What Is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the lower jaw and neck. The procedure removes loose skin, extra fat, and muscle bands that cause jowling, a “turkey neck,” or double chin. Neck lifts vary in complexity, including mini neck lifts, traditional neck lifts, and deep plane neck lifts.

The procedure involves making small cuts behind the ears and under the chin to tighten the tissue and remove excess skin and fat, resulting in a firmer, younger, and sharper shape. Neck lift surgery is often paired with other procedures to achieve comprehensive, synergistic results.

Combining My Neck Lift with Other Procedures

During the initial consultation, Dr. Soto may discuss whether the patient would also benefit from another procedure, such as a facelift or liposuction. These additional procedures are often combined to achieve the patient’s desired contours and aesthetic goals.

A facelift is a surgical procedure that tightens the skin and deep tissue of the face to treat sagging and wrinkles, resulting in a more vibrant, youthful appearance. When you “stack” a neck lift and facelift, you can achieve a smoother, more balanced look from the jawline down to the neck.

What to Expect on the Day of a Neck Lift Surgery

Dr. Soto performs neck lifts with the patient under general anesthesia as outpatient surgery at an accredited surgical clinic. The surgery usually takes about 2 hours, though it may vary depending on the case.

A neck lift removes hanging skin and reshapes the neck. During the procedure, an incision is placed under the chin and/or behind or in front of the ears. If fat deposits are present and need to be removed, liposuction will be used during the surgery and performed first. The final steps of treatment include trimming away excess skin, tightening the remaining underlying tissue and muscle, and suturing the incision.

Neck Lift Recovery

Your Guide to Post-Neck Lift Care

Bruising and swelling will be visible after surgery, but they will subside within a few days after the procedure. Initially, patients will feel tightness and numbness. Once the neck adjusts to its new position, patients will notice a more relaxed feeling and a beautiful surgical result. It can take up to 6 months for the final results to appear.

Some helpful tips to ensure you have a smooth recovery after your neck lift in Orlando include:

  • Take the prescription pain medication
  • Keep your head elevated and sleep on your back
  • Wear compression garments when appropriate
  • Limit neck movement and avoid strenuous exercise for several weeks
  • Go on light walks to maintain healthy blood flow and prevent blood clots
