Neck Lift

A neck lift, also known as platysmaplasty or cervicoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that addresses signs of aging in the neck and jawline. It removes excess skin and fat, tightens the underlying muscles, and redefines the contour of the neck to create a smoother, more youthful appearance.

At Medixir Clinic, our neck lift procedures are tailored to the unique needs of each patient, providing natural results that restore definition to the lower face and neck. This surgery is particularly beneficial for individuals with sagging skin, muscle banding, or a double chin.

The procedure involves small incisions made behind the ears and sometimes under the chin. Through these incisions, the surgeon tightens neck muscles, removes excess fat, and repositions or trims sagging skin. Liposuction may also be used in conjunction for enhanced contouring.

Neck lifts are often performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation and typically take 2 to 3 hours. The procedure can be done alone or combined with a facelift, eyelid surgery, or chin augmentation for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Recovery from a neck lift is generally well-tolerated. Most patients experience some swelling, bruising, and tightness, which subside within a week or two. A compression garment may be worn to support healing and minimize swelling.

The results of a neck lift are long-lasting and can significantly improve the overall appearance and profile of the neck and jawline. Patients enjoy a more defined and elegant neck contour with minimal scarring, as incisions are discreetly hidden.

Ideal candidates for a neck lift include individuals in good health who are bothered by loose neck skin, muscle banding, or excess fat in the lower face and neck. A consultation at Medixir Clinic helps determine the best approach for your aesthetic goals.

Benefits of a neck lift include improved definition between the chin and neck, reduction of jowls, elimination of 'turkey neck', and an overall more youthful and refined appearance.

At Medixir Clinic, our experienced surgeons use advanced techniques and a personalized approach to deliver natural-looking outcomes while maintaining the safety and comfort of each patient.

If you are looking to rejuvenate your neck area and achieve a firmer, more sculpted profile, a neck lift at Medixir Clinic may be the right solution. Schedule your consultation today to explore your options.
