Wish you could restore a more youthful, defined, and smoother neck? The neck lift (aka platysmaplasty) is a procedure designed to do just that.

What can a neck lift correct?

• Sagging Skin. Also referred to as "turkey neck".
• Double chin. Chin liposuction can be performed during the surgery.
• Loose neck bands.

How is neck lift surgery performed?

The neck lift procedure is typically performed in our office under local anesthesia. An incision is made just behind the chin and the appropriate surgical techniques will be used based on the desired outcome discussed during your consultation. 

Am I a good candidate for a neck lift?

Generally, the neck lift works best in patients who retain some elasticity in the neck skin. It does not remove excess skin so it is best for patients with neck laxity without jowling and can be coupled with neck liposuction. Our patient coordinator will review whether or not you are a good candidate during an initial phone consultation.

Should I get a neck lift or mini lift?

Each of these procedures targets different concerns. Read this article to learn more about the mini lift. We will help guide you toward the best procedure for your goals during your consultation.

What is the best age for a neck lift?

This depends on the individual but is generally performed on people age 40+. It's best to undergo the procedure when you are in good health but keep in mind that undergoing the procedure earlier will not prevent aging. That said, patients will always look younger than if they had not undergone surgery.

Patient Reviews

"I feel 40 but my face was definitely 57. No jawline, big jowls and I looked old and tired. Don't know about you but people were always asking if I was tired, even when I wasn't. If things kept on track the way they were going my chin would be laying on top my chest in no time! With the encouragement from my daughter I was off for a consult with a PS she found. Dr. Anand Patel and his team at Visage are top notch. It is only 3 days after surgery for me and I am already very pleased. It was less pain than I anticipated and I feel much better than I thought I would. My stiches come out next week and then I am heading back to work. If you are in Wisconsin and considering this I would highly recommend Dr. Patel and his team."

"Dr. Patel is a wonderful doctor and surgeon. I had a neck and lower face lift about 4 years ago and I am so glad I did. At first I was a little apprehensive as I had seen people who had skin pulled too tight and looked odd. After meeting with Dr. Patel a couple of times and discussing the procedure, I decide to proceed with the surgery. I am so glad that I did. It literally took 10 to 15 years off and my neck and face. I had always been a runner and taken good care of myself so my body was in fairly good shape but my neck and jowls had me looking older than my years. After my procedure my face matched how I felt about myself. Even now at 60, I could easily pass for a woman in her 40's. It is a great feeling. Dr. Patel's skill gave me natural look with no 'pulled too tight' look. The surgery was a breeze with minimal swelling or bruising. Makeup easily covered the slight bruising there was. I was able to go shopping in a week post surgery. Within a few weeks I was able to return to my regular exercise routine. I highly recommend Dr. Patel. He was kind and patient and gave me back the confidence I had lost."
