Cervicoplasty

Cervicoplasty is the medical term for a neck lift or neck rejuvenation procedure. A surgeon performs a cervicoplasty to address a sagging neck, platysmal banding and loose skin around the neck. There are different types of cervicoplasty. The simplest cervicoplasty involves tightening only the platysmal muscle through a small incision below the chin to improve visible muscle bands at the neck. A different cervicoplasty procedure re-drapes the excess and loose neck skin through hidden incisions behind the ears. Additional liposuction of the neck is a perfect adjunct procedure to a cervicoplasty. Other common adjunct procedures to a cervicoplasty include a facelift or laser skin rejuvenation.
