What Is a Neck Lift?
A neck lift, sometimes called lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that addresses sagging skin, excess fat, and muscle laxity in the neck. Depending on your anatomy, Dr. Pazmiño may tighten the platysma muscle, remove localized fat, and reposition and trim loose skin to create a smoother, more sculpted neck.
Dr. Pazmiño tailors each neck lift to the problem you want to solve. Options include:
- Mini neck lift: A less invasive option for mild to moderate sagging that uses smaller incisions and minimal tissue adjustment
- Cervicoplasty: Removes loose or excess neck skin when skin laxity is the primary concern
- Platysmaplasty: Tightens the platysma muscle along the front of the neck to smooth vertical bands and uneven contours
Dr. Pazmiño tailors every neck lift to your anatomy, with approaches designed specifically for men and for mild, moderate, and significant skin laxity. When excess tissue lies beneath the neck muscles, he can remove deep pockets of fat and reduce prominent glands for a cleaner contour, and he repairs the muscle layer for a smoother appearance.
This deeper approach, often called a deep neck lift, is available when your anatomy calls for it, and it can greatly improve your jawline and neck contour.
