What is a Neck Lift?
A neck lift, also known as platysmaplasty or cervicoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the neck by addressing common signs of aging. It effectively eliminates sagging skin, tightens underlying muscles, and improves the contour of the jawline for a youthful and refined look.
Benefits of a Neck Lift
Eliminates Neck Bands: Smoothens the vertical neck bands caused by muscle separation.
Contours Jawline: Defines the transition between the neck and jaw, reducing jowls.
Smoothens Sagging Skin: Removes excess skin and tightens the remaining tissue.
Restores Youthful Appearance: Revitalizes your overall facial harmony by improving neck aesthetics.
How Does neck lift Help?
A neck lift is a transformative cosmetic procedure that offers numerous benefits, both aesthetic and functional, helping individuals regain confidence and achieve a youthful appearance.
The Procedure
The neck lift procedure is tailored to each individual’s needs, often involving:
Incisions: Small incisions are made behind the ears and/or under the chin.
Tightening Muscles: The platysma muscles are tightened to create a smoother contour.
Removing Excess Skin and Fat: Unwanted skin and fat are carefully removed for a sleek profile.
Closing the Incisions: The incisions are meticulously closed to minimize visible scarring.
The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia and takes about 2–3 hours.
This procedure is often combined with a facelift surgery to achieve a holistic result.
Recovery and Aftercare
Immediate Care: Mild swelling and bruising are common and subside within a few weeks.
Downtime: Most patients return to normal activities within 10–14 days.
Long-Term Care: Wearing a supportive chin strap aids healing and maintains the results.
