NECK LIFT FACT SHEET

What is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift procedure aims to rejuvenate the appearance of the neck area and restore a more youthful and rejuvenated neck area.The minimally invasive Neck Lift, which includes Platysmaplasty surgery and placement of My Ellevate system, is a surgical procedure to improve visible signs of aging of the neck.

What does it involve?

The unique method and instruments allow the placement of a suture “lattice” similar to a shoelace that spans the entire region underneath the jaw line. This support system is created by weaving suture material under the skin through a series of small punctures. The placement of the suture strands is guided by LED light illumination of the suture needle. Once the lacing is completed, the suture is tightened and secured thus resulting in the lifting and smoothing of the neck skin and underlying muscles and glands simultaneously.

Why have this Neck Lift?

A neck lift is a highly effective cosmetic procedure for both men and women to restore a youthful appearance to the neck, and rejuvenate an individual’s overall appearance, with long-lasting results. Whilst the face will continue to gradually age with the passage of time following the procedure, it will do so from this newly rejuvenated point.

Suture suspension combining the percutaneous Platysmaplasty and placement of the My Ellevate procedure is a less-invasive approach to approximate and elevate the underlying muscles and glands of the neck that does not require an incision under the chin. It also does not require extensive surgery including the opening of the neck, repositioning of muscles and at times the removal of portions of muscles and glands.

There is the possibility of a poor result from the Platysmaplasty Surgery.  This would include risks such as unacceptable scarring, wound disruption and loss of sensation.  You may be disappointed with the results of surgery.  There is also a 5% risk that when combined with energy-based skin tightening the skin may not contract an adequate amount after a period of 1 year.  If this occurs the patient may require more surgery to remove some of the redundant excess skin that did not respond to the energy-based tightening.  Subsequent surgery would be at the expense of the patient. There is no way to absolutely predict who will not respond to energy-based tightening.
