A neck lift is a plastic surgery that removes loose skin and excess fat from the neck and chin area (along the lower jaw line). If required, the weakened muscles (platysma) are tightened during the operation. This operation is called platysmoplasty. A neck lift restores a clear oval face, graceful neck contours and a perfectly straight cervical-chin angle. You will look thinner, more rested and have lost 10-15 years.
A neck lift provides an excellent aesthetic effect, allowing a person to get rid of the most obvious signs of aging. This operation always affects not only the neck, but also the lower area of the face; it is also combined with SMAS facial lifting to achieve a comprehensive rejuvenation effect.

Methods of facial rejuvenation by zones
Often patients do not decide to undergo a full circular facelift or do not consider such an intervention necessary. “Is it possible to rejuvenate the face by zones?” is one of the most popular questions asked to a plastic surgeon. Yes, modern techniques allow this.
Such manipulations include:
- front lifting (lifting the upper part of the face);
- check-lifting (mid-face lifting);
- S-lifting and max-lifting (lifting the lower face and neck);
- space lifting (lifting the middle and lower part of the face).
Front lifting. This aesthetic technique is used to eliminate the first signs of aging. Typically, patients aged about 40 years old with pronounced transverse wrinkles on the forehead, folds between the eyebrows, drooping eyebrows and lower eyelid resort to it.
During the operation, the surgeon tightens the tissues of the upper part of the face. After wrinkles on the forehead are smoothed out and eyebrows are raised, the patient's face becomes more youthful and open.

Check-lifting . Used to combat signs of aging in the midface such as:
- hernias (bags) under the eyes;
- sagging cheeks, “shaved”;
- pronounced nasolabial folds.
The technique helps remove small and medium wrinkles, eliminate sagging skin and swelling of the face. It is advisable to carry out check-lifting in combination with blepharoplasty, since the incisions run along the ciliary edge of the lower eyelid.
During the operation, the muscle tissue is fixed in the required position using special endotin plates (3.5-4.5 mm in size). Resorption of endotins occurs within a year, during which time connective tissue has time to form.
The intervention is performed under general anesthesia and lasts up to 1.5 hours. The result of such a lift lasts 6-7 years.
S-lifting. This operation is also called a short-scar or short-flap lift. S-lifting allows you to lift the lower part of the face, get rid of jowls and double chins, and make the lower contour of the face noticeably clearer.
The operation begins with an incision behind the ears or in front of the auricle. Next, the surgeon isolates and tightens the tissues of the SMAS layer, which are attached with hanging sutures to the periosteum of the zygomatic bone.
The advantages of the S-lift: despite its low invasiveness, it is almost as effective as the SMAS lift. Disadvantage: the technique is not suitable for older patients with pronounced wrinkles.
Max lifting . This is a variant of the S-lift, a facelift through minimal access. This technique is a kind of “compromise” between conventional rhytidectomy and SMAS lift.
During max-lifting, excess skin is excised and the deep structures of the face are tightened. The main advantage of this technique is the ability to perform a full facelift through small skin incisions.
Space lifting (or spatial lifting) . A relatively new type of facelift, a minimally invasive lift of the middle and lower parts of the face (cheekbones, cheeks, nasolabial triangle, lower jaw area, neck).
The movement of tissues during space lifting is carried out strictly along the spaces - the physiological spaces under the facial muscles in the cheek area, the area of the zygomatic bone and the lower jaw. Using endoscopic equipment, the surgeon identifies the spacers, then moves them and secures them in the desired position.
The operation is performed under intravenous anesthesia and lasts on average 2 hours. Space lifting is characterized by a short rehabilitation period (3-7 days).

