If sagging skin or neck bands make you feel older than you are, you’re not alone—over 50,000 neck lifts are performed annually. Yet many avoid this procedure due to fragmented care or hidden costs. Direct Primary Care (DPC) transforms this journey by offering tailored, transparent support—so you can reclaim a youthful profile with confidence.
A neck lift (platysmaplasty) tightens loose skin and muscles, addressing sagging jowls or “turkey neck.” Performed under general anesthesia, recovery takes 2–3 weeks.
Key facts for patients:
Uses: Treat excess skin, muscle banding, or fat deposits.
Safety: Low complication rates (5–10%); risks include hematoma or nerve injury.
Costs: Traditional clinics charge 8,000–15,000 USD; DPC reduces fees by 20–30%.
Risks of impersonal care:
Asymmetry or over-tightening requiring revisions.
Undermanaged pain or scarring.
Financial strain from unplanned touch-ups.
Direct Primary Care (DPC) operates on a membership model (150–300 USD/month), providing unlimited access to a provider who coordinates every phase—from consult to scar care.
Health screening: Assess heart health, diabetes control, or smoking status.
Lifestyle prep: Advise quitting smoking, adjusting blood thinners, or weight management.
Surgeon collaboration: Partner with board-certified plastic surgeons for natural results.
All-inclusive pricing: No hidden fees for anesthesia, facility use, or follow-ups.
Reduced fees: DPC members pay 6,400–12,000 USD vs. 15,000+ USD traditionally.
Mental wellness: Address body image concerns or post-op anxiety.
24/7 access: Message your provider about swelling, numbness, or incision concerns.
Scar management: Recommend silicone gel, massage, or laser treatments.
Long-term care: Schedule annual skin checks to maintain results.

Slashing wait times: 90% of patients undergo surgery within 4 weeks vs. 6+ months traditionally.
Reducing revisions: 95% satisfaction vs. 80% in fragmented systems.
Cutting costs: Members save 2,000–5,000 USD through bundled pricing.
A neck lift isn’t just about looking younger—it’s about feeling confident in your reflection. With DPC, you gain a partner who ensures meticulous care, transparent communication, and results that reflect your vision. No bureaucracy, no billing surprises—just renewed confidence from every angle.
