Say Goodbye to Sagging Skin
with a Neck Lift Surgery in OKC
A neck lift (platysmaplasty) is a highly effective procedure designed to tighten and smooth the skin and muscles of the neck, creating a youthful and elegant profile. Whether you're struggling with loose skin or deep necklines, Dr. Rhodes specializes in delivering natural-looking results. With advanced techniques and individualized care, we help patients in Oklahoma City regain their confidence and a more refined look.
What is a Neck Lift?
A neck lift addresses the visible signs of aging in the neck by removing excess fat and skin, tightening the underlying muscles, and refining the jawline for a smoother and more youthful contour. This procedure is often ideal for individuals who experience:
Sagging or drooping skin along the neck.
Excess fat deposits that create a "double chin."
Neck banding or prominent vertical lines.
Dr. Rhodes uses advanced surgical techniques specific to your facial anatomy. This provides subtle, natural-looking results. By restoring the structure and shape of the neck, a neck lift can dramatically enhance your overall appearance.
