Procedure: Neck Lift

When you look in the mirror are you concerned about the appearance of your neck? Is there too much loose skin, excess fat or a turkey wattle? A neck lift can be performed to correct these concerns. It may be as simple as having liposuction or more involved. Frequently, a neck lift is performed in combination with other procedures such as a facelift.

A complete physical exam will determine the contributing factors to your neck concerns. It is not uncommon that as we age bands will appear under the chin area. In many cases this is related to a separation of the neck muscle known as the Platysma. The medial edges of this muscle will sag and become prominent. This can easily be corrected by performing a procedure known as a Platysmaplasty. An incision is made under the chin and the muscle bands are sewn together creating a hammock effect supporting the neck region.

A complete Neck Lift involves removal of excess fat in the neck region either by direct excision or liposuction. A Platysmaplasty to correct the sagging separated neck muscles. Finally complete undermining of the neck skin to allow it to redrape over the underlying tissues. Generally, this is done through an incision behind the ear and under the chin. In many cases no skin is removed.

After a Neck Lift when you encounter someone who has not seen you in awhile, they will think that you lost a significant amount of weight. No one will recognize that you have had surgery.
