Revision Neck Lift IN Beverly Hills
Corrective Deep-Neck Rejuvenation by Dr. Elie Ramly
A revision neck lift is among the most complex procedures in facial plastic surgery. When a prior neck lift fails to correct banding, fullness, gland visibility, or contour issues — or worse, creates new irregularities — restoring a natural, sculpted neck requires profound anatomical understanding and advanced surgical precision.
At Ramly Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, Dr. Elie Ramly specializes in revision neck lift and revision platysmaplasty, rebuilding deep-neck structure and restoring a clean, elegant neck contour — the foundation of a youthful, refined profile.
The goal: a neck that looks natural, smooth, and beautifully defined, without signs of surgery or tension.
Why Patients Seek a Revision Neck Lift
Common concerns after a previous neck lift include:
Persistent or worsened platysma banding
Recurrence of under-chin fullness
Incomplete or superficial SMAS/platysma work
A blunted or undefined cervicomental angle
Visible submandibular gland prominence
Residual deep fat pads that were never treated
Contour irregularities or asymmetry
Over-tightened, unnatural, or distorted appearance
Mismatch between face and neck rejuvenation
Scar placement or ear position issues
A prior “mini neck lift” that had little effect
Revision neck lift patients want what should have been achieved the first time: a clean, natural, structurally correct neck.
Why Revision Neck Lifts Are More Complex
Secondary neck lift surgery must navigate:
Scarred tissue planes
Prior platysma alterations
Neck bands that were incompletely or incorrectly repaired
Deep structures manipulated or left untreated
Altered tissue mobility
Previous skin tension vectors
Thinned or over-resected tissues
Gland prominence from missed diagnosis
Inconsistency in prior surgical technique
Expert revision neck lift requires deep-neck mastery, delicate tissue handling, and architectural reconstruction — not just skin tightening.
Dr. Ramly’s Approach to Revision Neck Lift Surgery
Structure. Balance. Anatomical Precision.
Revision neck surgery begins with understanding exactly what went wrong — and then rebuilding the correct deep-neck foundation.
Dr. Ramly focuses on:
Releasing previous scar tissue and re-establishing natural neck planes
Comprehensive platysma repair (anterior & lateral) to correct bands
Deep-neck sculpting, addressing fat pads never treated previously
Selective submandibular gland contouring when prominence distorts contour
Restoring the true cervicomental angle
Refining incisions to improve or replace poorly positioned scars
Recreating a smooth, seamless face-to-neck transition
Each revision plan is bespoke, based on the patient’s anatomy, prior surgery, and desired aesthetic.
What a Revision Neck Lift Can Fix
A revision neck lift can correct:
Recurrent or persistent neck bands
Residual fat under the chin or mid-neck
Lack of definition or “hanging” appearance
Irregularities after liposuction or prior neck lift
Asymmetry from improper or uneven repair
Prominent submandibular glands that distort contour
Heavy or bulky deep-neck structures unaddressed previously
A neck that looks “aged” despite prior surgery
Poor scarring or ear-neck transitions
The goal is a clean, sculpted, youthful neck that looks real — not pulled, hollow, or tight.
Revision Neck Lift vs. Primary Neck Lift
A primary neck lift is performed on clear, predictable tissue planes with intact anatomy, making platysma repair relatively straightforward and gland work rarely necessary. In contrast, a revision neck lift must navigate scarred, altered, or previously manipulated layers, requiring the surgeon to rebuild or correct prior work before any true rejuvenation can occur. Platysma repair often needs complete re-engineering, and selective submandibular gland contouring is more frequently required to restore a clean, natural neck profile. The surgical time is typically longer and the reconstruction far more meticulous, demanding a higher level of expertise — ideally from a surgeon who routinely performs deep-neck procedures and understands revision anatomy intimately.
Fat Grafting in Revision Neck Lift (When Needed)
Some patients develop:
Hollowing under the chin
Harsh transition from chin to neck
Thin or tightened skin from prior surgery
Subtle micro-fat grafting can restore:
Smooth contour
Natural under-chin curvature
Better structural support
Always done with restraint — never overfilled.
Ideal Candidates for Revision Neck Lift
You may benefit from revision neck lift surgery if you:
Had a prior neck lift with disappointing results
Still have visible neck bands or fullness
Notice neck contour irregularities or asymmetry
Have gland prominence that was never addressed
Feel your neck does not match your facial rejuvenation
Want natural, balanced contours without visible tension
Prefer quiet-luxury results that preserve identity

Recovery Timeline
Week 1: swelling, tightness, mild bruising

Revision neck lift recovery is often similar to — or only slightly longer than — primary surgery.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can a revision neck lift fix persistent neck bands?
Yes — comprehensive anterior and lateral platysma repair is often required to fully correct banding.
Do you address gland visibility?
Yes — selective submandibular gland contouring may be performed when indicated.
Why do I still have a double chin after my first surgery?
Deep fat pads or neck structures were likely never treated. Revision surgery corrects this.
Can I combine revision neck lift with revision facelift?
Yes — and many patients benefit from this combined approach. (We will link to the revision facelift page.)
Is the recovery longer than my first neck lift?
Often similar, though more detailed aftercare may be needed due to scar tissue.
