Neck Lift Surgery in Vancouver, BC
A neck lift is a popular surgery amongst patients who wish to rejuvenate and tighten their neck area while also enhancing the chin and jawline. It helps to remove the excess tissues that result in sagging or fullness of the chin and neck, which often are a result of mass weight loss, genetics, and age. For patients who opt for it, neck lift procedures carry a high patient satisfaction rate that have helped many balance their natural facial features so they can feel more confident in the skin they're in.

The Benefits of Neck Lift Surgery
The neck and chin area are very sensitive aesthetic areas for a lot of people, as they can often be at odds with how we feel about our age and weight. The excess skin and fat that often results from aging, weight-loss, and sometimes just purely because of genetics, can be stubborn and unsightly for some. Neck lift surgery hosts a number of benefits with results such as:
- Definition of the neck angle
- Definition of the jawline and chin
- Reduction of a double chin
- Reduced neck fullness
- Reduction of large folds of excess skin and fat

Frequently Asked
Those looking at Neck Lift surgery typically are noticing advanced sagging in their chin and neck, either due to age, weight-loss or genetics. Light sagging, and looking to define the angle of your chin and neck usually means that Platysmaplasty is your ideal treatment. If you are experiencing sagging, folds and wrinkling, as well as a loss of separation between the neck and the chin/jaw, this typically requires a Z Plasty Neck Lift. A complimentary pre-assessment with our patient care managers will determine which procedure is most suitable for you.
Depending on which technique is performed, recovery times will vary. As the Z Plasty Neck Lift is more invasive, you will be required to wear a compression garment for several weeks after surgery. Swelling will reduce enough to see the complete results of your Neck Lift between 3-4 weeks post-surgery. With Platysmaplasty, the recovery is shorter, with the dressings being able to be removed 24 hours post-surgery. The full results are visible 7-10 days after surgery. A set of comprehensive pre and post-surgery instructions will be explained verbally, and reiterated in writing for you. Our patient care managers are also available to answer any questions you may have, at any time.
Dr. Thomas Buonassisi has two different techniques he will perform with Neck Lift surgery, depending on the anatomy of your neck muscle, how the skin and fat has formed, and your aesthetic goals. Platysmaplasty is a less invasive technique focused on reducing the mento-cervical angle, which is the angle created when you trace from your chin, to your neck, then to your collar. Z Plasty Neck Lift is more invasive, as it also includes removing any excess skin and fat for an added level of definition. Both techniques are quite different in how they are performed, but both are often combined with a Face Lift. A Face Lift may also provide a subtle lift of the neck, and may be suggested instead of a neck lift if it is more suitable for your goals. During your pre-consultation process, Dr. Buonassisi will review your photos and make suggestions based on a number of factors and suggest the best surgery options for you.

I had a wonderful experience at 8 West Cosmetic Surgery and Skin Clinic. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend Dr Buonassisi and his staff in Vancouver, BC.
Amazing staff, my surgery went well and so did the healing process. I was able to reach out if I had any issues and Micah was amazing with her prompt response. I would recommend anyone that is considering this clinic.
I had the absolute best possible experience at 8 West! Everyone was so responsive whenever I had questions and the surgery/healing went by super smoothly with no complications! I was pretty nervous but felt really reassured by everyone at the surgical centre. Highly highly recommend!
