The neck is one of the first areas to show signs of aging, often creating concerns like sagging skin, excess fat, or visible muscle bands. At Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL, our neck lift procedure offers a solution for patients seeking a smoother, more defined profile.
What Is a Neck Lift?
A neck lift is a transformative surgical procedure to improve the appearance of the neck and jawline. This procedure addresses a range of common aesthetic concerns that can develop due to aging, genetics, or weight fluctuations.
Loose, sagging skin—often referred to as a "turkey neck"—is one of the most frequent issues a neck lift can resolve, restoring a smoother and firmer contour to the neck. In addition, the procedure targets excess fat deposits under the chin and along the jawline, which can contribute to a heavier or less defined profile.
For patients with visible vertical neck bands caused by muscle laxity, a neck lift can also tighten and reposition these muscles to create a more youthful and refined appearance.
A neck lift delivers dramatic improvements while preserving a natural and harmonious look by combining techniques to tighten the skin, remove excess fat, and adjust underlying muscles. This procedure enhances the neck and jawline and contributes to overall facial balance, helping patients feel more confident and rejuvenated.
