Techniques named for neck lift: Platysmaplasty.
A neck lift is performed through carefully placed incisions, often around the ears and sometimes beneath the chin.
The candidates for neck lifts in Sarasota include individuals with areas of excess fat and skin around the neck.
he offers neck lift procedures with discreet scars and a brief recovery period at his private surgical practice in Sarasota County, Florida.
Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Alberico J. Sessa specializes in combining the neck lift with neck liposuction at Sarasota Surgical Arts
A neck lift is a surgical procedure that smoothes and tightens the skin around the neck area. Similar to a facelift, a neck lift is performed by removing excess skin as well as tightening muscles in the neck.
Neck lift results become more visible as swelling improves and the tissues settle.
Platysmaplasty. This technique tightens neck muscles in areas that are sagging.
When needed, Dr. Lambiris can add targeted submental liposuction to reduce under-chin fullness, or pair the neck lift with skin resurfacing to improve texture around the mouth and along the jaw.
A facelift primarily targets sagging skin and wrinkles on the mid to lower face, while a neck lift focuses on loose skin, excess fat, and muscle bands in the neck area.
Neck Lift generally runs $8,000–$16,000 per procedure, and each Sarasota 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 Sarasota clinics for a personalized quote.
Initial results in 2–4 weeks, with full results developing over 3 months as collagen builds. Sarasota providers typically schedule follow-ups to track progress.
Maintenance schedules vary. Most Sarasota 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.
