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.

I was never one to think about plastic surgery until I took a long, hard look in the mirror. I realized all of the self care, good nutrition, and exercise was not going to repair years of sun damage, droopy jowls, and a sagging neckline. As a Registered Nurse, I’ve spent thirty years caring for others. I felt it was time for me to do something just for me. It was imperative to have a surgeon I could trust.
From the consult with Dr Choe to my esteem bolstering face/neck lift procedure, laser treatments, and post operative appointments, I knew I had made the right decision! The care and bedside manner of Dr Choe and his entire staff has been nothing short of exceptional! As someone who has worked with hundreds of surgeons, I have very high standards. He and his staff met and exceeded every one. His Certified Surgical Technician, Patricia is an awesome resource! I can say without a doubt, this has been a life changing experience for me. If you are thinking about doing something nice for yourself, Dr Choe has my highest recommendation.
