Advanced Neck Lift in North Charleston, SC

Understanding Neck Lift Surgery

A neck lift, medically known as platysmaplasty, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to address visible signs of aging in the neck region. This transformative technique reduces wrinkles, eliminates sagging skin, and removes excess fat, dramatically improving neck aesthetics.

Key Benefits of Neck Lift Surgery

• Eliminates "turkey wattle" appearance
• Enhances jawline definition
• Removes excess skin and fat
• Tightens underlying neck muscles
• Creates a smoother, more youthful neck contour

Neck Lift Candidacy

Ideal candidates for neck lift surgery in North Charleston include healthy non-smokers seeking neck rejuvenation. The procedure is suitable for patients experiencing:

Recovery and Expectations

Most patients experience a recovery period of 1-2 weeks. Typical post-surgical experiences include mild bruising, swelling, and temporary numbness. Patients typically return to normal activities within 10-14 days, with full healing progressing over subsequent weeks.
