Warning About Traditional vs. Deep Neck Lifts

If you've previously had a traditional neck lift, it likely included platysmaplasty (muscle tightening). This complicates a subsequent deep neck lift, as scar tissue and altered anatomy make the revision significantly more complex. You’ll be paying two procedure costs, with the second at higher revision pricing—yet most surgeons performing traditional lifts won’t warn you about this financial and surgical burden.

Prevalence of Traditional Neck Lifts (The Hiding Of The Upsell)

    90–95% of plastic surgeons still perform traditional neck lifts, which prioritize skin tightening and basic platysmaplasty.

    Only 5–10% specialize in deep plane neck lifts, which address deeper structures for longer-lasting, natural results.

The traditional approach is more common, less effective, and often leads to costly revisions. Patients are rarely informed that a deep neck lift would have been the better long-term investment upfront. Always seek a deep plane specialist to avoid paying twice.

Let’s be clear—the majority of patients are being exploited.
