Did you know that the neck is one of the first places to show signs of aging? This occurs because the skin on our neck is delicate and tends to develop wrinkles faster than they would on the face. Many patients today are combating signs of aging with a neck lift. A neck lift (also known as platysmaplasty) enhances the appearance of the neck by tightening the skin and underlying muscles, improving the overall contour of the jawline.
