A neck lift, performed by our board-certified plastic surgeons at Evolve Plastic Surgery, is a transformative procedure that targets sagging skin, excess fat, and muscle banding in the neck area. It effectively treats conditions such as turkey neck, double chin, jowls, and loose skin, restoring a youthful and defined neck contour for a refreshed appearance.
Achieve an Elegant,
Refined Neck Profile
A neck lift, also known as a lower rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that enhances the appearance of the neck by removing excess skin and fat and tightening underlying muscles. This procedure is ideal for individuals experiencing sagging skin, muscle banding, or fat deposits that create an aged or tired look. Our board-certified plastic surgeons use advanced techniques to provide natural-looking results and restore a smooth and youthful neck contour.
During a neck lift, the incisions are typically made behind the ears and sometimes under the chin, allowing the surgeon to access and reshape the neck tissues. The procedure can be customized to address specific concerns such as turkey neck, double chin, and jowls. Our surgical team customizes each neck lift to address your unique concerns and aesthetic goals.
Neck Lift Treats:
- Sagging skin on the neck
- Excess fat deposits under the chin (double chin)
- Loose neck muscles causing banding
- Turkey neck (excess skin and muscle laxity)
- Jowls and loss of jawline definition
- Wrinkles and fine lines on the neck

Your Neck Lift Journey:
Before, During, and After
Before Neck Lift
Before your neck lift, you’ll have a detailed consultation with our board-certified plastic surgeons at Evolve Plastic Surgery. During this consultation, your surgeon will assess your neck and discuss your aesthetic goals. You’ll receive personalized preparation guidelines, such as avoiding certain medications, stopping smoking, and arranging for post-surgery care. It’s crucial to follow these guidelines closely to ensure a smooth procedure and optimal recovery. Our team will also answer any questions you have and ensure you feel confident about your surgery.
During Neck Lift
During your neck lift, our board-certified plastic surgeons will begin by administering anesthesia to ensure your comfort. They will then make small incisions, typically around the ears and under the chin, to access and tighten the underlying neck muscles. Excess skin and fat will be removed, and the remaining skin will be carefully redraped for a smooth, youthful appearance. The incisions will then be closed to minimize scarring. The entire procedure typically takes a few hours, after which you’ll be monitored before heading home.
After Neck Lift
After your neck lift, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort. Our surgical team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to help manage these symptoms and promote healing. You’ll need to keep your head elevated and avoid strenuous activities for a few weeks. Most patients can return to work and regular activities within 2-3 weeks. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your recovery and ensure optimal results. By adhering to these guidelines, you’ll achieve a smoother, more youthful neck contour.
Benefits of Neck Lift:
- Restores a youthful neck contour
- Enhances jawline definition
- Eliminates excess fat under the chin
- Improves overall facial harmony
- Provides long-lasting results
- Boosts self-confidence and appearance
Neck Lift FAQs
How Long Do the Results of a Neck Lift Last?
The results of a neck lift can last for many years, often a decade or more. However, the natural aging process will continue, and some sagging and looseness may reoccur. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including proper skincare and regular exercise, can help prolong the results.
Will There Be Visible Scars After a Neck Lift?
Our board-certified plastic surgeons at Evolve Plastic Surgery take great care to place incisions in discreet locations, such as around the ears and under the chin. While some scarring is inevitable, it typically fades over time and becomes less noticeable.
How Should I Prepare for a Neck Lift?
To prepare for a neck lift, you should follow your surgeon’s specific guidelines, which may include stopping smoking, avoiding certain medications and supplements that can increase bleeding, and arranging for someone to drive you home after the surgery. Your surgeon will provide a comprehensive list of pre-operative instructions during your consultation.
Can a Neck Lift Be Combined With Other Procedures?
Yes, a neck lift can be combined with other procedures, such as a facelift, brow lift, or eyelid surgery, to achieve more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. During your consultation, your surgeon will discuss the best approach to meeting your aesthetic goals.
