A Neck Lift Brings Your Neck Back Into Shape

For many people, the neck is the first area to show age. For people who have lost weight, an unfortunate side effect may be leftover, loose-hanging skin that has lost its elasticity. Dermacare Cosmetic Surgery provides neck lifts to improve these areas of concern dramatically.

Typically, a Neck Lift will include liposuction to remove fat. Other procedures include Cervicoplasty to remove excess skin and Platysmaplasty to remove or tighten neck muscles eliminate unwanted band lines.

The Procedures

Liposuction is often perfomed with the Neck Lift to remove excess fat under the chin.  An incision will be made below the chin and a small liposuction cannula is inserted underneath the skin. The cannula is used to break up excess fat deposits, and then remove them from the neck area.

Cervicoplasty procedure is performed to remove excess skin on the neck. An incision is made under your chin and behind the ears (or possibly in just one of these locations). Our surgeon will then cut back and lift the skin.

Platysmaplasty procedure is performed to reduce the banded appearance of the neck. During the procedure, incisions will be made under the chin or behind the ears, or both. Our surgeon will then insert a tiny instrument to either remove a portion of specific neck muscles or realign them, which will tighten the middle area of the neck.

Your time in surgery may be one hour to several hours, depending on how many other procedures are performed during a Neck Lift.
