Neck Lift
Neck rejuvenation through excess skin removal, liposuction and treatment of the platysma muscle.
Duration
2-3 hours
Anesthesia
General anesthesia or sedation with local
Result
Stabilized result at 3 months; lasts 8-12 years
Overview
Neck lift addresses one of the most visible aging zones: the neck. Loose skin, submental fat deposits, vertical platysmal bands and loss of the sharp cervicomandibular angle transform facial appearance long before facial skin aging. Neck lift restores the youthful neck line and lower facial profile.
Dr. Mubariz Mammadli combines submental liposuction, platysmaplasty (medial suture of platysma muscles) and cervical skin lift, depending on the degree of laxity. For advanced cases, the deep plane approach offers superior results. The procedure can be performed alone or combined with face lift for harmonious rejuvenation.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a neck lift cost in Bucharest?
The price depends on the extent of surgery (submental liposuction alone, platysmaplasty, complete skin lift) and combined procedures. The exact fee is set at consultation.
Can I have only submental liposuction without a lift?
Yes, for younger patients (under 40) with elastic skin and isolated submental fat. Patients with loose skin require skin redraping for optimal results.
How does it differ from Kybella or cryolipolysis?
Kybella and cryolipolysis partially reduce fat without addressing skin or platysma. Surgical neck lift resolves all components of cervical aging with real anatomic results.
Will scars be visible?
The submental incision (1-2 cm) is hidden in the natural crease under the chin. Retroauricular incisions follow the hairline and natural folds. After healing, scars are practically invisible.
How long does the result last?
Neck lift results last 8-12 years. Combination with face lift or deep plane approach extends durability to 12-15 years.
