Neck Lift Overview

Cost of Neck Lift

At Sunder Plastic Surgery, the cost of neck lift surgery ranges from $25,000 to $55,000. This price variation depends on the complexity of the procedure, the specific techniques used, and the individual patient's needs. The comprehensive fee typically includes the surgeon's fee, anesthesia, operating room costs, and post-operative care. Patients can expect personalized treatment plans tailored to achieve their desired aesthetic outcomes, ensuring high-quality care throughout the surgical process.

What is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift, also known as a lower facelift, lower rhytidectomy, or platysmaplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to uniquely address common signs of aging in the neck and jawline.

This transformative procedure focuses on rejuvenating the neck's appearance by tightening sagging skin, sculpting and defining the jawline, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and creases, and improving the overall contour of the neck.

During a neck lift in Beverly Hills, excess skin and tissue are removed. At the same time, Dr. Sunder uses an advanced technique to tighten the neck muscles, including platysmaplasty, to achieve a more defined jawline and a smoother, more elegant shape that takes years off the appearance.

The Neck Lift Process What to Expect

Your journey towards a rejuvenated neck begins with a personalized consultation at Sunder Plastic Surgery. During this initial meeting, Dr. Sunder thoughtfully listens to your concerns to understand exactly what your aesthetic goals entail. She will evaluate your neck and skin, and discuss your medical history. This consultation is essential for creating a tailored treatment plan that addresses your unique needs.

When the day of your platysmaplasty, you'll be provided with anesthesia to ensure your comfort during the surgery. Discrete incisions will be strategically placed below your chin and potentially in front of the earlobes, extending behind the ears and concluding in the scalp near the back of your neck. This careful approach allows Dr. Sunder to access the underlying tissues and address specific concerns.

Depending on your individual requirements, excess skin will be removed and lifted, while muscles contributing to visible neck bands may be tightened. The entire procedure typically takes around 2 to 4 hours, depending on the complexity. Liposuction might also be employed to eliminate excess fat deposits, if necessary. Dr. Sunder's expert precision minimizes scarring, resulting in a more youthful and natural-looking appearance. Following the procedure, you'll be monitored before being cleared to return home.

Dr. Sunder's commitment to achieving optimal results will guide your surgical experience, ensuring that the outcome aligns with your desired goals. Most neck lift procedures performed at our Beverly Hills office are outpatient procedures conducted under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation for your comfort and safety.
