Neck Lift

A neck lift after the first months

A neck lift is surgery on the lower face and neck. The question that matters most is what the result looks like after the first months, and how the neck keeps aging afterward. Before you decide anything, it helps to read general descriptions of the operation from several sources. The plastic surgery society overview of neck lift and a hospital guide to neck lift, also called platysmaplasty are two plain starting points.

Three questions for your neck lift surgeon

What to expect for your own neck is a judgment for a surgeon. For anything specific, put three questions to your own surgeon: how long the result should hold, what changes to plan for with age, and what they would want to see at a follow-up visit.

For deeper reading, a medical reference chapter on neck rejuvenation is a reference entry that goes into more detail than a patient guide may. A university department page on facial plastic and reconstructive surgery shows how one academic program describes its field. Read both with your own questions written down, and take those questions to a consultation.
