Uncover the Benefits of Neck Lift / Mini Neck Lift
Embark on a transformative journey with a Neck Lift / Mini Neck Lift, unrolling three pivotal benefits designed to revitalize your neckline and restore youthful vigor.
Platysmaplasty
What is a Neck Lift?
Platysmaplasty or neck lift surgery is often performed alongside neck liposuction and a full lower facelift to correct signs of aging and to turn back the hands of time. For patients with less significant signs of aging, a mini neck lift can be performed.
A neck lift can also improve the appearance of a turkey wattle, which is a common term used to describe the appearance of the neck when the platysma muscle sags and the muscle bands hanging between the jawbone and the collarbone thicken and become cord-like. Men and women concerned about aging can achieve outstanding results with a platysmaplasty, including increased self-esteem and confidence.

A more youthful look
Why Choose a Neck Lift/Mini Neck Lift?
The platysmaplasty procedure is safe and efficient. It can provide a number of different benefits and typically yields results such as:
- A more contoured and sleeker neck
- A more youthful neckline
- Improved, energized appearance that helps patients look younger
The results are subtle and natural. The incisions are hidden and patients look refreshed and more youthful after surgery. Other treatments can be combined with the neck lift to achieve additional goals, such as an eyebrow lift, eyelid surgery, or facelift. Dr. Homer Hojjat creates a customized surgical plan for each patient that meets their unique desires and needs.
Schedule a consultation
Neck Lift Consultation
During a neck lift consultation, Dr. Hojjat explains the neck lift procedure and the recovery process. The consultation is the best time for a patient to discuss their cosmetic goals.
There are different options available to improve the appearance of the neck, and Dr. Hojjat reviews the patient’s health history and examines their neck before making a professional, personalized recommendation based on the neck’s shape, contours, and proportions.
Tightening and improving the appearance of the neck can also be achieved with options such as neck liposuction, submentoplasty, cervical lipectomy, and neck lift surgery. Dr. Hojjat provides each patient with treatment options that will produce the rejuvenating, youthful look they want to achieve.
The Procedure
The Neck Lift Procedure
Dr. Hojjat uses IV sedation and general anesthesia to keep patients comfortable during surgery. The surgery time varies but is typically no longer than two to three hours.
During the neck lift, Dr. Hojjat tightens the platysma muscle, which improves the appearance of the neck and throat. Liposuction is used to remove pockets of excess fat (the double chin) and to sculpt and define the contours of the neck.
Sagging loose skin is removed from the neck area, and the remaining skin is re-draped to produce a smooth, taut look. Dr. Hojjat creates the incisions inconspicuously behind the ears and beneath the chin where they are made in the natural crease lines and are nearly invisible.
Dr. Hojjat will remove the bandages the next day. He will remove the stitches approximately one week after the plastic surgery.
The surgeon provides each patient with post-procedure information and pain medicine for relieving any discomfort. All strenuous activity must be avoided for up to three weeks, and the incisions will heal and fade significantly within a few weeks.
Recommendations
Neck Lift Surgical Recovery
Patients typically experience some bruising, swelling, and numbness after the neck lift, along with a pulling sensation from the liposuction. All of this is normal, and Dr. Hojjat provides complete instructions along with appropriate pain medications to ensure that each patient experiences a comfortable and speedy recovery. The bruising along with swelling and other symptoms will improve daily, and Dr. Hojjat’s neck lift patients can expect to recover completely in a few short weeks.
Most neck lift patients return to work in one to two weeks following the surgery when the swelling and bruising have reduced and they feel presentable. Strenuous exercise or heavy lifting will need to be avoided for up to three weeks after the surgery. Dr. Hojjat provides each patient with thorough aftercare instructions, and patients can call the office at any point with concerns or questions.
