Understanding the Neck Lift Procedure

A neck lift, or platysmaplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to tighten loose skin, smooth muscle bands, and remove excess fat in the neck area. This comprehensive rejuvenation creates a firmer, more defined jawline and eliminates the appearance of a “turkey neck” or jowls. A neck lift can address:

Sagging or crepey neck skin
Fat accumulation under the chin (“double chin”)
Vertical banding of the platysma muscle
Poor jawline definition
Visible aging or imbalance between the face and neck

Discover Whether a Neck Lift Is Right for You

During a personalized consultation, Dr. Duncan evaluates your goals, medical history, and skin condition to determine if a neck lift is right for you. Ideal candidates are healthy, non-smoking individuals with visible laxity or excess fat in the neck area. Patients who maintain a stable weight and realistic expectations typically enjoy the most satisfying outcomes.

Your Experience: Tailored, Transparent, Transformative

Your consultation is the foundation of your treatment plan. Dr. Duncan maps out your anatomy and discusses your desired outcome to ensure results that look authentic and elegant.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia.
Incisions are placed discreetly behind the ears and under the chin.
Muscles are tightened, and excess skin is carefully removed.
Fat deposits may be sculpted or repositioned for refined contour.
Incisions are closed with precision to minimize visible scarring.

Recovery and Results

Most patients return to light activity within 10–14 days, though mild swelling or tightness may persist temporarily. As healing progresses, the neck becomes smoother and more sculpted, revealing youthful definition. Full results typically appear within 8–12 weeks and can last a decade or more with healthy skin care and sun protection.
