A Youthful Neckline Can Reverse Time
Over time, the skin, muscles, and structural fatty tissue in the neck lose tone and begin to sag — creating an unflattering double chin or “hangdog” look that can make you appear years older than you feel. A customized neck lift performed by the board-certified surgeons at The Piazza Center in Austin, TX manipulates the platysma muscle in the neck and removes unwanted fatty or glandular tissue, leaving a crisp, snug neck contour that helps patients rejuvenate their neckline and Live Confidently.

Everything You Need to Know
Common Reasons for a Neck Lift
- A sagging neck with no major signs of facial aging
- A double chin, from age or genetics, that persists despite diet and exercise
- Vertical or horizontal neck banding
- Jowls or a “turkey neck”
The Surgical Approach
Through a small incision under the chin, Dr. Piazza removes excess skin and fatty tissue and sews the platysma muscles together in a more youthful configuration. If a considerable amount of excess skin is present, additional incisions behind the ear or along the hairline may be used.
