The neck is one of the parts of our body that shows our age. When we get older, horizontal creases and vertically banding may appear in the skin of the neck. But, if you don’t want any of these creases and banding, you can correct with plastic surgery. This procedure named as platysmaplasty. A named platysmaplasty comes from platysma muscles that run along the front of the neck.
In this surgery method, surgeons tighten the skin and underlying muscles to lift the neck. They also, improve and sharp the contour of the jawline. A platysmaplasty and neck lift is often performed in conjunction with a facelift but, in fact, they use different techniques.

Sagging of the neck may be due to age, but it may also be a consequence of significant weight loss or simple hereditary. Patients who have sagging and wrinkles between the chin or jaw and neck or both and who have a loss of separation between the chin and neck benefit from the neck lift procedure.
