As we age the skin around the neck becomes loose , hanging skin. Neck lift cosmetic surgery can give you a tighter, firmer, smoother looking neck with a more youthful appearance. Neck lift surgery (platysmaplasty) is a procedure that corrects sagging, loose, wrinkled necklines by firming the muscle between the collarbone and the jaw and includes liposcutioning of the neck.

 

Dr. Boris can complete a neck lift cosmetic surgery procedure in about 60 to 90 minutes on an outpatient basis at the Culver City Surgical Center serving Beverly Hills and Los Angeles. The surgery begins with the exact placement of the incision in under the chin. The incision is placed under the chin and scars are barely visible. Through this incision liposuction is performed and the loose muscles of the neck are tightened to re-establish neck contour. This procedure is normally performed with sedation anesthesia. A neck-lift is sometimes combined with other facial cosmetic procedures such as a chin implant or facelift to establish a more harmonious facial contour.

Most patients can go back to work after one week, however many patients are doing normal routine activities within the first few days (except exercise). The neck is very sensitive, and a certain degree of swelling and bruising is to be expected. A head wrap is worn for the first 24 hours after surgery and a head band is encouraged for the first post-operative week.

Most patients who have the neck lift cosmetic surgery done say they feel years younger after and achieve more self-confidence. If you think that neck lift surgery might be right for you, Dr. Boris is available for a free consultation at our Culver City Surgical Center, he will discus the neck lift surgery along with necklift costs and before and after photographs.

► The best candidates for a NECK lift

There is no ideal age for neck-lift surgery. Candidates may range from teenagers to octogenarians. People who suffer from certain diseases may be excluded from treatment. Talk to a qualified plastic surgeon about your goals and expectations, and to determine if you would be a good candidate. Your doctor will also review your medical history and the risks associated with the procedures to create a treatment plan that works best for you.

Before you decide to have surgery, think carefully about your expectations and discuss them with your surgeon.
