Neck Lift 

In simplest terms, ’platysmaplasty’ is an operation that is performed to surgically tighten the facial tissues. I perform what is called a modified deep-plane lift, meaning that an emphasis is placed on muscle tightening, not pulling the skin tight. This creates a natural look, and not a “wind-blown” appearance. I feel strongly about avoiding a surgical, pulled-too-tight look, and I find that conservative tightening is the best way to go. I hide my incisions around the ears and in the back part of the hair. This incision hides very well in both men (click for image) and women (click for image). For many of my patients, getting rid of that “turkey gobbler” look is one of their greatest rewards from this procedure.

To fully understand the costs of cosmetic surgery, you must understand the guiding principles of Dr. Mobley’s medical practice: quality, safety, and respect for costs. With over 20 years of experience, Mobley MD has not designed the surgical experience to be the lowest bid; rather, he aims to provide an exceptionally high-quality surgical experience with exceptional results.

Three main components contribute to your final cosmetic surgery fee: the surgeon’s fee, the surgical facility fee, and the anesthesia provider fee. Your surgeon’s fee will be determined following a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Mobley, which includes a detailed history, physical examination, and discussion of your aesthetic goals. Most neck lift surgeries are performed at Millcreek Surgical Suite, an advanced AAAASF-certified surgical facility, with care provided by some of Utah’s top anesthesia specialists.

When combining all three fees (surgeon, facility, and anesthesia), the total cost for a neck lift procedure typically starts at $23,000 & up and may increase depending on your specific needs and the complexity of your procedure, including additional treatments like neck liposuction or lifting techniques. While lower fees may be available elsewhere, Mobley MD prides itself on the exceptional reputation and expertise of Dr. Mobley as one of the most respected Facial Plastic Surgeons in the Intermountain West.

After your consultation, you'll receive a clear and easy-to-understand quote for your individualized surgical plan. Facility and anesthesia fees are time-based and may adjust based on the actual duration of your surgery.

Dr. Mobley wants to make cosmetic surgery available to as many people as possible. For that reason we have  partnered with CareCredit to provide lending services. When you come in for your consultation we will be more than happy to go over all your financial options with you.

Rhytidectomy requires one to two weeks for a thorough recovery. Some of my patients are ready to work after just one week, but most require two weeks for a complete recovery. It is my experience that most people desire some privacy to their recovery, so waiting a full two weeks can be the best approach.

Every type of surgery has risks. It’s my ethical responsibility to educate you on these risks so you can make the best possible decision for yourself while weighing these risks against the benefits of surgery. My training helps me to minimize these risks to the best of my ability, but I cannot eliminate them entirely. Common risks include loss of hair follicles near incision sites, distortion of the earlobe, asymmetry, numb earlobe, thick scars, residual fat or skin laxity, and blood collection under the skin. The risks above are the most common ones that I think you should be aware of, but they are not a complete list of all possible risks. When I see you in consultation and we begin to formulate your surgical treatment plan, I’ll review with you not only these common risks but also the less likely complications that may occur.
