The neck lift (cervicoplasty or platysmalplasty) is the intervention indicated in cases where the soft tissues of the neck have yielded over time. The purpose of the operation is to reposition the soft tissues and reconstitute a harmonious and physiological cervicomental angle of both the skin and the deep structures. The incision of a few centimeters is located under the chin, with this access we can treat the platysma muscle which, once relaxed, is responsible for the annoying vertical bands of the neck.
The results of a platysmoplasty last for life, and is generally associated with a face lift, as it is a single aesthetic entity.
