Over the years some patients accumulate an excess of fat along with an increase in skin laxity that determines an undefined cervical area. Vertical bands appear on the neck, known as platysmal bands, interrupting the natural contour of the neck. The cervical lift seeks to eliminate excess fat, re-tense the superficial muscles of the neck eliminating the platysmal bands and rearrange the skin to improve the definition of the cervicofacial angle.
