Advanced Procedures Designed for Lasting Beauty

Neck Lift

A Neck Lift (Platysmaplasty) aims to create tightened, elevated contours that clearly distinguish the neck from the jawline, providing an elegant transition from the shoulders to the head. Dr. Jaggi’s Neck Lift procedure is designed to rejuvenate the neck by addressing sagging muscles, loose skin, and wrinkles around the neck for a more youthful and defined appearance.

There are various methods available to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing neckline, and the approach chosen depends on individual anatomy and personal goals. Dr. Jaggi will thoroughly discuss these options with each patient during a consultation.

Types of Neck Lifts

Neck Lift/Liposculpting

This technique tightens the underlying neck muscles and repositions fatty tissue to enhance definition. It’s best for individuals with lax neck tissue who seek more dramatic results, restoring both muscle tone and skin elasticity for a firmer, more youthful neckline.

Best for individuals who: have loose or sagging skin under their neck, have a loss of jawline definition, or notice vertical neck band.

Neck Lift Recovery

Recovery time after a neck lift varies depending on individual factors and the extent of surgery. Most patients are able to resume daily activities, including work, within 2-3 weeks. You may experience a tight sensation around the neck for several weeks. Bruising and swelling are common and should subside gradually, with visible bruising typically disappearing within the first/second week. The “tight” feeling may persist for a few months, but will eventually fade as the neck heals.

Preparing for Your Surgery

Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding. Avoid eating or drinking after midnight the night prior to your procedure. Please arrange for a responsible adult to take you and pick you up from your surgery and stay with you for the first 24 hours after surgery.