What does a neck lift and platysmoplasty do?
Local neck and chin lift surgery will save you from many problems.
- Eliminates the most noticeable signs of aging (the skin of the neck is very thin and delicate, so it is often the neck that shows age);
- Most likely, after a neck lift you will hear: how you look younger and... lose weight! A beautiful neck and a clear oval face create a general impression of harmony;
- You no longer need to choose closed dresses and scarves that cover wrinkles. Now you will be more suited to a neckline and jewelry that emphasizes the beautiful line of your neck.
- A neck lift will quickly solve the question “how to remove a double chin?” This annoying drawback cannot be dealt with either by diet or exercise, or hidden by cosmetics or clothing. Neck and chin lifts in Moscow, at ART-Clinic will help you easily solve this problem - remove the double chin once and for all.
What will happen after the operation?
Rehabilitation after a neck lift is completely painless and takes on average 7-10 days. During this period, it is especially important to follow all the surgeon’s instructions and properly care for the sutures so that they subsequently become completely invisible.
For 2-3 weeks you need to wear a special elastic bandage, which relieves swelling and creates the best conditions for restoring the correct contours of the neck. You can’t play sports, lift weights, go to the pool or the beach for about a month. Detailed recommendations are given by the surgeon during the consultation.
Neck lift, platysmoplasty in Moscow, price
A neck lift is an operation, the price of which is set individually (depending on the complexity). If the cost of a neck lift includes platysmoplasty, the price in Moscow may well be comparable to the cost of a circular facelift.
ART-Clinic is proud that we offer patients the highest level of facial surgery, while the cost of a neck lift in Moscow in our clinic is one of the most affordable, and consultation is free. See approximate prices for a neck lift at ART-Clinic below on this page.
Possible complications
Modern technologies make it possible to carry out face lifting with minimal risk to health. But, nevertheless, complications are possible.
Hematoma is an accumulation of blood under the skin. This complication occurs almost exclusively in patients suffering from hypertension. Moreover, if the diagnosis is known, the treatment is correctly selected, the risk of hematoma is minimal. The problem arises when a patient undergoes a facelift who has not paid attention to periodic, perhaps rare, increases in blood pressure, and is not aware of his problem. To protect yourself from this complication, it is necessary to expand the scope of the preoperative examination.
Another complication of a facelift associated with poor preoperative preparation is necrosis (death) of the skin. This problem is the lot of smokers and patients with decompensated diabetes mellitus.
The most unpleasant complication, which, fortunately, is extremely rare, is damage to the branches of the facial nerve. Fortunately, in the vast majority of cases, facial nerve function recovers on its own within a few months.
If the operation is performed by an experienced surgeon, a full preoperative examination has been performed, and the patient fully complies with the doctor’s recommendations, then the likelihood of negative consequences will be minimal.

Types of circular lift
Classic face lift (rhytidectomy) . With this type of facial plastic surgery, the surgeon makes surgical incisions in the area of the scalp of the forehead, in the fold in front of the auricle and behind the ear. The technique involves manipulations to move, redistribute and give the desired position to tissues with subsequent tension of the skin. No work is done with the muscular frame during rhytidectomy, so the method is applicable mainly to patients with moderate age-related skin changes and without excess fatty tissue.
The operation is usually performed within 1-3 hours, under general or combined anesthesia.
The results of a facelift can last up to 5-7 years (if you follow all medical recommendations for facial care).
With a classic circular facelift, soft tissue and skin are plasticized, but the facial muscles are not involved. And after several years, the skin, under the weight of the muscles, is able to return to its previous (relaxed) state. Therefore, recently, surgeons are increasingly resorting to combined techniques that combine the techniques of classic facelift + SMAS lifting or endoscopic facelift and other techniques.
Deep circular lift (SMAS-lifting) . The technique combines elements of classic facelift and work with the deep layers of the face - muscles and tendons. (SMAS is an abbreviation for Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System, i.e. superficial muscular-aponeurotic system).
Manipulations with the SMAS layer make it possible not only to get rid of wrinkles and folds, but also to strengthen the muscular frame of the face and return it to its original relief.
The operation takes 3 hours (on average) and is performed mainly under general anesthesia.
The effect of a deep circular lift lasts much longer than that of a classic rhytidectomy - for 8-10 years or longer.

Endoscopic facelift. With this type of facial plastic surgery, the surgeon works with the same tissues as with SMAS lifting. Only long incisions here replace miniature (1-2 cm) punctures, through which all manipulations are carried out using the finest endoscopic equipment and a video monitor. The doctor sequentially isolates the muscular aponeurotic layer and then tightens it along with the adjacent skin flaps.
The duration of the operation and the type of anesthesia depend on the scope of the intervention.
The advantages of endoscopic lifting are noticeable rejuvenation, invisible stitches and short rehabilitation. However, the technique is suitable mainly for people 35-45 years old. For older patients with pronounced deep wrinkles, more radical techniques are recommended that allow surgical excision of excess skin.
Combined facelift . When using a combined technique, the plastic surgeon touches not only the superficial tissues near the outer edge of the masseter muscle, but also the deep tissues up to the masseter muscle.
The use of different techniques (tissue mobilization at the SMAS level, movement of muscle-fibrous structures in different directions, excision of excess skin, neck lift, etc.) allows you to correct deep and superficial tissues, stretching them in different directions.
The duration of the operation depends on the complexity of the chosen techniques and can be 2-6 hours. Anesthesia - general.
