Platysmaplasty

Rejuvenate the Neck

Platysmaplasty targets the skin and muscles in the neck, tightening them to restore a firm, youthful appearance to the neck and surrounding areas. Although it is often overlooked, the neck can benefit greatly from this treatment and it will help enhance and complement the results from facial procedures.

The procedure can produce permanent results that take years off the appearance. Although many patients focus their efforts on rejuvenating the face, it is quite impressive how significantly a platysmaplasty can change your appearance for the better.

The Procedure Details

What Platysmaplasty treats

– Loose skin and muscles in the neck
– Neck bands

Recovery time

The recovery period immediately following a platysmaplasty is approximately one week, during which time patients are encouraged to take time away from work and other activities. Full recovery can take about one month.

Results

The results from platysmaplasty are visible immediately, as the muscles and skin are tightened. These results will become increasingly visible as any side effects fade, and will be permanent.
