What is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift, also known as neck contouring, is a highly effective surgical procedure aimed at rejuvenating and enhancing the neck’s appearance. As the neck is a common area where signs of aging become noticeable, it often develops issues like sagging skin, excess fat, and the formation of neck bands.

These concerns are addressed through a neck lift by removing excess skin, tightening the underlying muscles, and eliminating stubborn fat deposits. The result is a firmer, smoother, and more youthful neck contour that enhances your overall facial profile, providing a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.

Is a Neck Lift right for me?

A neck lift may be ideal for individuals who wish to address specific signs of aging and aesthetic concerns in the neck and jawline. The typical patient for a neck lift has visible signs of aging, such as sagging or loose neck skin, fatty deposits, prominent neck bands, or a “turkey wattle” appearance.

These individuals seek enhanced facial harmony and a well-defined neck and jawline for a youthful, refreshed look. Ideal candidates are in good general health, with realistic expectations about the procedure and its outcomes.

For those considering neck lift surgery in Atlanta, the first step is to schedule a consultation with Muse Plastic Surgery. During this personalized consultation, we will thoroughly assess your neck area, discuss your goals, and develop a treatment plan tailored to achieve your desired results.

The neck lift procedure What to expect

Neck lifts are typically performed outpatient and carried out under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation. The surgical techniques employed during the procedure may include liposuction to remove excess fatty tissue, Platysmaplasty to tighten the neck's musculature and minimize the appearance of unwanted band lines, and Cervicoplasty to address loose or hanging skin in the neck region.

Our expert team will decide which technique or combination of strategies best suits your desired outcome after evaluating your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals. Although exact time frames can vary depending on the specifics of your procedure and any complementary treatments, most neck lifts take a few hours to complete.

Neck lift recovery

After your neck lift procedure, you can expect a period of downtime to allow for healing. Typically, patients can expect about one to two weeks of rest following a neck lift procedure.

During this time, you may experience swelling and bruising, and these side effects may take a few days to subside.

However, it's important to note that the duration of downtime may vary depending on the individual and the extent of the surgery. Swelling and bruising may be present, but these should gradually subside over the next few days. It's common to experience discomfort, which you can manage with prescribed pain medications. Our team will provide specific post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.

Most patients can return to light activities within a week, but it may take a bit longer for more strenuous activities. Attending follow-up appointments is essential to monitor your progress and address any concerns. As the weeks pass, you'll notice the initial results, with continued improvement in the neck region over the coming months, leaving you with a more youthful, sculpted appearance.

Neck Lift FAQs

Can a neck lift address sagging on the sides of my neck, or is it primarily under the chin?

Is there a “right age” for a neck lift, or does it depend on other factors?

How can I maximize the longevity of my neck lift results?

Can a neck lift address sagging on the sides of my neck, or is it primarily under the chin?

A neck lift typically targets the entire neck area, including under the chin and along the sides. If sagging is primarily along the sides, your surgeon will focus on lifting and tightening these areas for a well-rounded result.

Is there a “right age” for a neck lift, or does it depend on other factors?

There’s no set age for a neck lift; it’s more about the extent of skin laxity, muscle tone, and fat deposits in the neck area. Some patients seek a neck lift in their 40s, while others may wait until their 50s or 60s, depending on their aging process and cosmetic goals.

How can I maximize the longevity of my neck lift results?

Maintaining a stable weight, following a diligent skincare routine, and protecting your skin from sun exposure are key to prolonging your results. Non-surgical treatments like laser therapy or ultrasound skin tightening can also be used for touch-ups.
