Neck Lift in Virginia Beach

Jump To

The neck lift (platysmaplasty) is a facial plastic surgery procedure designed to improve the appearance of the neck. Dr. Kyle Choe, a board-certified facial plastic surgeon specializing in facial and neck procedures, is renowned as a leading provider of neck lift surgery in Virginia Beach.

What Does a Neck Lift Treat?

Changes in the face and neck are the most obvious and earliest signs of aging. Many people develop a “turkey waddle,” as it is often called. This unwanted look is caused by the sheet-like platysma muscle in the neck beginning to sag. These bands become thick and cord-like and dangle between the jawbone and the collarbone.

This becomes very unsightly for both men and women who are very “age-conscious” and who prefer not to live with these unwelcome signs of aging. Platysmaplasty necklift (most always performed with neck liposuction and full lower facelift) can correct this problem and turn back the clock.

No – you will still look like you – only a little younger and healthier! Most people will make remarks such as: “Gee you look great – or did you change your hairstyle, or have you been on vacation?”

No. Dr. Choe will make the incisions very inconspicuous by hiding them behind your ears and under your chin. They are made in “natural crease lines” so they are barely visible and heal very well. They are not noticeable at all after a few weeks.

Healing varies with each patient, but most of our patients are getting back to normal within 2-3 weeks and look great within 6 weeks. Within 6 months – your recovery is nearly complete.

He can then determine the best treatment approach for you. All costs associated with your neck lift will be reviewed with you once Dr. Choe has created your personalized treatment plan.

I had a lower face and neck lift and I am so happy with the results. Dr. Choe and his entire staff are absolutely amazing. They are kind, caring and professional. Dr. Choe is a phenomenal surgeon and really cares about his patients. He personally reaches out to you before and after the surgery to see if you have any questions before the surgery and how you are doing afterwards. Most places someone from the staff would call. My entire experience from scheduling the appointment through the surgery was excellent. No pressure after the consultation, I was given the details and then I was allowed to think about it and called when I was ready to move forward. I had a lot of anxiety prior to the surgery but Dr. Choe took the time to answer my questions. I’m so happy I chose Dr. Choe for my surgery. I couldn’t be happier with the results. I look at least 10 years younger and it looks so natural. Thanks to Dr. Choe my confidence is back. I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else. Thank you Dr. Choe !!!
