Get Ready For A Neck Lift At The Plastic Surgery Institute of California

A neck lift also known as platysmaplasty is a plastic surgery procedure designed to restore sagging skin on the neck and under the jaw line. Many times plastic surgery patients choose to have a neck lift along with their face lift procedure.

The best candidates for the neck lift procedure are men and women in good health and with realistic expectations as well as having good skin tone and skin elasticity.

A neck lift surgery normally takes two to three hours to perform. The plastic surgery operation is carried out under a general anesthesia.

The plastic surgeon performs small incisions under the chin or behind the ears to reach the neck muscles and tighten them. By placing the incisions in this manner the plastic surgeon hides the scars behind the ears.

Whether the neck lift surgery is desired for functional or cosmetic reasons, the choice of a facial plastic surgeon plays an important role in the outcome of the plastic surgery.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, there are board certified plastic surgeons dedicated to the highest standards of safety and to provide the best results for the neck lift surgery.
