Necklift   (Platysmaplasty)

The neckline is one of the most defining characteristics of a youthful face. Similarly loose sagging skin and excess fat of the neck and jowls are prominent signs of the aging face.  Normal aging, gravity, heredity or weight loss and weight gain all contribute to these unwelcome signs of aging.  Necklift surgery corrects and rejuvenates the neck by removing excess fat, lifting and tightening loose muscles and eliminating sagging skin to restore definition and contour.

Your Personal Consultation
During your personal consultation with Dr. Levine you will discuss your concerns, expectations and goals, and have all your questions answered. Together you will create a treatment plan tailored to address your needs effectively. He will examine your neck to determine the extent of your surgery. Photos will be taken and computer imaging will be used to assist in developing a realistic plan.

Necklift Surgery
Dr. Levine will make incisions around the ears and possibly under your chin through which he will work to manipulate the soft tissue as needed. The excess skin will then be trimmed and the remaining skin will be lifted into place, redraped, and sutured. Your necklift surgery will take from 2-4 hours. 

What To Expect After Your Necklift Surgery
You should experience mild to moderate discomfort along with some swelling and bruising. Most patients are able to return to work within 10-14 days.
