Achieve a Youthful Neck with Platysmaplasty

Platysmaplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to address concerns such as sagging skin, jowls, and excess fat in the neck area. This procedure involves making a small incision under the chin, allowing Dr. Hill to access and tighten the muscles and remove excess fat for a more sculpted and defined neck contour. By contouring the lower cheeks, jawline, and neck, platysmaplasty creates a more harmonious and youthful appearance, restoring confidence in your overall facial aesthetics.

As we age, the platysma muscle in the neck can become lax, leading to the appearance of a "turkey neck" or prominent vertical bands. Platysmaplasty addresses these issues by tightening the muscle and removing any excess skin or fat, resulting in a smoother and more defined neck contour. This procedure is often performed in conjunction with other facial rejuvenation treatments, such as a facelift or necklift, for a more comprehensive enhancement.

Recovery from platysmaplasty involves some swelling and bruising, which typically subside within a few weeks. Patients are advised to wear a compression garment to support the neck and aid in the healing process. Most individuals can return to their normal activities within two weeks, although it's important to follow post-operative care instructions to ensure optimal results.

Platysmaplasty offers long-lasting results, significantly improving the appearance of the neck and enhancing overall facial harmony. By addressing the underlying causes of neck aging, this procedure provides a more permanent solution compared to non-surgical treatments. With proper care and maintenance, the results of platysmaplasty can last for many years, allowing you to enjoy a more youthful and sculpted neck contour.
