Beautiful Begins Here
A Neck Lift can restore a more youthful appearance in one of the first areas of the body to reveal signs of aging. The procedure can be performed on its own or in combination with other facial procedures, such as a facelift, to achieve a more comprehensive rejuvenation of the face and neck.

What is a Neck Lift?
A Neck Lift, or platysmaplasty, is a surgical technique that tightens the skin and muscles of the neck to make it look younger and more refreshed. This operation might help you seem years younger by tightening the muscles in your neck and getting rid of any excess skin. Triple board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Asaf Yalif, or Dr. Y as patients call him, can transform your profile with Neck Lift surgery in Atlanta or Alpharetta, GA, giving you a sleeker, slimmer look that is natural and youthful.
A saggy “turkey neck” results from aging, genetics, and weight fluctuations. However, Neck Lift surgery, technically called platysmaplasty, is an effective way to give women and men the sleek and slimmer profile they desire. A sleek, youthful profile can be yours once again.

Transform Your Profile
Excess skin isn't the only thing a Neck Lift can get rid of; sagging jowls, lax skin beneath the chin, and a double chin are all other signs of aging that can be remedied with this procedure. In addition to the all too common "turkey neck," this method can add balance and symmetry to a crooked jawline or chin.
If you have loose skin and wrinkles on your neck due to aging, weight loss, or genetics, you might want to consider getting Neck Lift surgery. It doesn't matter how old you are as candidates can be anywhere from 20 to 70+ years of age. The surgery can help you achieve a slimmer and sleeker profile, and it provides a natural look. So, if you are looking for a long-term solution to get rid of the sagging skin on your neck, a Neck Lift surgery might be a good option for you.
Getting a Neck Lift is a great method to make your neck look younger and fresher, and it can also help you achieve better facial features.
How is Neck Lift Surgery Performed?
To improve the appearance of the neck and get rid of excess fat, a surgeon will make a small cut either under the chin or behind the ears, depending on what is needed. They will then use a technique called liposuction to remove the extra fat.
Once the excess fat is removed, the surgeon will tighten the neck muscles and remove any extra skin. They will then reposition the remaining skin for a smoother and tighter appearance. The surgeon will place stitches deep in the neck to make sure the results last for a long time. Sometimes, they may also use a small tube to help drain any blood that may collect around the surgical site.
The whole operation usually lasts about two to three hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure. After the surgery, the patient needs to take good care of the surgical site so that it heals properly. With proper care, patients can expect to see a significant improvement in the appearance of their neck, which will look more youthful and toned.

Typically, our Atlanta Neck Lift patients are able to return to their normal routine around seven to ten days after the procedure. After having surgery on your neck, it's normal to experience some swelling and bruising. You might also feel like your neck is a bit tight and pulled, which is just your body adjusting to the change. It usually takes a few months for you to see the full results of the surgery, but once it's healed, your neck will look smoother and more contoured. You won't have to worry about any big scars either since the incisions are made in places that are hard to see.
Patients with strong, prominent neck muscles may have always looked older than their actual age. During the Neck Lift, some of the prominent neck muscles can be removed, and the skin and tissue around the neck can be tightened, which can have a profoundly positive effect that lasts up to a decade.
