What causes a “cobra neck” after a facelift and can it be corrected?
This deformity is often the result of overly aggressive neck liposuction combined with inadequate support of the platysma muscle. When too much fat is removed, thin skin can shrink wrap around the underlying structures, creating that characteristic central depression.
Correction may require a fully released deep plane face and neck lift, platysmaplasty, careful fat management, and sometimes fat grafting.
Modern neck lifting isn’t about simply removing more, it’s about preserving and reconstructing the right anatomy for a smooth, natural contour.
