CERVICOPLASTY OR NECK LIFT

Cervicoplasty is the medical term for a neck lift or neck rejuvenation procedure. A surgeon performs a cervicoplasty to address a sagging neck, platysmal banding and loose skin around the neck. There are different types of cervicoplasty. The simplest cervicoplasty involves tightening only the platysmal muscle through a small incision below the chin to improve visible muscle bands at the neck. A different cervicoplasty procedure re-drapes the excess and loose neck skin through hidden incisions behind the ears. Additional liposuction of the neck is a perfect adjunct procedure to a cervicoplasty. Other common adjunct procedures to a cervicoplasty include a facelift or laser skin rejuvenation.

A neck lift is a surgical procedure that restores a tight, youthful appearance to skin under the chin and neck area which has lost elasticity and exhibits banding. It also corrects the heavy neck or double chin.

There are a number of procedures available to enhance the appearance of the neck. They range from very minimal in-office treatments with no down time, to more invasive procedures requiring anesthesia and time off for recovery. Aging of the neck is usually a combination of loose skin and muscle and some excess fat.

Typically, a neck lift will include the removal of fat. Cervicoplasty may be included to tighten excess skin, and platysmaplasty to remove or tighten neck muscles, a process that gets rid of unwanted band lines. A neck lift may also be part of a combination treatment plan, in conjunction with a forehead lift, facelift, or eyelid surgery.

  2. Seattle has several clinics and medical spas that offer neck lift services. A neck lift Seattle procedure can tighten and smooth the skin in the neck and jawline area, resulting in a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon or medical professional to determine if a neck lift is right for you.
