Deep Plane Necklift

The Deep Plane necklift is suitable for clients who:

• Have loose or excess skin on the neck.
• Suffer from sagging muscles (platysma bands) that create vertical bands on the neck.
• Have excess fat and glandular tissue on the neck and under the chin.
• Want to improve the contour of the jawline and highlight the transition between the neck and face.

There are several methods of neck lifting, depending on the patient's needs:

1. Classic Necklift:
o Involves the removal of excess skin and tightening of muscles.
o The incision is made behind the ears and along the hairline, making scars almost invisible.

2. Platysmoplasty:
o Aims to correct the neck muscles (platysma).
o The surgeon tightens or fuses the muscles to eliminate vertical lines.

3. Mini-invasive Necklift:
o Uses smaller incisions and often involves ultrasound and radiofrequency technology – NeckTite.
o Shorter recovery time, but less pronounced results.

A necklift is performed under sedation or general anesthesia and takes approximately one hour.

o The surgeon loosens the tissues, removes excess skin and fat, and tightens the muscles.

o The first incision is made under the chin, where deep structures are treated, and may be combined with subsequent incisions behind the ears and along the hairline to keep scars hidden.

o The wounds are closed and a compression bandage is applied to help reduce swelling and promote healing.

• Immediately after the procedure: The patient is usually discharged home after the procedure.
• The first few days: Swelling and bruising may occur, which usually subside after 10 to 14 days. These symptoms are normal and usually improve within the first few days.
• Return to normal activities: Usually after 10 to 14 days.
• Full recovery: Within 4 to 6 weeks, when swelling has completely subsided.
• Scars: They are subtle and well hidden in the natural folds of the skin.

• Significant rejuvenation and firming of the neck area.
• Improvement of the contours of the jawline and neck.
• Removal of the “double chin” and fat pads.
• Long-term results (average 5 to 10 years).

• Temporary loss of sensation in the neck area.
• Scarring (usually fine and inconspicuous).
• Infections, hematomas or other complications associated with the surgery.
