Neck Lift

A neck lift is a surgical procedure that tightens loose neck skin and repositions the underlying platysma muscle to restore a defined jawline and smooth profile. At Essbé Beauté, it is most often performed alongside facelift within Dr. Guberman's Timeless Lift Program, paired with Aerolase and skincare protocols for complete rejuvenation.

What is a neck lift?

A neck lift addresses skin laxity, muscle banding and fat accumulation beneath the chin and along the jawline. Collagen loss and tissue descent over time can create fullness under the chin, vertical neck bands, and a blurred jawline. A neck lift repositions the underlying platysma muscle and removes excess skin to restore a smoother, more defined profile.

Who is a candidate?

A neck lift may be considered if you notice fullness or looseness beneath the chin, vertical banding in the neck, a jawline that has softened into the neck, or want a procedure that complements facial rejuvenation. A Restore consultation evaluates neck anatomy, skin quality and whether pairing with facelift is right for you.

Long-term results

Results are long-lasting, while natural aging continues over time.

Neck lift with platysmaplasty
For the Best, Longest-Lasting Result

Want the best result? Ask about platysmaplasty with your neck lift.

Repositioning and tightening the underlying platysma muscle — not just removing excess skin — is what gives a neck lift its definition and staying power. At Essbé Beauté, platysmaplasty is built into your neck lift with Dr. Guberman for a smoother, more contoured profile that lasts.
