About the Neck Lift Procedure

Through neck lift surgery, we help patients get rid of the unappealing “turkey neck” and create a smooth, contoured neck and jaw. In most cases, we place the incisions behind the ears or under the surface of the chin. We may use liposuction to remove excess fat and tighten the skin. Most of the time, a neck lift is performed in conjunction with a facelift.

What is the Average Age for a Neck Lift?

Individuals in their 20s and 30s may benefit from a neck lift, especially those who have experienced a massive weight loss or have a hereditary defect of the neck. Patients in their 60s and 70s often undergo a neck lift to cosmetically treat the visible signs of aging.

Neck Lift or Chin Augmentation?

Some patients have issues with their neck that are actually be the result of a “weak” chin. Without the proper support of the chin bone, the neck isn’t able to have a defined contour.

A chin implant (genioplasty or mentoplasty) may be recommended to re-shape the chin and make it wider or more prominent. This can have a great impact on the neck for many patients. This surgery is considered a reconstructive procedure and requires the skill of an experienced surgeon. Please note that a neck lift may still be needed once the chin has been corrected.

Neck Lift Surgical Techniques

Our neck lift in Jacksonville is considered an outpatient procedure and is performed under general anesthesia at an accredited surgical facility. This surgery typically takes two hours to complete, but that will vary by surgical case.

A neck lift can address several issues, including removing excess fat, trimming hanging skin, and tightening loose skin around the underlying neck muscles.

An incision is made under the chin and, in some cases, behind or in front of the ears. If fat removal is part of this surgery, liposuction will be the first step. Next, the neck muscles (platysma) are pulled tight, and the overlying skin is stretched and re-draped to achieve the desired definition. Sutures are placed deep within the neck wall, and a drain may be inserted to control bleeding.

What is Recovery Like After a Neck Lift?

After surgery, there will be some bruising and swelling. Patients will feel tightness and a pulling sensation as the neck adjusts to its new position. Most patients can return to work within 10-14 days. It can take several months for optimal results to appear and for the neck to look and feel natural.

Neck Lift FAQ

Will I have scars after a neck lift?

Can lifestyle factors affect the outcome of my neck lift?

How can I prepare for my neck lift surgery?

Can a neck lift be performed on patients with previous neck surgeries?

Is a non-surgical neck lift available?

Loose skin within the neck is a distinct flaw that can only be removed through surgery. Unfortunately, this is the only true way to redefine a person’s neck and add the necessary definition needed to improve the contour and profile.

Will I have scars after a neck lift?

A neck lift does require an incision under the chin and near the ears. However, these are placed inconspicuously (within the hairline on the ears and under the chin) so looking straight ahead, you will not see them. We make every effort during surgery to minimize visible scarring as much as possible.

Can lifestyle factors affect the outcome of my neck lift?

Yes, lifestyle factors such as smoking, sun exposure, and nutrition can impact the healing process and overall results of a neck lift. Smoking can impair circulation and delay healing, while excessive sun exposure can lead to skin damage that compromises the results. Maintaining a healthy diet and avoiding harmful habits can enhance recovery and help preserve the longevity of your results.

How can I prepare for my neck lift surgery?

To prepare for your neck lift, start with a thorough consultation with your surgeon to discuss your goals and medical history. Follow pre-operative instructions, which may include avoiding blood thinners, alcohol, and smoking. Arrange for assistance during your recovery, and create a comfortable resting area stocked with essentials. Lastly, maintain a healthy diet and stay hydrated in the weeks leading up to the surgery to support healing.

Can a neck lift be performed on patients with previous neck surgeries?

Yes, patients with prior neck surgeries can still be candidates for a neck lift. However, it's crucial to discuss your surgical history with your surgeon during the consultation. They will evaluate your neck anatomy and any potential complications that could arise from performing the procedure on previously operated areas.
