Neck lift — Dr. Emilio Canet's practice in Valencia

Facial surgery

Neck lift

Defining the neck angle, which is where age shows most.

The neck lift treats skin laxity in the neck, platysma bands and submental fat accumulation. It is often combined with a facelift, because the face and neck age together.

The approach

A minimal submental approach combined with platysma plication. In patients with good skin quality it can be resolved with very small incisions.

Recovery

A compression band for the first week. Typical return to normal activity after ten to fifteen days.

Who it's for

  • Loss of the cervicomental angle.
  • Marked vertical bands in the neck.
  • Excess fat under the chin that resists diet and exercise.
