WhatsApp UsWhat Is a Neck Lift (Platysmaplasty)?
A neck lift is a surgical procedure that tightens the loose platysma muscle, removes stubborn submental fat, and excises excess sagging skin to restore a sharp, youthful jawline and cervicomental angle.
Anatomy & Surgical Foundations
- 1. Structural Tissue Assessment Every individual anatomy is distinct. We precisely evaluate skin elasticity, adipose layer thickness, and muscular fascia before tailoring the operative vector.
- 2. Surgical Precision & Symmetry Using microsurgical instruments and high-definition power-assisted technology, incisions are placed strictly in natural, concealed shadows.
- 3. Core Muscle & Fascia Restoration True aesthetic contouring repairs the deep supporting architecture, not just superficial tissue.
