Restore a youthful, sculpted neckline with a necklift, also called a platysmaplasty in Beverly Hills, performed by David Isaacs, MD, our dual-fellowship trained facial and oculoplastic surgeon and course instructor for the AAO Face and Neck Lift Course. This procedure targets sagging skin, vertical neckbands, excess fat, and a blunted jawline, giving you refined contours and lasting results tailored to your anatomy.
Reclaim Definition Along Your Jaw and Neckline
As we age, the neck often reveals some of the earliest and most noticeable signs of aging. You may begin to see jowls forming along the jawline, where a jowl lift in Beverly Hills can restore definition, as well as vertical neckbands due to weakened platysma muscles, or excess fat and loose skin that contribute to a saggy, “turkey neck” appearance. The cervicomental angle, the elegant curve between the chin and neck, can become blunted or poorly defined, leading many to feel their appearance no longer reflects their vitality.
A necklift is a surgical procedure that addresses these concerns by lifting and tightening deeper structures, not just the skin. Dr. Isaacs specializes in deep-plane techniques that deliver refined, natural-looking results. By focusing on repositioning the underlying platysma muscle and conservatively removing skin, Dr. Isaacs restores a youthful, sculpted neck with long-lasting definition and harmony.
Necklift Treats:
- Sagging or excess skin under the chin and along the neck
- Jowls and loss of jawline definition
- Vertical neckbands from weakened platysma muscles
- Fat deposits that obscure the neck-chin angle
- A blunted or undefined cervicomental contour
- Loose or separated platysma muscles
- Skin laxity that contributes to a “turkey neck” appearance
- Asymmetry or imbalance between the jawline and neck
Complementary Procedures to Enhance the Neck
While a necklift alone can dramatically improve your profile, combining it with complementary procedures can further refine your results and create a more harmonious, youthful appearance. Dr. Isaacs takes a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation, often enhancing your necklift with treatments that address volume loss, contour irregularities, and facial balance. This strategy ensures long-lasting, natural-looking results tailored to your unique anatomy.
To maximize the impact of your necklift, Dr. Isaacs may recommend:
- Fat grafting or nanofat/microfat injections to restore volume and soften hollow areas
- Chin augmentation to enhance projection and improve jawline-neck harmony
- Neck liposuction to remove stubborn fat and define the cervicomental angle
- A deep-plane facelift to lift the lower face and complement the rejuvenated neck
- Other customized combinations that prioritize balance, structure, and natural aesthetics
Dr. Isaacs’ Approach to Necklift Surgery
Dr. Isaacs uses advanced deep-plane techniques to deliver natural necklift results tailored to your unique anatomy. Rather than simply tightening the skin, he repositions the deeper layers, including the platysma muscle, to restore youthful contours and eliminate signs of aging. This method enhances the cervicomental angle, refines the jawline, and reduces vertical neckbands, all while avoiding the overdone look often seen with traditional techniques.
Dr. Isaacs places incisions discreetly under the chin and around the ears, ensuring scars are virtually invisible. For male patients, he adjusts incision placement to preserve the natural beard growth patterns. A key part of the procedure is platysmaplasty, which tightens the neck muscles for a smoother appearance. Dr. Isaacs also removes excess skin conservatively to prevent an overly tight or artificial result, focusing on balance, harmony, and long-term stability.
