A neck lift removes excess skin, tightens the underlying neck muscles, and defines the jaw-neck angle — restoring a more youthful, elegant neck contour.
A neck lift (platysmaplasty / cervicoplasty) addresses sagging neck skin, banding in the neck, and a poorly defined jaw-neck angle. It can include skin removal, tightening of the platysma muscle, and liposuction of submental fat.
The procedure targets the "turkey neck" appearance and loss of jaw definition that develops with aging and cannot be corrected with non-surgical treatments alone.
A neck lift is frequently combined with a facelift for complete lower face and neck rejuvenation.
Dr. Chung restores a clean, defined neck and jawline — one of the most impactful rejuvenation procedures with natural, long-lasting results.
Removes and repositions loose, sagging neck skin for a smoother, tighter, more youthful appearance.
Tightens the platysma muscle to eliminate vertical bands that appear on the neck, especially when speaking.
Removes double-chin fat for a cleaner, more defined jawline and improved profile.
Restores a sharp jaw-to-neck angle that naturally diminishes with age and gravity.
Often combined with facelift for reduction of jowls and complete lower-face rejuvenation.
Frequently paired with facelift, chin implant or liposuction for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Dr. Chung and his team accompany you throughout your entire recovery to ensure the best possible results.
A facelift addresses the lower face and jowls; a neck lift addresses the neck and jaw angle. They target adjacent areas and are frequently performed together for comprehensive lower face and neck rejuvenation.
Incisions are typically placed behind the ears and, when needed, in the natural crease under the chin. They are designed to be well-hidden and fade over time.
Liposuction alone works well when the issue is excess fat with good skin elasticity. When there is excess or loose skin, a neck lift is needed to achieve a tighter result.
Results typically last 7–10 years. Maintaining a stable weight and protecting skin from sun exposure helps extend results.
Swelling and bruising peak at 5–7 days and largely resolve within 2 weeks. A compression garment for the neck is worn for 1–2 weeks. Most patients return to social activities within 10–14 days.
