The Lift You’ve Been Looking For
What is a Neck Lift?
A neck lift, also known as platysmaplasty, is a cosmetic surgery that eliminates excess skin and fat from the neck. The platysma muscle beneath the skin is tightened, and the skin is reattached to look tighter and more flattering. Neck lifts can also be paired with facelifts and other cosmetic procedures to create a more seamless, lifted complexion.

We’ve Got You Covered
Consultation and Preparation
Dr. Bloch will review your medical history, discuss your appearance expectations, and create a personalized treatment plan for your neck lift. Pictures of your neck and jawline may be taken, and temporary washable marker marks may be made as procedure references.
During your consultation, Dr. Boch will explain what to expect and how to prepare for your neck lift.
The Secret Behind the Sculpt
Procedure
When you go in for your procedure, you will be put under general anesthesia so you won’t feel a thing. The doctor will begin the neck lift procedure, expertly removing the excess skin and fat before tightening the platysma muscle and reattaching the skin to sit tighter and more naturally.
The entire procedure can take one to four hours, depending on the client’s needs.
Refinement With Stunning Results
Neck Lift Results
Immediately after surgery, you will notice significant improvement in the appearance of your neck and jawline. Some redness, swelling, and bruising may present that can last up to two weeks.
Patients typically see the full results of their platysmaplasty in six months, when all residual healing is complete and the skin has had time to settle into place.
Where Art Meets Elegance
Neck Lift Recovery and Aftercare
In the first week after surgery, rest is essential. Swelling and bruising typically subside within two to four weeks, so limit activities and keep your head elevated. After four to six weeks, gradually reintroduce strenuous activities as you feel comfortable.
Your Highland Park neck lift results can be maintained by following a healthy lifestyle and avoiding drinking, smoking, direct sun exposure, and drastic weight changes.
If you have any questions about your recovery process, do not hesitate to call us at Body by Bloch. Our expert team is highly knowledgeable and more than willing to help you whenever they can.
