Neck Lift
Our board-certified plastic surgeons at Optum Plastic Surgery in Seattle can perform a neck lift to help renew your youthful appearance and enhance your natural beauty.
What is a neck lift?
A neck lift, or platysmaplasty, improves the appearance of an aging neck. During a neck lift, muscles are tightened, and excess skin is redraped and removed, creating a more youthful neck. For fuller necks, sometimes deeper structures such as glands and muscles are also contoured. Incisions are made under the chin, in the hairline, or behind the ears, making them easier to hide once healed.
Neck lifts can be performed alone, or in conjunction with a full facelift or other procedures, depending on what your surgeon recommends. Our board-certified plastic surgeons will utilize their artistic skills to give you the best possible outcome and beautiful, natural results. Let us help you look as good on the outside as you feel on the inside!

FAQs
How is a neck lift performed?
−A neck lift is typically performed through a smaller version of a facelift incision including a small incision beneath the chin. Briefly, the incision is concealed within the hairline and groove behind the ear and within the natural contours of the skin in front of the ear. The muscles of the neck are typically tightened, and excess fat is removed. On rare occasion large salivary glands may be reduced to improve neck contours.
