About the Procedure:
Cervicoplasty, or neck lift, is an effective solution for those who wish to improve the appearance of the neck area, eliminating excess skin and redefining the contours of the jaw. Ideal for people who have lost firmness in the neck area due to factors such as aging or weight changes, cervicoplasty restores a harmonious profile, highlighting the jawline and the angle of the neck.
The procedure is performed through discreet incisions around the ears and sometimes on the underside of the chin. Through these small incisions, the surgeon removes excess skin, reduces accumulated fat and tightens the muscles to give a firmer appearance. The results are long-lasting and offer a natural rejuvenation.
In addition, for those who wish to combine surgery with travel, we offer a medical tourism service in Medellin, which includes lodging, transportation and postoperative care. Thus, our patients can recover in comfort and privacy in an ideal environment.
