Is Sagging Neck Skin Making You Look Older Than You Feel?

Do you notice:

  • Loose, crepey skin under the chin?
  • Bulging fat or fullness that hides your jawline?
  • Deep vertical bands or a “turkey neck”?
  • A neckline that looks older in photos or video calls?

The neck is one of the first areas to show aging — and unfortunately, creams or non-surgical treatments cannot reverse significant sagging. A poorly defined neck can affect your confidence, especially in side profiles or close-up pictures.

Neck Plasty (Neck Lift) offers a long-lasting, natural correction.

At Instar Aesthetics, Dr. Shukan Kapadia combines precision techniques to lift, tighten, and reshape the neck — giving you a smoother, firmer, more youthful profile without an unnatural “tight” look.

FAQs – Neck Lift / Platysmaplasty

What age is ideal for a neck lift?

Most patients are between 35–65, but suitability depends on skin quality—not age alone.

Is the procedure painful?

Mild discomfort may occur but is manageable with medication. Most patients describe it as very tolerable.

When can I go back to daily activities?

Most return to routine work in 7–10 days.

Are scars visible?

Incisions are placed discreetly behind the ears or under the chin, making scars almost invisible once healed.

How long do results last?

Typically 10 years or more, depending on aging and lifestyle factors.

Can a neck lift be combined with a facelift?

Yes — combining procedures often provides smoother, more harmonious results.

Is a neck lift better than non-surgical tightening?

For mild laxity, non-surgical treatments help. For moderate to severe sagging, a surgical neck lift is far more effective and long-lasting.
