The wrinkling of the thin skin of the neck is one of the most visible signs of aging. It can also be significantly corrected by the neck plication procedure. The unattractive “turkey gobbler neck” is due to loose skin and a sagging of the underlying platysma muscle.  A neck lift, or neck plication procedure, removes excess sagging skin under your jawline and on your neck. For those with bands or cords, the neck lift may involve adjusting and tightening the platysma muscle, if it has begun to separate and sag. If needed, the neck lift can include the removal or contouring of excess fatty tissue, some of which may be located below your platysma muscle.

If you only have excess fat under your chin or along your jawline,  liposuction alone may be enough to enhance the appearance of your neck. However, as we move into our forties and fifties most necks will require more than just liposuction alone and will typically require a neck lift. A consultation with one of our board certified plastic surgeons will provide you with your best treatment option.
