Platysmaplasty is a surgical neck rejuvenation procedure designed to tighten the platysma muscle, improve skin firmness, and enhance the contour of the lower face and neck. The platysma muscle is a thin sheet of muscle that extends from the chest area to the jawline, and weakening of this muscle can cause visible neck bands, loose skin, and poor chin to neck definition. This procedure is commonly recognized as a core technique within neck lift surgery and focuses on structural improvement rather than surface correction alone.

Platysmaplasty provides long-term improvement in neck appearance by addressing the underlying muscle separation that contributes to sagging and aging. By reinforcing the platysma muscle and refining surrounding tissue, this procedure helps achieve a firmer neck, reduced banding, and a more youthful profile. The key benefits include improved jawline definition, smoother skin texture, and balanced facial proportions.

Platysmaplasty begins with consultation by the doctor at our affiliated hospital where the neck structure, muscle condition, and skin laxity are carefully assessed. On the day of the procedure, Platysmaplasty is performed under anesthesia, with an average procedure time of 1 to 3 hours, depending on the extent of correction and whether additional procedures are included. Small incisions allow the doctor to tighten the platysma muscle, reposition underlying tissues, and remove excess skin to restore firmness and smoothness. This structured muscle support creates a sharper chin to neck angle and long-lasting improvement. Downtime is moderate, with swelling and tightness gradually improving over 2 to 4 weeks, while most daily activities may resume within 10 to 14 days.
