What is the Difference Between Necklift & Facelift Surgery?

Los Angeles facial plastic surgeons, Dr. Jason Litner and Dr. Peyman Solieman discuss the difference between necklift and facelift surgery. Necklift surgery, medical known as a platysmaplasty, concentrates on the lower face and neck. It reduces the appearance of a sagging neck while tightening the skin below the chin. A platysmaplasty is often combined with neck liposuction in order to reduce any unwanted fat. A facelift procedure tightens and contours the face. It lifts the skin on the face but does not treat the neck. Our expert doctors, recommend patients to speak to their surgeon about a platysmaplasty when consulting about facelift surgery. These two procedures are often combined to give the most natural looking results.
