What Is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift is a surgical procedure that addresses the signs of aging in the neck—an area typically neglected with preventative treatments until suddenly has become more severe. Neck lifts can address sagging jowls and skin, excess fat, or neck banding. Each neck lift is customized to specifically address the unique needs and aesthetic goals of each individual patient, including improving the appearance of:

Muscle and skin laxity
Jawline definition
Double chin
Wrinkles in the neck
Muscle bands

Typically, patients considering neck lifts are also concerned about their mid- or upper-facial region appearance as well. As such, other facial rejuvenation procedures can be performed concurrently to limit recovery time and cost-effectiveness, including:

Facelift
Brow lift
Eyelid surgery, or Blepharoplasty

No matter which facial rejuvenation procedure you choose, our board-certified expert plastic surgeons listen to understand your aesthetic goals and recommend treatments and procedures that will help you achieve your desired results.

What Are the Benefits of a Neck Lift?

Exercising typically cannot help the appearance of your neck. Neck lifts help rejuvenate your appearance by tightening the skin and revitalizing your jawline and chin for a sleeker, slimmer, more youthful profile.

Following your neck lift, you may experience long-lasting results and:

Slimmer facial profile
More youthful appearance
Tightened skin

What Can I Expect During a Neck Lift Procedure?

Our expert surgeons customize all neck lift procedures with the optimal results of each patient in mind, so each procedure is unique. However, here are some general steps you can expect from your neck lift.

Check-in and Anesthesia

Plan on arriving about an hour prior to your procedure. Once you’ve been greeted and checked in by our team, your surgeon will answer any last questions, ensure you are comfortable, then perform surgical markings. Once you are safely sedated, we will begin your procedure.

Neck Lift Procedure

According to your procedural plan, small, well-concealed incisions will be created behind the ear, within the posterior hairline, or under the chin. From these incisions, your surgeon will remove excess skin and fat, will tighten the muscles, and sculpt your jawline and chin.

Neck Lift Aftercare

Following a neck lift, bruising and swelling are quite common. To reduce swelling, compression dressings will be placed around your head and chin. These dressings will also help your body adjust to its new contours.

Most patients typically return to work in one to two weeks; however, you should avoid strenuous activities that increase blood pressure, including exercising, for four to six weeks. However, you should begin slowly walking as soon as possible following your procedure.
