About Neck Lift

A neck lift is a commonly administered cosmetic treatment in the United States. Also called a lower rhytidectomy, this procedure can address multiple signs of aging in the neck and jawline. For people with jowl lines, a double chin, or a “turkey wattle,” a neck lift can be a long-lasting cosmetic solution.

What Are The Benefits Of A Neck Lift?

A neck lift offers a number of benefits for patients looking to restore a more youthful and refined contour to the neck and jawline. These include:

  • Eliminating loose, sagging skin: The procedure removes excess skin that can accumulate due to aging, gravity, or weight loss.
  • Reducing wrinkles and neck bands: A neck lift can significantly smooth out horizontal neck wrinkles and vertical platysmal bands, which often become more prominent with age.
  • Defining the jawline: The procedure helps to sculpt and redefine the jawline, creating a clearer separation between the face and neck, and reducing the appearance of jowls.
  • Minimizing a double chin: Fat removal and redistribution can reduce submental fullness, commonly known as a double chin, leading to a more streamlined profile.
  • Long-lasting results: While individual results vary, the effects of a neck lift are typically long-lasting, providing years of aesthetic improvement.

Patients contemplating neck lift surgery tend to deal with visibly loose, hanging skin in the neck region. This loose skin deformity is generally caused by ranging factors including gravity, weight fluctuations, and aging. Whatever the reason may be, sagging neck skin causes an older, unbecoming look, which in most cases can only be corrected with skin removal and tightening. If your weight is stable but you feel embarrassed by lines, wrinkles, and hanging skin along the neck, a neck lift surgery may be a suitable option.

I had my breast augmentation and lift with Dr. Girardot on June 8th, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience! From my very first consultation to my post-op appointments, Dr. Girardot made me feel comfortable, confident, and completely at ease. She took the time to answer all of my questions and made the entire process feel so much less stressful.Her entire team is absolutely amazing everyone is kind, welcoming, professional, and genuinely cares about their patients. I always felt supported every step of the way.I am so grateful I chose Dr. Girardot. If I ever decide to have another procedure in the future, there is no question where I’ll be going. I highly recommend Dr. Girardot and her incredible team to anyone considering plastic surgery. Thank you all for making this such a wonderful experience!

I’m five months post-op and could not be happier with my results! I had a breast lift with implant exchange using Dr. Watt’s internal bra technique, and choosing him was truly the best decision.I had my previous implants for 11 years and wanted them replaced, but my goal was to keep the same size — just lifted, refreshed, and very natural-looking. Dr. Watt listened to exactly what I wanted and absolutely nailed it.The entire process takes patience, and you really do have to trust the process. It took almost five months to see my final results and how everything settled, but they turned out perfect. They are exactly what I hoped for, and I couldn’t be happier. I’m so thankful I chose Dr. Watt!

I cannot recommend Dr.Watt highly enough! From the very beginning, he was personable, professional, and genuinely invested in making sure I felt comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. The day before my breast augmentation and lift, he personally called me to answer any last-minute questions and make sure I didn't have any concerns, which meant so much and really helped put me at ease.The results exceeded my expectations—they came out absolutely perfect. His attention to detail and expertise are evident in his work. I also want to recognize his incredible staff, who worked extremely hard to fit me into a very tight scheduling window. Their dedication, responsiveness, and support made the entire experience seamless.I am beyond happy with my results and grateful for the exceptional care I received from both the surgeon and his team.

What does a Neck Lift involve?

Neck lifts start with an incision at the hairline (sideburn position), and continue around the ear to the back of the head below the hairline. We lift the tissue below the neck skin and tighten some neck muscles. The fat in this area will also be sculpted or redistributed.

Once the tissue at the neck and jawline are lifted and sculpted, we place the skin back over the treatment area. Our plastic surgeons will remove any excess skin, and the incision will be closed with sutures.

What are the results of a Neck Lift?

An individual may opt for a neck lift because, while their face is still lifted and smooth, the skin on their neck appears wrinkled or loose. In this scenario, a neck lift will give the patient a rejuvenated appearance without needing a full facelift. This can also be performed with a facelift if signs of aging appear on the face and the neck.

A neck lift will result in:

  • Reduced wrinkles and folds
  • Less excess skin in the neck
  • Tightened neck muscles
  • A more defined chin and jawline

The results are long-lasting. As bruising and swelling from the procedure fade, you’ll see remarkable improvements to the appearance of the neck. Just be sure to protect your neck from the sun as the treatment area heals, and avoid putting pressure on the sutures. Contact us today at Watt Plastic Surgery & Med Spa to learn more and how it could benefit you.

How much does a neck lift cost?

The cost of your neck surgery can be reviewed in your consultation. We can estimate prices for the facility, anesthesia, and miscellaneous fees as soon as we have developed your surgical plan. To help make your neck surgery easy to afford, Watt Plastic Surgery & Med Spa takes many payment methods, and we can give you information on low-interest financing.

What about nonsurgical options?

Surgery is the only way to eliminate excess skin, particularly if it droops or hangs. However, several nonsurgical skin tightening treatments may produce mild improvements. Neck lift surgery offers the most significant enhancements to smooth and redefine your neckline. A new and popular treatment called KYBELLA reduces fat in the upper neck, which gives the appearance of a double chin; however, it does not correct loose skin.

Will I have visible scars?

A neck lift does include one incision below the chin and two more near the ears. These are made so they are very difficult for others to see. Our surgeons try very hard during your surgery to limit visible scarring. A team member will explain scar care instructions that encourage your incisions to heal properly so they are thin and flat.
