Neck Lift

Neck Lift Surgery

A neck lift surgery (also referred to as neck lifting surgery) involves removing excess skin, tightening the platysma muscle, and repositioning tissues for a more youthful contour. This procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes 2 to 3 hours depending on the extent of the lift and whether it's combined with a face lift neck procedure.

Common techniques include the neck and chin lift, neck and jowl lift, and neck lift and lower face lift, depending on each patient’s concerns and desired outcomes.

Neck lift is suitable for individuals who have excess skin and fat in the neck area, as well as sagging skin and visible banding in the platysma muscle. It is also suitable for those who want to achieve a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance in the neck area.
