Neck Lift

A neck lift can help restore a smoother, more defined neck and jawline. While often performed as part of a facelift, it can also be done as a standalone procedure for patients who want to focus specifically on the neck area. Common concerns addressed by a neck lift include loss of jawline definition, excess fatty tissue under the chin, loose neck skin, and a poorly defined transition between the neck and chin.

Where Are the Incisions?

Surgical incisions are carefully placed to be as discreet as possible. They are typically located under the chin, behind the ears, and along the hairline, with potential extension to the front of the ear. This strategic placement helps minimize visible scarring while allowing effective access for tissue tightening and contouring.

Neck Lift or Facelift?

Some individuals may benefit from a neck lift alone, particularly if aging changes are limited to the neck and jawline. However, a neck lift is often performed in combination with a facelift for more comprehensive rejuvenation. When combined, both the lower face and neck can be addressed together, resulting in a balanced, youthful contour.

Recovery

• Most patients can return to non-strenuous activities in 1–2 weeks
• Swelling and bruising gradually subside over the first few weeks
• Final results become more visible as tissues settle
• Scars typically fade and become less noticeable over time
