Neck Lift

If you are interested in a neck lift or in combining a neck lift with a face lift it is nice to know that a double board certified facial plastic surgeon is right here in Fayetteville.

At the bottom of the page are a couple before and after images but first, here is an over view of neck lifts.

Dr. Blanks performs neck lifts using the most advanced technique which gives you the very best results.  Neck lifts are popular particularly with men, who want to get rid of that “turkey neck” but do not need a complete face lift. Actually, both men and women can have a tighter, better looking neck without the full face lift and the incisions are hidden back behind your ears and in the hair lines. In addition, a small horizontal incision is hidden under the chin.

A little bit about the Neck Lift (Platysmaplasty)

The flat elastic platysma muscle that lies under the neck skin is actually two muscles that are naturally separated along the midline. The inner edges of the two muscles are linked to the overlying skin by fine connective tissue fibers, so that as we age, the relaxed skin-muscle complex sags into recognizable vertical cords or wattles that produce the so-called turkey gobbler neck. Dr. Feldman invented this surgical procedure adopted by surgeons around the world called the CORSET PLATYSMAPLASTY that is performed through a small horizontal incision hidden under the chin that eliminates these muscle cords by joining the two muscle edges together to create a single sheet of platysma that resists the reappearance of muscle bands and improves the shape of both the jawline and the waistline of the neck.
