Platysmaplasty / Neck Lift
If sagging neck skin, excess fat, or deep wrinkles are making you look older than you feel, Dr. Daria Hamrah, a top-rated facial cosmetic surgeon, offers neck lift surgery (platysmaplasty) to create a smoother, firmer, and more youthful neckline. This advanced procedure helps restore neck definition, improving both contour and balance between your face and neck.
What Does a Neck Lift Do?
A neck lift is a surgical procedure designed to tighten and smooth the neck area, helping you achieve a younger, more refined appearance. It’s ideal for:
- Tighten loose, sagging skin for a smoother appearance
- Remove excess fat deposits with neck liposuction
- Reduce vertical neck bands by tightening the platysma muscle
- Define the jawline and neck contour for a youthful, sculpted look
Many patients choose a neck lift to correct signs of aging, weight loss effects, or genetic predisposition to loose neck skin.
How Does the Neck Lift Work?
A neck lift typically involves a combination of techniques tailored to your goals. Here’s how it works:
- Liposuction: Removes excess fat deposits in the neck through small, discreet incisions (less than ½ inch). This is often the first step of the neck lift procedure.
- Cervicoplasty: Eliminates excess skin by making an incision beneath the chin, lifting and securing the skin with sutures for a smoother, tighter appearance.
- Platysmaplasty: Tightens the neck muscles by realigning or removing portions of them, reducing visible banding for a more youthful contour.
Recovery:
- Swelling and bruising are common for the first 1-2 weeks.
- Scars will fade and soften over time, becoming virtually invisible.
- Most patients resume daily activities after 10-14 days.
Following Dr. Hamrah’s post-op care guidelines ensures optimal recovery and long-lasting, natural results.
Am I a Good Candidate?
You may be a good candidate for a neck lift if you:
- Are in good overall health
- Have sagging neck skin, excess fat, or visible muscle banding
- Want to restore a smooth, youthful neckline that matches your facial appearance
Certain conditions, such as thyroid disorders or keloid scarring, may impact eligibility. During your consultation, Dr. Hamrah will evaluate your health history and cosmetic goals to create a personalized treatment plan.
