What is a DEEP PLANE NECK LIFT? Plastic Surgeon Answers

Over time, muscles loosen and the area under the chin becomes lax. If this is the case, Dr. Cole may recommend neck liposuction and Platysmaplasty to address the under-chin area. Our experienced staff deeply understands facial anatomy and uses refined skills to create a natural appearance. Schedule a visit to learn if this popular solution might be right for you.
Candidates for face and neck lift surgery have visibly loose skin in the lower face and neck region. Loose skin and underlying muscles are usually caused by factors like age and significant weight loss. No matter the reason, you may feel self-conscious about your appearance. If you are at a steady weight but feel challenged by signs of aging, surgery may be a suitable option. Dr. Cole can perform a health assessment and make sure you qualify for this procedure.
Platysmaplasty is performed through a one-inch incision made just beneath the chin. The platysma muscle is tightened, like a corset, and reattached along the neckline. If liposuction is needed in the neck area, the fat is removed through the same incision. Platysmaplasty involves the neck area only. It does not include the jowls or anything above the jawline. To achieve the best results, a lower facelift can be performed with the Platysmaplasty to smooth the jowls.
Recovery times vary based on the techniques chosen during a consultation, but most patients are back to their normal routines within 2 to 3 weeks. Swelling, bruising, and some discomfort are a normal part of recovery and are alleviated by medications. Oculus Plastic Surgery can create an individualized recovery plan for each patient based on their needs. Patients are encouraged to listen to rest and take things slowly as they recover.
