Refine the Neckline With Lasting Elegance
Request A ConsultationFor many, the neck is one of the first areas to show signs of aging, while for others, it may have never had the definition they desire to begin with. Fullness beneath the chin, neck banding, and a lack of contour can obscure the natural transition between the face and neck, creating a heavier or less refined profile.
A deep plane neck lift addresses these concerns at their structural foundation. Board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Nirav Savalia skillfully imparts sculptural definition to the neckline for elegant results that endure.
Dr. Savalia is very personable and takes as much time as you need to answer your questions. I recommended him to my friends and I highly recommend Dr. Savalia to you. You are in excellent hands. He genuinely cares and is happy for your results right along with you.

A deep plane neck lift is an advanced surgical platysmaplasty technique designed to sculpt and refine the neck by addressing the skin and deeper anatomical structures.
The appearance of the neck is shaped by several underlying tissues and structures. These include skin, subcutaneous fat, the platysma muscle, deeper fatty compartments, the submandibular glands, and fibrous connective tissues—all of which may be repositioned as necessary in a deep plane neck lift.
Whereas traditional neck lifts rely on tightening the skin or superficial muscle layers, the deep plane neck lift focuses on reshaping the underlying framework. This may include: contouring the platysma muscle, removing or repositioning deep fat deposits, or reducing the submandibular glands, to reestablish a clean, defined cervicomental angle (the observable angle between the chin and neck).
By addressing these foundational elements, the procedure creates a more sculpted and natural contour.
At Savalia Plastic Surgery, the patient experience and support are just as important as the end result.
This procedure is particularly well-suited for patients whose primary concerns are isolated to the neck rather than the face.
Ideal candidates typically:
Patients with more advanced facial aging or significant skin laxity may benefit from combining this procedure with a deep plane facelift for more comprehensive rejuvenation.

Premier cosmetic and reconstructive surgery
Preparation begins with an in-depth consultation, where Dr. Savalia evaluates your anatomy and takes the time to fully understand your goals.
During this process, the two of you will:
Patients are strongly advised to avoid blood-thinning medications and nicotine use prior to surgery to support optimal healing and avoid preventable complications, such as hemorrhaging or blood clots.
Deep plane neck lift surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia.
A small, strategically placed incision is made beneath the chin, hidden within the natural crease. Through this access point, Dr. Savalia carefully works within the deeper tissue planes to reshape the structural foundation of the neck. This includes tightening and repositioning the platysma muscle, removing excess deep fat, and refining other underlying contours for a smoother, more defined profile.
Because the procedure targets deeper structures, the skin can be redraped naturally without tension, resulting in an elegant, natural appearance.
After surgery, most patients stay overnight at our fully accredited surgery center for monitoring and comfort. After you are released, you’ll need someone to drive you home. Dr. Savalia will provide you with postoperative instructions to help you avoid complications and ensure a smooth recovery. Follow these carefully.
Mild to moderate bruising, swelling, and tightness are common in early recovery and subside over time. Many patients feel comfortable returning to work and resuming light activities after about two weeks.
Strenuous activities and heavy lifting must be avoided for at least six weeks, or until Dr. Savalia clears you. Follow-up appointments allow Dr. Savalia to monitor your healing progress, so be sure to attend all of them.
Initial results are typically obscured by swelling. As the swelling subsides, the newly refined contours of your neck become increasingly visible. After a few weeks, you’ll notice a cleaner, more sculpted neckline that enhances your overall facial balance and refreshes your appearance. Patients find that their results tend to be natural-looking and durable.
Deep plane neck lift results are typically long lasting. Proper skincare and diligent sun protection are key to maintaining results. Nevertheless, the neck is unlikely to need this level of reshaping again in your lifetime.
Deep plane neck lift incisions are typically hidden beneath the chin. Over time, these incisions tend to fade significantly as they heal and blend well into the skin.
Results are long lasting due to the procedure’s structural nature. While you will continue to age, the improvements achieved are durable and enduring. Many patients find that the results of their deep plane neck lift last 10 to 15 years or longer.
Yes. A deep plane neck lift is often combined with other procedures, such as a deep plane facelift, brow lift, or skin resurfacing, for more comprehensive results.
For patients with more significant structural concerns, a deep plane neck lift offers more complete and lasting contouring than liposuction, which removes only superficial fat and does not address the neck where it ages. A deep plane neck lift resculpts at the structural level for more profound results.
There isn’t a specific age group that is best suited for a deep plane neck lift. The best timing is determined by individual signs of aging or dissatisfaction with neck fullness. Patients achieve ideal results the sooner they address these concerns, rather than waiting for more advanced signs of aging.
Yes. A deep plane neck lift alone is often a good choice if the main concern is neck laxity or submental fullness without significant jowling or facial aging.
The endotracheal tube used during general anesthesia can cause a raspy or hoarse voice for a few days after surgery. Tightening of the neck muscles can cause difficulty swallowing or the sensation of a lump in the throat. This should resolve within a few days. If patients experience these symptoms, they’re not generally due to structural damage to the throat or neck.

A., Google ReviewDr. Savalia and his staff cared for me when I needed it most. I needed to have some breast tissue removed for review, and he was able to rapidly qualify me for a breast reduction as well for my back pain in long ongoing issues. I’m incredibly pleased with the results, and was shocked how little to no pain I had post surgery. As a registered nurse, I was very impressed with his bedside manner and the professionalism of his staff. I would highly recommend him and choose him over and over again if I had a choice.
