Understanding Neck Lift Surgery

A neck lift, or platysmaplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to enhance the definition and contour of the neck area. By utilizing advanced techniques like power-assisted liposuction, Dr. Bonillas can rejuvenate the neck, chin, and jaw for a more youthful appearance.

Neck Lift Techniques

Medial Platysmaplasty

The most common neck lift technique involves strategic incisions behind and potentially in front of the ears. Dr. Bonillas carefully removes excess fat, separates underlying muscles, and sutures the platysma muscle to create a smooth, refined neck contour.

SIMI Neck Lift

For patients with minimal skin laxity, a single incision minimally invasive (SIMI) neck lift offers a less invasive alternative. This technique involves a small incision beneath the chin, allowing for targeted fat removal and muscle tightening.

Benefits of a Neck Lift

• Smoothed neck skin
• Tightened underlying muscles
• Easily concealed scarring
• Short recovery period
• Combinable with other facial rejuvenation procedures

Ideal Candidates

The ideal neck lift candidate is in good overall health, experiencing lower facial aging signs, and seeking to address:

• Fullness underneath the chin
• Loose neck skin
• Poorly defined jawline

Procedure Overview

Dr. Bonillas performs neck lifts using his signature LocoLipo technique, carefully marking and treating the neck to achieve optimal contour. The procedure typically takes one to three hours and involves liposuction, muscle repositioning, and precise skin trimming.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect initial results after bandage removal, with full recovery typically occurring within one month. Maintaining results involves proper skincare and sun protection.

Complementary Procedures

Dr. Bonillas often recommends combining neck lifts with facelifts for comprehensive facial rejuvenation, addressing both neck and facial tissues for more dramatic, long-lasting results.

Cost Considerations

Neck lift costs vary based on individual treatment plans. A personalized consultation with Dr. Bonillas will provide a detailed cost assessment tailored to your specific aesthetic goals.
