Z PLASTY
WHAT IS Z PLASTY?
Men who have a sagging neck are a unique challenge for the facial plastic surgeon. Unlike in women, where traditional facelift incisions may be hidden around the ears, most men wear shorter hairstyles which may make traditional incision lines more visible.

Further, men's skin is much heavier than women’s and tends to sag earlier after traditional facelifts. Finally, men who undergo traditional facelifts often find themselves shaving under and behind their earlobes due to the lifting of bearded skin into these areas. A better solution in men, then, is the Direct Neck Excision with Z-Plasty.
In this procedure, sagging skin, muscle, and fat are removed along the front of the neck, and the incision is closed into a large Z shape to improve healing. This procedure, properly performed, provides the best and most durable rejuvenation possible for the male neck, without the above downsides of traditional facelifting.
