Platysmaplasty, or neck lift, removes excess skin and fatty deposits responsible for double chin, redefining your profile for a more youthful appearance. Performed alone or in combination with a facelift, it works the skin and muscles of the neck for a natural and lasting result. At Dr. Geneviève Mercier-Couture's clinic, our team supports you from pre-operative assessment to post-operative follow-up, guaranteeing safety, comfort, and optimal rejuvenation.
Who is a neck lift suitable for?
The neck is one of the first areas of the body to show signs of aging. These symptoms include more pronounced muscle laxity, fatty bulges under the chin, and skin folds. This sagging can be more or less significant depending on age, genetics, and other factors such as natural skin tone. A neck lift is a popular procedure for patients who want to reverse the effects of time. A neck lift also removes fat deposits under the chin to prevent the "double chin" effect.
How is a neck lift performed?
Platysmaplasty can be performed in different ways depending on the patient, their physiognomy, and the desired results. Liposuction can be used during a neck lift to remove excess fat, primarily under the chin. This will redefine the chin and jawline. A neck lift can also be performed through various surgical procedures that remove excess skin, the folds of skin that form with age. Finally, some surgical procedures even tighten the neck muscles for a complete neck lift.
