A neck lift is actually a set of procedures used to enhance the appearance of your neck:

• Cervicoplasty is the procedure used to remove excess skin
• Platysmaplasty removes or alters neck muscles

A neck lift can restore a more youthful oval contour to the face, eliminate the jowls along the jawline area and produce a very nice tightening of the neck resulting in a defined transition from chin and jawline to the neck area. Your surgeon also can perform neck liposuction, which removes excess fat.
