What is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance of the neck by tightening the skin and muscles. This procedure is best for those with loose, sagging neck skin due to aging or weight loss. Excess skin and fat are removed, and the underlying muscles are tightened, resulting in a more contoured appearance.

Is a Neck Lift for You?

You have excess skin or fat in your neck area, causing sagging or drooping
You have wrinkles or creases in your neck area, causing you to look older than you feel
You’re in good overall health and free of medical conditions that could increase your risk of complications during or after the procedure
You are a non-smoker or are willing to quit smoking for some time before and after the process to reduce your risk of complications

How it Works

Neck lift surgery is typically performed with sedation or general anesthesia under local anesthesia. Your surgeon makes small incisions behind the ears and/or under the chin, removing excess skin and fat and tightening the underlying muscles. The remaining skin is then pulled taut and sutured. The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours; most patients can return home the same day. Recovery time varies depending on the individual, but most patients can return to work and other normal activities within 1-2 weeks.

The Benefits of a Neck Lift

Neck lift surgery can help improve the appearance of the neck
A more youthful and defined neck can help boost self-confidence and improve overall quality of life
The results of neck lift surgery are long-lasting and can help you maintain a more youthful appearance for years to come
Neck lift surgery can help improve the contour of the neck, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, lines, and sagging skin
By tightening the skin and muscles in the neck, neck lift surgery can also enhance the definition of the jawline
A neck lift can help improve the fit of clothing, particularly high-necked or tight-fitting garments, by reducing the appearance of excess skin and fat in the neck area

Your Recovery Process

After neck lift surgery, we’ll closely monitor your recovery and provide medication to manage pain. Swelling and bruising are common in the initial stages but will gradually subside over the next few weeks. Limiting physical activity and avoiding lifting heavy objects during the early stages of recovery is essential. Most patients can return to work and other normal activities within 1-2 weeks, but full recovery can take up to 8 weeks. Our team will provide detailed post-operative instructions and follow-up care to ensure a safe and successful recovery.

Elegant Results

Patients typically experience improved self-confidence and a more rejuvenated appearance. While scarring is present, it naturally fades over time and becomes less noticeable. The results of neck lift surgery are long-lasting and can help patients maintain a more youthful appearance for years to come.
