Male Neck Lift (Platysmaplasty) Surgery with Dr Hunt

Signs of ageing around the neck are common concerns for men as well as women. Dr Hunt has performed hundreds of Neck Lift (Platysmaplasty) Surgeries on men throughout his 20-year career.

Should I Have a Male Neck Lift (Platysmaplasty)?

If you are concerned about skin laxity or excess fat around the neck, then you might be a candidate for Platysmaplasty Surgery.

However, any surgery is a big and highly personal decision. That’s why Dr Hunt personally meets with each and every potential patient to discuss their situation and goals. During this consultation, Dr Hunt will explain Male Neck Lift Platysmaplasty Surgery in detail, as well as evaluate your neck and face.

Dr Hunt will then recommend which Neck Surgery (Platysmaplasty) he feels will be most appropriate according to your characteristics and desired results. Different techniques include Liposuction (removal of excess fat), Cervicoplasty (removal of excess skin) and/or Platysmaplasty (tightening of the skin.)

To avoid risks and complications that could occur during the recovery period, make sure to follow Dr Hunt’s indications.

What’s Involved in Male Neck Surgery (Platysmaplasty)?

After choosing your preferred hospital, Male Platysmaplasty will be performed under general anaesthetic by one of Dr Hunt’s carefully selected anaesthetist partners, all of whom are members of the Australian Society of Anaesthetists. Your safety and care is Dr Hunt’s number one priority.

Your surgery may entail one or more of the following procedures:

  • Liposuction: Dr Hunt will make a small incision below your chin to remove any excess fat from the neck area
  • Cervicoplasty: Dr Hunt will make small incisions behind your ears or under your chin to remove any excess skin
  • Platysmaplasty: Dr Hunt will make small incisions at your hairline or behind your ears to tighten any loose muscles and stretch any excess skin

Your Neck Lift (Platysmaplasty) Surgery may take 1 to 3 hours, depending on the procedures required. During recovery, you will need to avoid smoking, vaping, and alcohol consumption.
