What is it?

The platysma is a thin muscle covering the front of the neck. Over the years its edges separate and show as vertical bands, and the neck loses definition. Platysmaplasty joins and tightens this muscle, usually through a small incision under the chin, to give the neck a firmer, younger contour.

    • Who is it for?

  • People with visible vertical bands on the neck.
  • Those who notice a loss of definition between the neck and the jaw.
  • Patients who want to improve the neck without a full lift (the doctor assesses whether it is enough or should be combined).
  • People in good general health.

    • What does the procedure involve?

  • 1AssessmentThe doctor examines the muscle, skin and fat of the neck to choose the most suitable technique.
  • 2ProcedureThrough a discreet incision under the chin, the edges of the muscle are joined and tightened. It can be combined with double-chin liposuction. Anesthesia is decided case by case.
  • 3BandageA compression garment protects the area and helps the neck adapt.
  • 4Follow-upStitches are removed and progress is checked at follow-up visits.

    • Recovery

    During the first days there may be swelling, a feeling of tightness and some bruising. Keeping your head elevated while sleeping and avoiding strain for as long as the doctor indicates is recommended. The result becomes clearer as swelling goes down.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is it the same as a neck lift?

    Not exactly. Platysmaplasty works on the muscle; a lift also removes and repositions skin. At the assessment the doctor will tell you what your case needs.

    Is the scar visible?

    The incision is under the chin, a barely visible area, and it usually becomes very discreet over time.

    Can it be combined with other procedures?

    Yes. It is often combined with double-chin liposuction or a face and neck lift.

    How much does it cost?

    It depends on each case. After the assessment, the clinic will confirm the cost of your treatment.
