Techniques named for neck lift: Platysmaplasty.
Dr. Colgrove will skillfully perform your neck lift at our AAAASF-accredited outpatient surgery center.
Neck lift surgery is typically performed in Plastic Surgery Center of the South’s state-certified operating room on an outpatient basis. The procedure commonly takes approximately 2 to 3 hours, unless it is combined with another facial procedure.
This webinar by Marietta Facial Plastics, Laser & Aesthetics Center presents a comprehensive overview of the direct neck lift procedure, delivered by an experienced facial plastic surgeon with 25 years of practice and 12.5 years as chief of facial plastic surgery at Emory.
In cases where a full neck lift procedure is required, incisions will be made under the chin and either in front of or behind the ears.
A minimal neck lift, or platysmaplasty may be performed through a small incision under the chin. Through this incision liposuction of the chin is performed and the muscle bands beneath the chin (platysma muscle) are tightened.
The results of a neck lift are long-lasting, often enduring for 10 to 15 years.
Platysmaplasty allows the surgeon to reach the platysma muscle through incisions beneath the chin and/or behind the ears, then tighten or modify the muscle to improve neck contour.
Neck lift techniques often reposition, tighten, or partially release the platysma so the muscle lies flat, eliminating banding and supporting the overlying skin.
All surgical procedures carry some risk, but generally, neck lifts are safe. Possible side effects include a reaction to the anesthesia, swelling and numbness, which are temporary.
A full neck lift includes this chin incision but also requires incisions behind the ears as the neck skin is re-draped to improve & sharpen the profile.
Neck Lift generally runs $8,000–$16,000 per procedure, and each Marietta clinic sets its own price. The biggest variables are the provider's experience level and the specific device or product used. Newer technology and senior injectors price at the upper end. Pricing is quoted in US dollars (USD). Request a consultation from any of our listed Marietta clinics for a personalized quote.
Results vary by patient, but most Marietta providers report 6–18 months of sustained benefit from a full Neck Lift series.
Maintenance schedules vary. Most Marietta providers recommend periodic refresh sessions every 6–12 months once optimal results are achieved.
Nationally, $8,000 to $16,000 including surgeon, anesthesia, and facility. A limited submental platysmaplasty through a single incision under the chin sits at the lower end. A full neck lift with incisions behind the ears and skin removal sits higher. Combining it with a facelift raises the total but costs meaningfully less than doing the two operations separately.
They are neighbors, not synonyms. A facelift repositions the deeper tissue of the cheeks and jawline. A neck lift works below the jaw, tightening the platysma muscle, removing fat above or below it, and trimming loose skin. Many patients need both and have them together. Someone whose face has held up but whose neck has not is the classic candidate for a neck lift alone.
Each has a narrow lane. Botox can soften early muscle bands for a few months. Kybella and CoolSculpting remove fat under the chin but do nothing for loose skin or muscle, and removing fat under lax skin can make hanging worse. Ultrasound and radiofrequency devices tighten mild laxity modestly. Established bands and hanging skin are structural, and surgery is the only treatment that corrects structure.
The platysma is a thin sheet of muscle just under the skin of the neck. With age its front edges loosen and separate, and those edges show through the skin as two vertical cords. They tend to appear in the fifties and become more visible with animation. A platysmaplasty stitches the edges back together in the midline, which is why no cream or injectable reaches the problem.
The workhorse incision hides in the natural crease under the chin and typically heals to a faint line. When skin needs removing, incisions run behind the ears and into the hairline, in the same well-hidden pattern facelifts use. Neck skin heals well in most patients, and visible scarring is uncommon with a surgeon who closes without tension.
