What is Neck lift Surgery?
Neck lift Surgery (Platysmaplasty or Cervicoplasty) is a cosmetic surgical procedure that targets signs of aging and skin laxity in the neck and jawline area. It addresses: loose, sagging skin, excess fat under the chin (double chin), visible neck bands or vertical muscle cords, loss of jawline definition, deep creases and folds in the neck. The result is a tighter, more sculpted neck that blends seamlessly with your facial contours.

How the Procedure Works?
Consultation & Neck Analysis
Your surgeon performs a detailed evaluation of your skin elasticity, fat distribution, and muscle structure using physical exam and advanced imaging. Your aesthetic goals are mapped to a personalized surgical plan.
Surgical Approach Selection
Depending on your anatomy and goals, we may recommend:
Traditional Necklift: Involves incisions behind the ears and under the chin, for full access to skin, fat, and muscles.
Mini Necklift: Smaller incisions and shorter recovery for milder sagging.
Anesthesia & Surgery
General anesthesia is used for maximum comfort and safety.The procedure involves strategically placed incisions behind the ears and/or under the chin. Liposuction may be used to remove submental fat, enhancing the jawline definition. The platysma muscle is then sutured to tighten and improve the neck contour. Finally, excess skin is trimmed and redraped to achieve a smoother, more youthful appearance. The procedure takes 1–3 hours, depending on procedure complexity.
Closure & Recovery
All incisions are closed with meticulous sutures for minimal scarring.
Recovery Timeline
Days 1–3: Swelling, bruising, and tightness are normal; compression bandage worn
Days 4–7: Discomfort decreases, light activity may resume
Week 2: Sutures removed (if external); most bruising fades
Week 3–4: Back to normal activities, visible neck definition returns
3–6 Months: Final results settle, scars fade
1 Year: Complete tissue healing and long-term rejuvenation
