The medical term for a neck lift is platysmaplasty. The procedure surgically removes excess skin and fat from the neck to address age-related wrinkling and creasing in this area, and provide a smoother, slimmer profile.
A cosmetic neck lift may be performed on its own, or in conjunction with another procedure such as a facelift, soft tissue augmentation with dermal fillers or eye lift.
Overview
A neck lift (platysmaplasty) is a cosmetic surgery that can give your neck a more contoured and youthful appearance. It works by lifting and tightening your platysma muscle.
What is the platysma muscle?
Your platysma enables movement in your lower face. It’s a thin sheet of muscle that goes from your collarbones to your lower face. If your platysma weakens, it can affect your neck’s appearance.
Who is neck lift surgery for?
- Excess fat in your neck.
- Horizontal bands of skin (neck bands).
- Lost a lot of weight and have loose skin on your neck.
- Neck skin that appears saggy, similar to the tissue that hangs down from a turkey’s neck.
- Wrinkles.
Can I achieve the effects of a neck lift without surgery?
Cosmetic procedures can enhance the appearance of your neck (nonsurgical neck lift). It may take multiple procedures to achieve your goals. And the results are temporary.
Can a platysmaplasty improve the appearance of a double chin?
During a neck left, surgeons remove some fat tissue. But if a double chin is your primary concern, you may wish to pursue other options such as double chin surgery.
