A surgical neck lift, also known as a lower rhytidectomy or platysmaplasty, is a targeted cosmetic surgery procedure designed to refine the appearance of the neck and jawline. This procedure addresses the common signs of aging that typically develop in this area, often more noticeably than in the rest of the face. Its overall purpose is to create a smoother, firmer, and more elegant neck contour by removing excess skin and lifting and tightening underlying structures.
Depending on your specific concerns, a neck lift may involve removing unwanted fat deposits (liposuction), tightening the platysma muscles that cause vertical "bands," and excising loose, sagging skin. At Face N Body, our facial plastic surgery specialists meticulously tailor the technique to achieve a refreshed, natural outcome that beautifully frames your face and restores a youthful silhouette.
For patients seeking a more extensive transformation, our Deep Plane Neck Lift offers an advanced technique that combines platysmaplasty with meticulous sculpting of the deeper structures of the neck, including subplatysmal fat, submandibular glands, and digastric muscles. This multi-layer approach delivers comprehensive rejuvenation alongside impeccably natural-looking results.
Your neck lift experience at Face N Body Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery is designed for comfort and precision, overseen by our trusted plastic surgeons, Dr. Park or Dr. Cheah. On the day of your surgery, you will be welcomed to our AAAHC-accredited surgery center in Upland, CA, where our dedicated team and board-certified anesthesiologist will ensure your well-being.
The tailored surgical procedure typically involves small, discreet incisions placed under the chin and/or behind the ears, designed to be easily concealed. Through these carefully planned access points, our surgeons will sculpt away excess fat cells, tighten the underlying neck muscles (platysma), and trim redundant skin beneath the chin. For appropriate candidates, this may involve a Deep Plane Neck Lift, where the muscle and soft tissue are lifted together as a unit, allowing for a more profound and enduring correction of sagging.
The remaining skin is then meticulously redraped and secured, creating a smoother, more defined neck and jawline.
The duration of the surgery varies based on the complexity of your unique case, but our focus remains on achieving exceptional and harmonious results with the utmost care. After the procedure, you'll be moved to a comfortable recovery area for observation before being discharged and returning home.
A neck lift is specifically designed to address the unique signs of aging that can accumulate around the jawline and neck, often leading to a disproportionately aged appearance compared to the upper face. The procedure effectively treats:
By comprehensively addressing these concerns, a neck lift can significantly rejuvenate your lower face and neck.
A neck lift specifically focuses on the lower jawline, chin, and neck, creating a smoother, firmer contour that elegantly frames the face.
Undergoing a neck lift at Face N Body offers a multitude of benefits that extend beyond a refreshed appearance, positively impacting your overall self-perception.
One of the most significant advantages of a neck lift is the ability to restore a crisp, youthful jawline. By addressing sagging skin and excess fat, the procedure eliminates jowls and the "double chin," creating a beautifully sculpted profile that enhances your natural bone structure. This can dramatically improve your overall facial balance.
Many patients feel their neck gives away their age, even if their face remains youthful. Achieving a smoother, firmer neck can align your outer appearance with your inner vitality, leading to a profound boost in self-confidence. You'll feel more comfortable and elegant in a wider range of clothing and during social interactions, knowing your profile exudes renewed youth.
A neck lift provides incredibly durable results, effectively turning back the clock on the aging process in this area. Unlike temporary solutions, the structural changes made during a neck lift create a foundational improvement that can last for many years, ensuring you continue to look refreshed and refined for over a decade. It's an investment in enduring grace.
Generally, excellent candidates for a neck lift are individuals who are in good overall health and are bothered by visible signs of aging in their neck and jawline, even if their upper face still appears youthful. This often includes concerns like loose, sagging neck skin ("turkey wattle"), prominent neck bands, or excess fat under the chin that creates a "double chin" effect. Ideal candidates are non-smokers and hold realistic expectations about the achievable outcomes. During your consultation in Upland, CA, Dr. Park or Dr. Cheah will thoroughly evaluate your anatomy, discuss your medical history, and explore your aesthetic goals to determine if a neck lift is the most appropriate and beneficial procedure for you.
The recovery period following a neck lift is a crucial phase, and our compassionate team at Face N Body provides attentive support every step of the way. You can expect some swelling, bruising, and a sensation of tightness in the neck area. These are normal and expected parts of the healing process.
While initial improvements in your neck contour will be noticeable immediately after your procedure, the true, refined results of your neck lift will gradually become apparent as swelling fully subsides. Significant improvements are typically visible within 3 to 6 months, and your final, beautiful outcome will continue to settle over the first year.
A neck lift provides incredibly long-lasting and impactful results. While the natural aging process continues, the structural improvements made during the surgery effectively "reset" your appearance in the neck and jawline. Patients typically enjoy the rejuvenating effects of a neck lift for 10 to 15 years, or even longer. The benefits are enduring, ensuring your neck remains significantly more youthful than if you had not undergone the procedure, maintaining a graceful and defined profile for years to come.
