Neck Lift

Neck Lift

The neck is one of the first areas to show visible signs of aging due to its thin and delicate skin. Over time, sagging skin, muscle laxity, and fatty deposits in the neck and jawline can contribute to the appearance of a "turkey neck," double chin, or jowls. These changes can make you look older or heavier than you are.

Neck lift surgery performed by Palm Beach cosmetic surgeon Dr. Michael Sistare addresses these concerns by removing excess skin and fatty tissue while tightening the muscles for a smoother, more youthful contour. Our office offers easy financing options and affordable pricing to put your new look within reach. Contact us to schedule a consultation today.

Am I a Candidate for Neck Lift Surgery?

You may be a good candidate for a neck lift if you:

  • Are in good physical and mental health.
  • Feel self-conscious about sagging skin, jowls, or a double chin.
  • Have visible platysma (neck) bands or loose skin in the neck area.

Many patients choose to combine a neck lift with a facelift for a more comprehensive rejuvenation. For those whose main concern is excess fat in the neck, neck liposuction alone may be sufficient to improve contours without the need for a full neck lift.

More about Neck Lifts

A neck lift can dramatically improve the contours of your neck and jawline, creating a slimmer, more youthful appearance. Whether performed alone or combined with a facelift, the procedure rejuvenates your profile and restores your confidence. A neck lift can address several cosmetic concerns:

  • Tightens sagging skin for a smoother appearance.
  • Reduces the appearance of a double chin or "turkey neck."
  • Eliminates excess fat deposits in the neck and jawline area.
  • Reduces visible platysma bands for a more youthful contour.
  • Restores a defined and slimmer neck profile.

By addressing these issues, a neck lift helps you achieve a balanced, refreshed look, making the neck and jawline appear firmer and more youthful.

Neck lift surgery is considered safe, but like any surgical procedure, it carries some risks, including:

  • Temporary fluid buildup (hematoma).
  • Poor wound healing or scarring.
  • Rare complications like changes in sensation or irregular contours.

Dr. Sistare takes every precaution to minimize these risks and will discuss all potential complications with you during your consultation.

What to Expect During and After Your Neck Lift

Dr. Sistare begins with a detailed consultation and physical evaluation to determine the best approach for your unique anatomy and goals. He’ll help you decide whether you would benefit more from neck liposuction alone or a full neck lift.

Surgical Procedure

  • Incisions: Incisions are typically made behind the ears and along the hairline, and sometimes beneath the chin. These are designed to be discreet and well-hidden after healing.
  • Muscle Tightening: Dr. Sistare tightens the platysma bands (neck muscles) to smooth the neck contours.
  • Fat Removal: Excess fat is removed, often with liposuction, to eliminate jowls or a double chin.
  • Skin Redraping: Loose skin is trimmed and redraped for a firmer, smoother neck profile.

For those having neck liposuction alone, incisions are smaller and placed under the chin or near the ears, and sutures may not be required.

Recovery Process

  • Dr. Sistare may recommend a supportive chin strap or elastic neck sling to help the skin conform to its new contours.
  • Bruising and swelling are common during the first 2 weeks but should subside gradually. To reduce swelling, avoid ice packs and keep your head elevated during the first few days after surgery.
  • Most patients return to work within 7 to 10 days, depending on the extent of the procedure.
  • Final results become more noticeable between 1 to 3 months, once residual swelling has fully dissipated.

Your Neck Lift Results

  • Smoother, firmer neck contours.
  • Reduced sagging and jowls.
  • A more defined jawline that enhances your overall facial harmony.

Neck Lift Surgery FAQs

Look for a top cosmetic surgeon with extensive experience in facial rejuvenation. Dr. Sistare’s reputation for delivering natural-looking results makes him a top choice in South Florida.
Yes! A neck lift addresses sagging skin, platysma banding, and excess fat. For isolated fat deposits, neck liposuction may be sufficient.
Yes, a mini neck lift is a less invasive procedure ideal for mild sagging or early signs of aging. It requires smaller incisions and typically involves a shorter recovery period. Not many people are good candidates for this abbreviated procedure, so talk with Dr. Sistare in more detail to see if it’s a good choice for you.
Most patients take about 7 to 10 days off work and gradually resume light activities over the following weeks. Full recovery and final results are typically seen within 3 to 6 months.
Neck lift results can last 10 to 15 years, depending on factors like age, skin quality, and lifestyle habits. Protect your results by wearing sunscreen, maintaining a healthy diet, and avoiding prolonged sun exposure.
