Neck Lift

A neck lift, known in surgery as a lower rhytidectomy or platysmaplasty, rejuvenates the neck and jawline by tightening loose skin, softening vertical neck bands and removing or repositioning fat beneath the chin. With age, weight change and sun exposure, the skin and the broad platysma muscle of the neck lose their firmness, and the smooth line between the jaw and the neck blurs into loose, sagging skin and a double chin. By restoring a clean, defined contour from the chin to the collarbone, a neck lift makes the whole face look fresher and more rested. It is frequently combined with a facelift or with liposuction so that the neck and the lower face age in harmony. Many people travel abroad for this surgery to reach experienced facial surgical teams, shorter waiting times and the privacy to recover quietly away from home.
