Let’s Talk About Neck Rejuvenation

“What can I do to make my neck look younger?” This is among the most common questions that I hear from patients in my office. In the past, undergoing a facelift or a neck lift was often recommended to patients who wished to address sagging skin and lax muscles in their neck area. But that doesn’t mean that there aren’t other potential procedure methods or options available. Today, I wanted to focus on the Z-plasty surgery for the neck, a terrific option that many patients may not even be aware of.

Part of what is so unique about the Z-plasty is that, unlike other common neck rejuvenation procedures, I am able to perform it as an in-office procedure. During the procedure, I will make a small incision just underneath the chin, in a spot that is easily hidden from view. I am then able to effectively tighten the platysma muscles and remove any excess skin from the area, as well as excess fat that may be creating the appearance of a double chin. The result is a smoother and younger-looking neck contour, with a very straightforward and simple post-surgery recovery period.

In the video below, I go into more detail on my Z-plasty neck lift procedure and the unique benefits that it’s able to offer to patients trying to rejuvenate this area:

I’ve seen fantastic results with this surgical technique and can’t wait for even more patients to become familiar with the Z-plasty neck lift and the outstanding benefits that it can deliver. Being able to provide my patients with multiple procedure options to better fit their specific needs is a big reason why I’ve been named a Top Doctor in Atlanta for over 20 years.
