Overview - What is a Neck Lift?
A neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that improves visible signs of aging in the jawline and neck.
What Neck Lift surgery can treat.
- Excess fat and skin relaxation in the lower face that creates jowls.
- Excess fatty deposits under the chin.
- Loose neck skin.
- Muscle banding in the neck, which creates abnormal contours.
The loss of youthful contours in the face and neck can be due to a variety of factors, including heredity, gravity, environmental conditions and stress.
Some people feel they are not ready for a full Facelift because the upper face is still pleasing. However, many patients will note excess wrinkling of the neck skin, a double chin or “turkey wattle” and jowl lines.
When the neck area doesn’t match the upper facial appearance, a Neck Lift may be a good solution.

Neck Lift procedure steps
A Neck Lift procedure includes the following steps:
Medications are administered for your comfort during the surgical procedure. The choices include intravenous sedation and general anesthesia. Your doctor will recommend the best choice for you.
Depending on the degree of change you’d like to see, your neck lift choices include a traditional neck lift incision or a limited incision neck lift.
A traditional neck lift incision often begins in the hairline at the level of the sideburn, continues down and around the ear and ends in the posterior hair. Fat may be sculpted or redistributed from the jowls and neck. The tissue underlying the neck skin is repositioned, and commonly the platysma muscle is tightened. Skin is redraped over the uplifted contours and excess skin is trimmed away. A separate incision under the chin is often necessary for liposuction of this area and for repair of the muscle. Sutures or skin adhesives close the incisions.
A limited incision neck lift may involve incisions only around the ear. While the incisions are shorter, the results may be more limited.
Incision lines are closed with sutures and perhaps skin glue. Sutures may be dissolving, or may need to be removed after a few days. Once healed, the incision lines from a neck lift are usually well concealed within the hairline and in the natural contours of the ear.
The visible improvements of a neck lift appear as swelling and bruising subside. Your final neck lift result should not only restore a more youthful and rested appearance, but also help you feel more confident about yourself.
Neck Lift Recovery
During your recovery from neck lift surgery, a bandage could gently be placed around your face and neck to minimize swelling and bruising when your procedure is completed.
A thin tube may be present to drain any excess blood or fluid that may collect under the skin.
You will be given specific instructions that may include how to care for the surgical site and drains, medications to apply or take orally to aid healing and reduce the potential for infection, specific concerns to look for at the surgical site or in your general health and when to follow up with your plastic surgeon.
Be sure to ask your neck lift surgeon specific questions about what you can expect during your individual recovery period:
- Where will I be taken after my surgery is complete?
- What medication will I be given or prescribed after surgery?
- Will I have dressings/bandages after surgery?
- When will they be removed?
- Are stitches removed? When?
- When is it safe for me to drive?
- When can I resume normal activity and exercise?
- When do I return for follow-up care?

What is a Neck Lift?
A neck lift is a cosmetic procedure designed to help a person enhance the appearance of the neck, jawline and throat-area. It creates a smoother, more elegant neckline. In addition, a neck lift can help a person eliminate fat deposits and tighten the skin on the neck.
Can I combine cosmetic Neck Lift with other facial surgery?
Yes, it’s generally preferred to combine procedures. Secondly, tissue modified from one area may be used for another surgical area. Procedures commonly combined with neck lift surgery include the following:
- Facelift
- Fat Transfer
When can I resume regular exercise after Neck Lift surgery?
Strenuous activities or exercise after plastic surgery will increase the risk of bleeding, swelling, and bruising, until an appropriate amount of healing time has been allowed. This restriction during the recovery period varies based on the operation performed and patient’s medical condition. Light activities, such as slow walking, may be performed after 2 weeks. Heavy activity, such as aerobics, yoga, cycling, running, heavy lifting, or similar vigorous activities are allowed after 2 months.
How long is the Neck Lift procedure?
Surgical Neck Lifts vary depending on the specific needs of the patient and surgery. Neck liposuction or chin augmentation normally take less than an hour, while traditional full Face and Neck Lifts may take 4 - 5 hours of precision surgery.
Will smoking affect my recovery after Neck Lift surgery?
Smoking adversely affects your recovery. One may develop pneumonia, and treated areas don’t heal as well or may become infected. Patients must stop smoking for a minimum of 2 weeks prior to surgery to decrease the risk of these complications, and continue to avoid smoking after the procedure.
