Neck Lift (Platysmaplasty) – Tighten and Elevate Your Neck Contours

A Neck Lift (Platysmaplasty) aims to create tightened, elevated contours that clearly distinguish the neck from the jawline, providing an elegant transition from the shoulders to the head. Dr. Jaggi’s Neck Lift procedure is designed to rejuvenate the neck by addressing sagging muscles, loose skin, and wrinkles around the neck for a more youthful and defined appearance.

There are various methods available to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing neckline, and the approach chosen depends on individual anatomy and personal goals. Dr. Jaggi will thoroughly discuss these options with each patient during a consultation. Based on your unique needs and desired outcomes, a customized neck lift may include one or more of the following procedures:

Skin Lift (Cervicoplasty)

Ideal for patients with poor skin elasticity or excess skin around the neck, this procedure removes loose skin to tighten the area and improve contour. It is often performed in conjunction with a facelift to achieve a comprehensive rejuvenation of the neck and face.

Neck Lift/Liposculpting

This technique tightens the underlying neck muscles and repositions fatty tissue to enhance definition. It's best for individuals with lax neck tissue who seek more dramatic results, restoring both muscle tone and skin elasticity for a firmer, more youthful neckline.

Neck Liposuction

Neck Liposuction removes excess fatty deposits from the neck, helping to reduce fullness and improve the profile. This procedure can be targeted to the entire neck or specifically beneath the chin. Neck Liposuction may also be combined with a Neck Lift to enhance the overall contour.

Neck Lift Recovery

Recovery time after a neck lift varies depending on individual factors and the extent of surgery. Most patients are able to resume daily activities, including work, within 2 weeks. You may experience a tight sensation around the neck for several weeks. Bruising and swelling are common and should subside gradually, with visible bruising typically disappearing within the first week. The "tight" feeling may persist for a few months, but will eventually fade as the neck heals.

Neck Lift Surgery Preparation

To prepare for neck lift surgery, patients should avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and herbal supplements as they can increase the risk of bleeding. Additionally, a responsible adult should accompany the patient to and from the surgery and stay with them for 24 hours following the procedure.

Tightened, elevated contours are the goal of an excellent neck lift. The neck should be easily distinguished from the jawline, lending an elegant transition from the shoulders to the head.
