Your face is probably the first thing you think of with looking older; then, maybe, your hands. But your neck is also a major consideration when it comes to aging. If the creases and extra skin under your chin are making you appear older than you would like, it could be time to take action.
A neck lift might be the answer. This procedure can give your neck a more youthful appearance and is often a solution when you feel the spotlight is no longer on your beautiful and younger-looking face. If you’re considering a neck lift in Mission Viejo or the surrounding Los Angeles area or if you’d like more information, Coastal Dermatology and Plastic Surgery has trained professionals ready to help you.
What Is a Neck Lift?
A neck lift, also called platysmaplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess fat and skin from the neck area to lessen the appearance of wrinkles and creases. It yields a smoother profile and gives the patient an overall more youthful appearance. The procedure tightens the skin and neck muscles to provide lift. It also enhances and shapes the contour of the jawline.
Causes of a Saggy Neck
- Natural aging process
- Large amounts of weight loss
- Heredity
Benefits of a Neck Lift
- Minimizes wrinkles and tiny lines
- Tightens muscles in the front of the neck
- Removes loose, sagging skin
- Makes neck bands less noticeable
- Reshapes the chin and jaw area
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Neck Lift in Mission Viejo?
People with extra skin on their neck, bands and wrinkles, a double chin or a loss of distinction between the neck and the chin area or jawline may all be good candidates for a neck lift. Ideal candidates are generally:
- Non-smokers
- Healthy clients with nothing to impair the healing process
- Clients with a positive outlook
- Clients with realistic expectations

Praise for excellence

Category: generalSince my first visit with Dr. Luxenberg, I have felt there is hope for my skin. Being an elderly woman of 88 years, a redhead with freckles and sensitive skin, it has never been easy for me to find a doctor who really took the time to be thorough with examination and treatments. Not only is Dr. Luxenberg the best dermatologist I've ever been treated by, but he also has a pleasant bedside manner and an amazing, interesting personality. I can tell that he genuinely cares if his patients are comfortable during treatments. When I was referred to Dr. Luxenberg, some three years ago, it was a very good day for me.
You will not find a better Dermatologist than Dr. Rosenberg
by Matthew Thomas
Category: generalDr. Rosenberg has been my dermatologist since 2005. I grew up swimming competitively while also playing water polo, tennis and volleyball and I knew my years in the sun would ultimately catch up to my skin. His proactive approach and thoroughness during my visits has been a tremendous help! Dr. Rosenberg also has a table side manor that other doctors should strive to achieve. His back office staff are kind, friendly and very timely when responding to questions and inquiries. I cannot say enough good things about him and his practice!!!

Surgery on face
by Christine McDonnell
Category: serviceDr luxenberg I was referred to Dr Matthew Luxenberg at the Los Alamitos office by a friend of mine. He came highly recommended. My L jaw line was extremely swollen and painful. I have presently seen Dr Luxenbery 2x so far. The day of the appt the front office staff & the nursing staff were kind & compassionate. My appts have been right on time so I never had any waiting. They used extra precautions due to covid so I felt very safe. I have been an RN PHN for over 30 years and know many many doctors that I have worked with and gone to as a patient. I have been so impressed with Dr Luxenberg that I felt compelled to write a review. Dr Luxenberg is not only an EXCELLENT doctor but he is also very compassionate . It is very difficult t find doctors that have both competency and compassion. Dr Luxenberg has BOTH . Most doctors would NOT have taken care of my medical problem on the 1st visit. They do an initial visit and have you come back . The staff got me an appt within just a few days & the doctor performed surgery on my jaw line at the FIRST VISIT. The office has a surgical room which most doctor offices do NOT have . They have you go t a an out patient surgical clinic or hospital to perform the surgery. This costs the patient a lot of extra money and Incontinence AND increased exposure t covid. It just goes to show how much Dr Luxenberg CARES about his patients & wants to take care of his patients as quick and easy as possible. MY face looks normal again & all my pain is completely gone. I suffered with this pain for over a year. I had went t a plastic surgeon initially in Jan this year . The plastic surgeon did a very poor job on my face and left my jaw line looking abnormal and did not even take care of my medical problem . I was actually in more pain following that appt. I enjoy my visits with Dr Luxenberg because when he is performing surgery he makes SURE the patient has NO pain during the surgery. He is such an excellent doctor he completed my surgery so quickl
Great!
