Neck Lift and Direct Primary Care (DPC): Rejuvenation, Personalized
If your neck bands or sagging skin make you look older than you are, you're not alone—more than 50,000 neck lifts are done every year. But a lot of people don't want to do this because of broken care or hidden costs. Direct Primary Care (DPC) changes this journey by giving you personalized, clear support that helps you get your youthful profile back with confidence.
What is a neck lift? It's a way to shape a youthful contour.
A neck lift, also called platysmaplasty, tightens loose skin and muscles to fix sagging jowls or "turkey neck." The procedure is done under general anesthesia, and it takes 2–3 weeks to heal.
Important information for patients:
- Uses: Get rid of extra skin, muscle bands, or fat deposits.
- Safety: There are few complications (5–10%); possible problems include nerve damage or hematoma.
- Costs: Traditional clinics charge between 8,000 USD and 15,000 USD. DPC lowers fees by 20% to 30%.
The dangers of impersonal care are:
- Asymmetry or over-tightening that needs to be fixed.
- Pain or scarring that isn't managed well.
- Unplanned touch-ups can put a strain on your finances.

- Case 2: Tom, 60, has muscle banding in case 2. Tom's DPC provider took care of his blood pressure before the surgery, making sure it was safe and clear about the costs.
