Atlanta Neck Lift Plastic Surgeon

Neck Lift Surgery

Neck lift surgery offers a variety of procedures to greatly improve the appearance of the neck. These procedures include quick in-office cosmetic treatments with virtually no down time along with procedures requiring anesthesia and time off from daily activities. The following are terms for cosmetic procedures to address signs of aging in the neck:

Cervicoplasty
Platysmaplasty
Platysma Plication
Direct neck excision
Submental liposuction

Age Related Changes to the Neck

As we get older, the vertical bands or neck cords that form from underneath the chin to the bottom of the neck are caused by a separation in the Platysma muscle (a neck muscle) with bulging of a fat pad between the muscles and excess skin (turkey gobbler deformity). Botox has been described as treatment for the bands, but is rarely indicated as an isolated procedure.

The Basics of a Neck Lift Procedure

A Neck Lift is often referred to as a platysmaplasty or a cervicoplasty. A neck lift often lasts around 1-2 hours and is used to address the vertical bands or cords that form in the neck, excess fat, and extra skin. Often, a neck lift is combined with a face lift due to the incisions necessary to remove extra skin and because the two areas transition into each other.

During consultation, we will help you determine the concerns of the patients and tailor the surgical procedure keeping in mind the patients goals. Many neck lift procedures can be done in the office with local anesthesia.

To ensure proper, expeditious recovery from a neck lift procedure, we may place a compression bandage on you in order to help decrease post-operative swelling in the neck area. Usually, this is worn day and night for around 5-7 days and nightly thereafter.
