What is a Limited Incision Neck Lift

A limited incision neck lift, also called platysmaplasty, gently addresses excess fat and loose skin in the lower face and neck area. This procedure delicately tightens the neck muscles, smooths the skin, and removes unwanted fat to soften the appearance of jowls and under-chin fullness. The result is a beautifully refined, more youthful neck and jawline. This surgery can be done on its own or combined with treatments like a facelift, eyelid lift, or dermal fillers for a complete, refreshed look.

Benefits of a Limited Incision Neck Lift

Tightened Neck Muscles for a Smoother Appearance

In addition to addressing skin and fat, the procedure tightens the underlying neck muscles, known as the platysma. This muscle-tightening provides longer-lasting results and ensures the neck appears smooth, firm, and free of visible banding or sagging.

Sharper Neck-Jaw Angle

The limited incision neck lift enhances the definition between the neck and jaw, creating a sharper, more youthful neck-jaw angle. This improvement helps restore a well-defined profile, giving the appearance of a more sculpted and contoured jawline.

Reduction of Sagging Skin

As we age, skin loses its elasticity, leading to sagging and the development of jowls along the jawline. This procedure effectively reduces the appearance of jowls by tightening the skin, helping to restore a smoother, firmer jawline without extensive surgery.

Removal of Fatty Deposits Under the Chin

The limited incision neck lift can remove unwanted fatty deposits beneath the chin, often referred to as a “double chin.” By removing this excess fat, the neck appears leaner and more toned, resulting in a slimmer, more defined look.

Minimally Invasive with Faster Recovery

The limited incision neck lift is a minimally invasive procedure, which means smaller incisions and less scarring. With fewer incisions, patients experience a quicker recovery time compared to traditional neck lifts, allowing them to return to their daily activities with minimal downtime.

A More Youthful, Refined Neck and Jawline

Overall, the limited incision neck lift delivers a more youthful, refreshed appearance by restoring balance to the neck and jawline. By addressing signs of aging in a subtle yet effective way, the procedure helps patients achieve natural, long-lasting results that enhance their facial harmony and boost their confidence.

Testimonials

Real stories, real results

I traveled from New Hampshire and spent 3 weeks in Florida just to go to Dr. Prendiville. My Dad had gone to him and I was extremely impressed with his work.  I highly recommend Dr. Prendiville and would give him more stars if I could 😀. He’s a doctor you can trust and have 100% confidence in. He is the best!

Doctor Prendeville did some work on my face and just after 3 months the results are unbelievable. I was already very impressed with the office staff they are so professional but must important they are very kind and loving. Believe me I will do it again and again, but only with him trust me you will never regret it.

I had a rhinoplasty with Dr. Prendiville in April 2024, and had a wonderful experience. The office staff is warm, and knowledgeable.  Everyone made me feel comfortable, and cared for. I look like a refined version of myself. I’m so happy! If you are on the fence, I would definitely recommend Dr. Prendiville!

Megan

I had the privilege of Dr. Prendiville performing my facelift and eye lift and I am beyond thrilled with his work.  He and his office are extremely professional and caring and I am so happy I chose him.  If you are considering a facelift, you won’t be disappointed.  I look completely natural but probably 20 years younger!  Thank you Dr. Prendiville!

Marie

I had a lower facelift done by Dr. Prendiville, and the results are A-MAZING. Friends and family say I look the same as I did 10-15 years ago. When I look in the mirror, I see myself, not the person with the heavy neck and jowls who refused pictures. I can’t say enough about how pleased I am with the results! Highly recommend.

Rose

My husband had a neck lift by Dr. Prendiville and is very pleased with the results. He looks many years younger than his age. What a huge difference one procedure like that can make! I am an RN and do thorough and detailed research before choosing my medical professionals because I only want the very best, as we all deserve.

Dena

Forever grateful to Dr. Prendiville and his team.  He has his own genius and competency along with every each and everyone you meet in his office!   He is one of the few surgeons who specializes in only the face and neck plastic surgery.  Take it from me, he kept me from being invisible as an older woman, safely.  Experience matters. ✨️
