Neck Lift

A neck lift is a transformative procedure designed to enhance the contour of your neck and jawline. It targets excess neck fat, tightens loose skin, and eliminates vertical muscle bands that can create an aging or tired appearance. This procedure not only improves the aesthetic of the neck but also restores youthful definition, providing a more refined and balanced profile.

Whether due to aging, weight loss, or genetic factors, sagging skin and excess fat in the neck area can be a concern for many. A neck lift offers a solution to these issues, creating a smoother, firmer neck with improved contour. The results are subtle yet striking, restoring a youthful and rejuvenated look that enhances your overall facial harmony.

What is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift is a cosmetic surgery designed to improve the appearance of the neck and jawline by removing excess fat, tightening sagging skin, and eliminating vertical muscle bands. The procedure targets common signs of aging or weight loss in the neck area, restoring a more youthful and defined contour. Often combined with a facelift, it provides a smoother, firmer neck with a more balanced overall profile.

During the procedure, the surgeon carefully removes or redistributes fat, tightens underlying muscles, and trims excess skin to rejuvenate the neck’s appearance. A neck lift is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing loose or wrinkled skin, a “turkey wattle” appearance, or prominent neck bands. The result is a more youthful, contoured neck that enhances the harmony of the face and restores confidence.

Neck Lift Techniques and Procedure Details

A neck lift is a highly effective procedure designed to restore a youthful and refined neck contour. The techniques, incision placement, and goals of a neck lift closely mirror those of a facelift, targeting the lower portion of the face and neck for a comprehensive rejuvenation.

Key Aspects of a Neck Lift Procedure:

Incisions are typically made around and behind the ear, with a small incision sometimes placed below the chin if excess fat or muscle bands are present.

The procedure focuses on removing excess skin and fatty tissue from the neck and lower face to create a smoother, tighter contour.

In some cases, vertical muscle bands are corrected, improving the appearance of a “double chin” and restoring a defined jawline and neck contour.

If a small incision below the chin is unsuitable, liposuction may be used to remove excess fat before contouring the neck skin.

Our skilled surgeons tailor the procedure to each patient’s needs, ensuring the best possible results based on their anatomy and desired outcome.

A neck lift offers lasting, dramatic results, enhancing your profile and restoring a more youthful appearance, whether combined with a facelift or performed as a standalone procedure.
