As you age, your neck may start sagging due to a decrease in collagen and elastin in your skin. At Contour Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery Center, our experts offer a range of solutions to help you take control of your appearance.
Neck Lift

Rejuvenation efforts tend to focus on the face but the neck is equally deserving of attention. The area is just as prone to wrinkling and sagging.
What Is a Neck Lift?
A neck lift addresses the muscle, skin and fat in the décolleté area, removing excess skin where needed to provide a younger, natural-looking appearance. While a neck lift is a surgical procedure, it is minimally invasive and usually completed on an outpatient basis, which often leads to fast results and little downtime.
Addressing a Sagging or Turkey Neck With a Neck Lift
For many people, a neck lift is the perfect solution for this sensitive area. Like your face, the skin around your neck is more delicate than that of the rest of your body. This means you need to take more care of this area, and it may begin to show signs of aging sooner.
The sagging skin around your neck can result from a number of factors, including genetics, sun damage, changes in weight and even gravity. Neck lift surgery can address all of these concerns at once.
The Benefits of a Neck Lift
Above all else, the Contour Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery Center team strives to make you more confident in your appearance. A neck lift for sagging skin can do more than that, too — less loose skin and fat in this area can make you more comfortable and avoid skin pinching or rolling. It can also help prevent the formation of wrinkles.
Understanding Neck Platysmaplasty
Platysmaplasty is one aspect of the neck lift procedure, but it can also be completed on its own. This term refers to the part of the surgery that addresses the neck muscles specifically, reducing or even removing the appearance of neck bands.
How Is Platysmaplasty Performed?
Platysmaplasty and neck lift surgery are typically performed on an outpatient basis, although some patients will often combine it with facelift surgery. On its own, a neck procedure is less invasive and involves making several discreet incisions to surgically excise excess skin and fat. Liposuction may be employed as well. In the case of a platysmaplasty, the neck muscles are adjusted and tightened to make the muscle resistant to new neck bands forming.
Neck Lift Downtime and Results
Some swelling and bruising can be expected following a platysmaplasty and/or neck lift procedure. However, only a few days of downtime may be needed, provided no other procedures have been performed simultaneously. Patients see a noticeable difference in their necklines immediately, and as swelling subsides, the rejuvenating and long-lasting results of this surgery will become fully apparent.
