Techniques named for neck lift: Platysmaplasty, deep plane face and neck lifting, Extended deep plane neck lift.
Dr. Maloney may recommend combining chin implant surgery with another facial rejuvenation, like rhinoplasty, neck liposuction or neck lift to enhance the facial profile.
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.
a necklift is often combined with a facelift
Neck lifts are intended to help men and women who have started to notice excess wrinkling of the skin on the neck, a “turkey wattle” or double chin, or pronounced jowl lines
Often, neck lift surgery is paired with facelift surgery to address slack muscles, extra skin, and excess fat accumulation of the face and neck.
Dr. Maloney will often contour some of the deep fat and tighten the platysma muscle. This is called a Platysmaplasty.
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.
A necklift addresses loose skin, prominent muscles (“turkey neck”), and extra fat in the neck and jawline.
Facial liposuction can be performed as an isolated procedure or in combination with FaceTite or neck lift.
An isolated deep plane neck lift contours the under-the-chin and neck structures including deep fat pads, submandibular or spit-producing glands, and muscles.
An extended deep plane neck lift involves the contouring of the deep neck structures like muscles, spit-producing glands, and fat; tightening the muscles under the jawline; and removing excess or loose skin via incisions behind the ears.
Typically, your results from your neck lift in Atlanta are visible within a few weeks, though your final results may take several months to fully manifest.
The scarring after a neck lift is minimal.
On average, facelift and neck lift surgeries take about two to three hours to complete, depending on the extent of the procedure.
A neck lift concentrates on jowls, loose skin on the neck, and fat under the chin.
Neck Lift generally runs $8,000–$16,000 per procedure, and each Sandy Springs 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 Sandy Springs clinics for a personalized quote.
Results vary by patient, but most Sandy Springs providers report 6–18 months of sustained benefit from a full Neck Lift series.
Most patients wait 24 hours before applying makeup to avoid irritation on freshly-treated skin.
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.
