to emphasize that Neck Lift doesn’t stop aging, so the results are not permanent.

Neck Lift Surgical Procedure

Neck Lift Surgery can be performed under local or general anesthesia and consists of tightening the platysma muscle and removing excess skin. Liposuction of the neck can also be an part of the procedure and if necessary it would be the first step of the procedure.

The duration of the surgery can range from one hour to as much as five, depending on the extent and specific needs of each patient. A full Neck Lift surgery performed under anaesthetic can take between one and two hours. It will probably involve an overnight stay in hospital.

Less involved procedures, such as a Silhouette Neck Lift can usually be performed using local anaesthetic as an outpatient treatment.

Incisions will be carefully placed within the natural creases of the neck skin, behind the ears and under the hairline, and so are pretty well hidden. The skin is connected and sutured in the area behind the ear or under the chin, which reduces the visibility of the incision. In the case where the skin of the neck is extremely loose, droopy or relaxed, the surgical cuts are extended 2 to 4 cm along the edge of the hairline, where the incision remains hidden.

Neck Lift is often performed in combination with Face Lifting and other facial rejuvenation procedures, so the surgical .
