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 was involved in a car accident(rear ended at a red light), and it caused my left implant to rupture. Prior to the accident, I wasn’t planning on having to have surgery since all was well.However, after the accident, I had pain and felt I looked disfigured in a way. I was quite scared and nervous, but then I found Dr. Watts practice.The consultation made me feel at ease, and I felt confident Dr. Watt could fix me. I booked my appointment, and the entire process was so smooth and comforting.The entire office staff, my anesthesiologist, nurses, and Dr. Watt made me look like I did before the accident. I highly recommend Dr. Watt and his fantastic staff. Thank you all for helping me!! Beautiful work, he deserves more than 5 stars.

The process at Dr. Watts office is so streamlined and simple, it almost felt too easy. My consultation and pre-op appointment were very quick and I was slightly nervous because I didn't spend much time with Dr.Watt prior to the surgery. All that said, I could not be happier with my results. Dr.Watt came highly recommended and he did a PHENOMENAL job. My pain was almost non-existent and I have a very low pain tolerance. Do not look any further if you want natural looking results and a highly skilled team. Dr.Watt is the best in Tampa - look no further!PS after surgery they provided discounted laser treatments for scars - really great pricing!Great value, great results, great quality!

Dr. G, Kasey, and the rest of the team are all amazing! I chose Dr. G because I’d heard that all of her patients love their results and that’s she’s incredibly meticulous. the whole team made me feel really comfortable and confident about the procedure and Dr. G helped me narrow down what I wanted and what would work for my build. I’m about 4 months out from my surgery and I’ve never felt better about my body. It feels like a weight has been lifted off of me to not be insecure about my breasts anymore. Now they’re exactly what I always wanted, and I still feel like myself because they’re so natural looking!! And my scars are basically nonexistent. I wouldn’t go anywhere else! Thanks to the whole team!

I had my first surgery with Dr. Girardot in February after massive weight loss. I had a reduction and lift and she far exceeded my expectations! Not only did she deliver breathtaking results but her care and compassion both before and after surgery was unmatched. She is so kind and really cares about you as a patient. I have a 2nd procedure in May with her and cant wait! I also get filler and botox with Jess and she is absolutely amazing. I love the entire Watt Plastic Surgery team and wouldn't go anywhere else for my aesthetics/surgeries!

Well…. I don’t even know where to begin. This by far has been the best experience with Dr. Watts office and staff. I had my own personal experience and ended up developing some blood after my breast augmentation and when I tell you the staff acted very quick and I was back in surgery just 2 days later and everything was taken care of. I look forward to my full healing/recovery process. If anyone is looking for a Dr. for any type of breast augmentation, mommy make-over, or plastic surgery in general, I recommend coming to Dr. Watt Plastic surgery for beautiful work. Dr. Watt is the artist of plastic surgery.Thank you Dr. Watt to you and your staff for such an amazing experience so far.

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.
