Neck Lift Surgery

The neck is often the first area to betray our age, yet it is frequently the most overlooked. Whether it is the appearance of a turkey wattle, persistent vertical bands, or a loss of jawline definition, a poorly defined neck can mask an otherwise youthful face. A modern Neck Lift is not about pulling skin tight — it is about structural restoration.

What is a Neck Lift?

Technically known as a lower cervicoplasty or platysmaplasty, a neck lift is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the jawline and neck. While many mini procedures focus only on the skin surface, our approach treats the neck in three dimensions:

• The Muscle: Tightening the platysma muscle to eliminate vertical banding.
• The Fat: Removing excess submental fat through specialized liposuction or direct excision.
• The Framework: Repositioning deeper structures to create a sharp, well-defined angle between the neck and the chin.

What are the Benefits of a Neck Lift?

• A Crisp Jawline: Clearly separates the face from the neck, creating a distinct, youthful border.
• Elimination of Jowling: When combined with a Deep Plane Facelift, lifts the fallen tissue that obscures the lower jaw.
• Correction of Turkey Wattle: Removes the redundant, hanging skin that typically resists diet and exercise.
• Tension-Free Results: By focusing on the deeper musculature and underlying structures, the skin lays flat and smooth without a pulled or operated appearance.

Deep Neck Contouring: The Modern Difference

Traditional neck lifts often fail because they only address the surface. We often utilize Deep Neck Contouring, which involves addressing the sub-platysmal structures — such as the digastric muscles and submandibular glands — to ensure that the foundation of your neck is as crisp and defined as possible. This is the difference between a good result and a transformative one.
