Neck Lift

What is a Neck Lift?

The neck is one of the first areas to show aging, which can make many men look older than they feel. Significant weight loss can also result in excess, sagging neck skin. A neck lift tightens the skin and underlying muscles of the neck, as well as improves the contour of the jawline, so you can feel confident in your appearance.

Who is a Good Candidate?

Men who are looking to achieve a sleeker neck with a more chiseled jawline, feel that their neck is too fat, or wish to remove excess skin and wrinkles from their neck can often benefit from a neck lift facial procedure. The best candidates will be healthy, nonsmokers. We can address any questions or concerns that you may have about the procedure during your consultation.

The Procedure

During a neck lift, liposuction will be used to remove areas of fat from neck, jowls, and chin to create a more defined jawline. Muscles in the neck, including the platysma muscle, will be tightened, creating a slimmer neck profile. Any incisions will be placed inconspicuously at the hairline, behind the ear, and at the base of the skull.

Recovery

After undergoing neck lift surgery, you may experience bruising and a feeling of tightness in your neck. Bruising will resolve within a week, but the feeling of tightness may last for several months. Overall, recovery time will vary based on the extensiveness of your neck lift procedure. It is important to follow our specific post-op instructions to ensure a quick recovery.
