What is the more common term for the cosmetic medical procedure called 'platysmaplasty'?

Platysmaplasty, also known as a neck lift, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that reduces the appearance of loose or sagging skin in the neck area and beneath the jaw.

Patients may choose platysmaplasty for a variety of reasons - to remove loose skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles in their neck that may be caused by ageing, substantial weight loss or other loss of skin elasticity caused by factors such as sun damage or genetics.

Platysmaplasty treatments are suitable for people who are worried about the appearance of their necks and feel that the excess skin is negatively impacting their self-confidence.

Platysmaplasty procedures are carried out under general anaesthetic, and take approximately two hours to complete.
