NECK LIFT Surgery FOR YOUNG ADULTS

A neck lift, also known as a cervicoplasty, improves and enhances the appearance of the neck by removing excess fat (if needed), excess skin (if needed), and tightening underlying neck muscles (if needed). A combination of the above will improve the contour of the jawline or area under the chin. This procedure is often performed in conjunction with liposuction or a facelift but may also be done as a stand-alone procedure, especially in younger patients (even in their twenties), which is one of Dr. Rivera-Serrano’s favorite procedures.

A deep plane or bi-planar neck lift in younger patients can be carried out while only creating an incision (scar) under the chin. This is due to the good elasticity of younger skin. Dr. Rivera-Serrano calls the procedure bi-planar because he works to reduce the tissues (mainly fat) outside and inside (two planes, superficial and deep) a pair of neck muscles known as Platysma muscles. Some patients may benefit from liposuction only, while others may need a deep neck lift or a bi-planar neck lift, which are very advanced techniques only performed by a few plastic surgeons across the country due to the complexity and unfamiliarity of the deeper neck anatomy. In the latter techniques, the deep structures of the neck are modified, including potential partial removal of fat, deep muscles, and submandibular glands. It is not possible to predict clinically how much excess fat a person is carrying superficially (outside) or deep (inside) of the platysma. This varies greatly among individuals, and addressing both is the only way to attain the best possible result. Therefore, the procedure is tailored to the patient depending on findings on physical exam prior to surgery and the findings while in surgery. Dr. Rivera-Serrano has particular expertise in neck lifting due to his extensive and unique training background in neck cancer surgery and understanding of neck anatomy.  A personal consultation will determine what is best for you.
