Neck Lift in Columbus, Ohio, at Donaldson Plastic Surgery

Some patients who complain of having a fleshy neck, “jowls,” platysma or neck “banding,” or a “turkey wattle” can benefit from this procedure. In some cases, the platysma muscle of the neck is adjusted and tightened if it has begun to separate and sag. Among the issues that can be resolved with a neck lift are:

• Neck folds
• Neck bands
• Sagging or excess skin
• Excess neck and/or lower face fat
• The “turkey wattle” effect

Platysmaplasty is not just an option for one age group. In fact, many younger people also undergo platysmaplasty. Many men and women who have undergone neck lift are often thought to have “lost a lot of weight” or “toned up” rather than having had surgery. While some people only need a neck lift, and not a full face lift, the combination of the two can truly make a difference, giving you a younger and refreshed look. And recovery is easy; most patients experience no more than mild bruising or swelling, and are able to resume all normal activities within a week.
