Neck Lift Before & Afters
A Defined and Youthful Neckline
What is a neck lift?
A neck lift, also known as a lower rhytidectomy, combats the visible signs of aging in the neck and jawline. This procedure addresses sagging muscles and loose skin to create a smoother, more youthful contour. This procedure is often performed in conjunction with a facelift, for optimal results. At The Practice Plastic Surgery, we understand the desire for natural-looking rejuvenation. Our board-certified surgeons utilize advanced techniques to deliver:
- Natural Results: Techniques prioritize complementing your unique facial features, avoiding an artificial appearance.
- Faster Recovery: Minimally invasive options, when suitable, promote a smoother healing experience.
- Personalized Approach: We tailor the neck lift to your specific concerns and desired outcomes.
Tailored Techniques for Optimal Results
During a pre-surgical consultation, your surgeon will discuss your desired outcome and recommend the optimal technique:
- Traditional Neck Lift: This comprehensive approach addresses significant laxity and concerns like jowls and a double chin. Incisions are strategically placed behind the hairline and around the ears, allowing for muscle tightening, fat sculpting, and tissue removal. In some cases, a separate chin incision is used for muscle repair and liposuction.
- Limited-Incision Neck Lift: Ideal for patients with mild to moderate concerns, this technique utilizes smaller incisions around the ears. While the results are subtler, this approach offers a faster recovery time with minimal scarring.
Your Comfort is Our Priority
Our dedicated team will guide you through every step of the process, from pre-surgical preparation to post-operative care. We prioritize your comfort and ensure you have all the information you need to make informed decisions about your neck lift journey.

Smoothing Your Recovery Journey
Neck Lift Recovery
Following your neck lift procedure at The Practice Plastic Surgery, our team will prioritize your comfort and ensure a smooth recovery. Here's a general overview of what to expect:
- Initial Care: Your incisions will be dressed with a comfortable bandage to minimize swelling and promote optimal healing. Drainage tubes may be placed temporarily to remove excess fluids.
- Pain Management: Some discomfort is common in the first few days. Our team will provide you with pain medication and instructions for managing any discomfort effectively.
- Downtime and Recovery: Plan for one week of dedicated rest and recovery to allow your body to heal.
- Follow-up Care: A follow-up appointment will be scheduled approximately one month after surgery. During this visit, your surgeon will assess your healing progress and address any questions you may have.
Enjoying Your Results
Neck Lift Results
Neck lift surgery offers long-lasting results that can significantly enhance your appearance for years to come. While the aging process cannot be stopped entirely, a well-performed neck lift can:
- Restore a Defined Neckline: You can enjoy a smoother, more sculpted neck and jawline for an extended period.
- Turn Back the Clock: The visible signs of aging in your neck area will be significantly diminished, creating a more youthful look.
- Improved Self-Confidence: The long-lasting results of a neck lift can contribute to a renewed sense of confidence and self-esteem.
Realistic Expectations:
It's important to remember that everyone ages differently. While some patients may enjoy the benefits of a neck lift for up to 15 years, others may experience slight changes earlier depending on factors like genetics and sun exposure.
Maintaining Your Results:
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and a consistent skincare routine can help you maximize the longevity of your neck lift results. Our team can provide personalized recommendations to help you achieve optimal results and long-lasting rejuvenation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Neck lift incisions are strategically placed to minimize their visibility. Your surgeon will make discreet cuts behind your hairline at the temple and around the earlobes, strategically placing them within natural skin creases. This allows the scars to blend in seamlessly with your existing contours. While some scarring is inevitable with any surgery, the strategic placement and meticulous closure techniques using specialized sutures minimize scar formation and promote optimal healing. Scars will naturally improve in appearance over several months with proper care, including wound cleaning and silicone gel application.
A neck lift can be a powerful tool for a more youthful appearance, but some patients may desire even more comprehensive rejuvenation. At The Practice Plastic Surgery, we understand that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work. We offer the option of combining your neck lift with other procedures to create a customized treatment plan that addresses your specific concerns and aesthetic goals. This might include non-surgical injectables like Botox and dermal fillers to target wrinkles and add volume in specific areas or other facial plastic surgery procedures like a facelift, brow lift, or eyelid lift for a more transformative experience.
As with any surgery, neck lifts carry some inherent risks. These will be thoroughly discussed during your consultation with our board-certified surgeon. We prioritize your safety and will ensure you understand the potential risks and complications before moving forward.
Most patients require about one week of dedicated downtime for recovery after a neck lift. This allows your body to heal and for swelling and bruising to subside. During your consultation, we will discuss your specific needs and provide guidance on recovery expectations.
For some patients, minimally invasive options like CO2 laser, Botox, and dermal fillers may be sufficient to address concerns about loose skin or wrinkles in the neck area. During your consultation, we will discuss all available options and recommend the most suitable approach to achieve your goals.
