Neck lift (platysmaplasty):

A neck lift (platysmaplasty) is a cosmetic surgery that can give your neck a more contoured and youthful appearance. It works by lifting and tightening your platysma muscle.

What is the platysma muscle?

You may wish to pursue neck lift surgery if you have:

• Excess fat in your neck.
• Horizontal bands of skin (neck bands).
• Lost a lot of weight and have loose skin on your neck.
• Neck skin that appears saggy, similar to the tissue that hangs down from a turkey’s neck.
• Wrinkles

What’s the difference between a facelift and a neck lift?

A facelift restores a youthful appearance to the upper portion of your face. Facelifts often include components of a neck lift.

Neck lift surgery is a less invasive option. It focuses on the area below your chin and above your collarbone.
