  1. Neck Lift Christopher J. Davidson, M.D. FACS

  2. Neck Lift • Aging is one of those things that happens whether we like it or not, and for most people, the neck can be one of most visually aging aspects of their appearance. As time goes on, our skin’s collagen and elastin declines, causing the skin to droop and sag. • The muscles become lax as well, and many people even develop folds on their necks.

  3. Neck Lift or Platysmaplasty • Platysmaplasty, commonly referred to as a neck lift, is a form of cosmetic plastic surgery involving tightening and removing skin from the human neck. • Commonly called neck muscle repair: surgery to repair a separated muscle under the chin and in front of the neck to create a better neckline and treat neck muscle bands.

  4. Neck Lift Procedure • A neck lift is usually done under local anesthesia with intravenous sedation to keep you comfortable, but general anesthesia is available as well. • The procedure sometimes requires one-inch incisions under the chin to tighten up the muscles. Additional incisions behind the ears are used as well. • After the incisions are made and the muscles tightened, the skin is pulled tight and excess skin is removed with incisions behind the ears. Everything is then neatly secured, and you’re off to recovery.

  5. Neck Lift Recovery • After surgery, your neck, jaw, and ears will be bruised and swollen for up to ten to fourteen days. You’ll be sent home with oral pain medications to deal with discomfort and an antibiotic to ward off infection. Your sutures will usually dissolve on their own. • While most people feel up to returning to a desk job within a week or so, some prefer to avoid work and social events for 2-3 weeks until the swelling and bruising is gone. The last of the swelling is usually gone within a month.
