Neck Lift Surgery: Restoring Youthful Contours with Expert Precision
Insights from Dr. Pritha Rakhshit
As we age, the skin and muscles of the neck begin to lose elasticity, resulting in sagging, loose skin, visible muscle bands, and the appearance of a “double chin.” For many, these changes can affect self-confidence and facial harmony. Neck Lift Surgery is a transformative cosmetic procedure designed to tighten, contour, and rejuvenate the neck region—restoring a more youthful and refined appearance.
Under the experienced hands of Dr. Pritha Rakhshit, a skilled plastic and reconstructive surgeon, neck lift procedures are performed with precision, artistry, and a deep understanding of facial balance.
What Is Neck Lift Surgery?
A neck lift (cervicoplasty and platysmaplasty) is a cosmetic surgical procedure that improves the visible signs of aging in the neck by:
- Removing excess, sagging skin
- Tightening loose neck muscles
- Eliminating fat deposits under the chin
- Enhancing jawline definition
- Correcting “turkey neck” or muscle banding
The goal is to achieve a naturally youthful and sculpted neck that blends seamlessly with the rest of the face.
Who Can Benefit from Neck Lift Surgery?
A neck lift may be ideal for individuals who experience:
- Sagging or wrinkled neck skin
- Prominent neck bands
- A poorly defined jawline
- Excess fat under the chin
- Early signs of aging despite good facial skin tone
It is suitable for both men and women looking for lasting and noticeable rejuvenation.
How the Procedure Is Performed
Under the expertise of Dr. Pritha Rakhshit, the neck lift procedure is carefully tailored to each patient’s anatomy and cosmetic goals. The surgery may involve:
✔ Removing excess skin (Cervicoplasty)
To tighten and smooth the neck surface.
✔ Tightening neck muscles (Platysmaplasty)
To restore firm, youthful contours and reduce banding.
✔ Liposuction of the chin or neck
To remove stubborn fat deposits and improve definition.
✔ Jawline sculpting
For enhanced harmony between the neck and face.
Dr. Rakhshit focuses on achieving natural results—avoiding stiffness, over-tightening, or an unnatural look.
Recovery After Neck Lift Surgery
Most patients experience:
- Mild swelling and bruising
- Tightness in the neck
- Temporary numbness
Recovery typically takes 10–14 days, although final results continue to refine over several weeks. With proper care and guidance, patients enjoy:
- A sharper jawline
