What is a Neck Lift?
+

+
A neck lift (also called cervicoplasty and platysmaplasty) is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at tightening the skin and muscles of the neck, improving the appearance of sagging and wrinkles. It is often chosen by individuals who wish to restore a youthful look to the neck area, reducing excess skin and muscle laxity.
Benefits of a Neck Lift:
- Improvement of the neck and jawline contour.
- Reduction of excess skin and sagging.
- Correction of the so-called “double chin.”
- Rejuvenation of the overall facial appearance.
- Long-lasting results with a natural outcome.
Addresses the “bands” of the platysma in the neck, tightening the underlying muscle for a firmer appearance.
Removes excess skin in the neck, ideal after significant weight loss or pronounced sagging due to aging.

How the procedure is performed
