Plastic Surgery - Neck Lift (Platysmaplasty) Guide

 
Overview of Procedure

Platysmaplasty, the neck lift procedure aims at removing excess skin and fat from the neck area. As people age, the skin on their neck tends to hang or sag. This procedure can be done alone, or accompanied by a face lift


The Right Candidates

Any healthy person over the age of 40 who desires to remove excess skin in the neck area due to age or weight loss.

Risks and Side Effects

Some risks are: allergic reaction to the anesthesia, bleeding, infection, temporary numbness, facial nerve injury, infection


Surgery

The first step is a detailed consultation with your surgeon, who will discuss with you the different treatment options and combinations available. After an anesthesia is administered, an incision will be made under your chin, and sometimes behind your ears where the skin will be gently raised. Your surgeon will then tighten the muscles underlying the soft tissue in the neck and remove any excess skin or fat by liposuction or cutting it out. The skin is resurfaced o the neck and then incisions are closed with dissolving or removable stitches. This procedure is outpatient, which means that the patient can return home the same day.

Neck lift surgery last approximately 2-3 hours

Recovery

Patients are typically under general anesthesia during this procedure. Bruising and swelling is to be expected, and can be partially eliminated with a cold compress. The patient should avoid any anti-inflammatory medications or medications that thin the blood, such as aspirin.

It takes approximately two weeks to fully recover from the neck lift operation.

Patients should avoid strenuous activity for about 10 days, but it should be safe to return to work in about 5 days.


Results

You will see the full results in about 3-4 weeks. The results typically last for 5-10 years.
