Neck Lift Surgery (Platysmaplasty, Cervicoplasty) Guide

A neck lift is a procedure that tightens and lifts the skin and muscles of the neck. The medical name for this is Platysmaplasty or Cervicoplasty. This procedure achieves smoother, slimmer skin in the neck, therefore giving a more youthful appearance. The surgeon will often perform this alongside other facial surgeries such as a facelift or brow lift.
