Neck Lift
A neck lift, also known as platysmaplasty or lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that addresses visible signs of aging in the neck and jawline. As people age, the skin and muscles in the neck can lose firmness, leading to sagging, wrinkles, and the development of “turkey neck” or jowls. The neck lift procedure involves tightening the underlying muscles (platysma), removing excess fat, and redraping or trimming sagging skin to restore a firmer, more defined neck and jawline. At our clinic, expert surgeons use refined techniques to produce natural-looking results while minimizing scarring and recovery time.
The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, and it often takes about 1.5 to 3 hours depending on the complexity. Most patients can return home the same day and resume light activities within a week. Swelling, bruising, and tightness are common in the early recovery phase but subside progressively. A neck lift may be combined with other procedures such as a face lift, chin liposuction, or skin resurfacing to enhance overall facial harmony. Once healing is complete, patients typically enjoy a rejuvenated profile and increased confidence in their appearance.

What is Rhinoplasty ?
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a “nose job,” is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the nose for aesthetic enhancement or functional improvement. It can address concerns like:
A dorsal hump
Drooping or bulbous nasal tip
Crooked bridge
Overall facial imbalance
In many cases, rhinoplasty is also performed to improve nasal breathing, particularly when combined with correction of a deviated septum.
At our clinic, board-certified surgeons take a personalized, detail-oriented approach, analyzing each patient’s facial structure to deliver natural-looking and harmonious results.
Rhinoplasty Process
1. Consultation
Detailed facial and nasal analysis
Discussion of aesthetic goals and functional concerns
Customized surgical plan tailored to your features
2. Surgical Procedure
General anesthesia is typically used
Hidden incisions (inside the nostrils) minimize visible scarring
The nose is reshaped (tip refined, hump reduced, bridge straightened, etc.)
If needed, internal corrections like a septoplasty are performed to enhance breathing
3. Recovery
Surgery duration: 2–3 hours
Outpatient procedure: most patients go home the same day
Swelling and bruising peak in the first week and subside within 1–2 weeks
External splint worn for about a week
Return to light activities and office work: typically within 7–10 days
Final results: refined nasal shape settles within 12 months

Overview
What is a Neck Lift?
A neck lift is a specialized surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the neck area by addressing loose skin, fat accumulation, and weakened muscles. As we age, the neck often shows some of the earliest signs of aging—such as sagging skin, double chin, and visible vertical muscle bands. While some may experience changes due to aging, others notice these concerns earlier due to genetics or weight fluctuations.
A neck lift effectively smooths and redefines the contours of the neck and jawline, offering a more sculpted and youthful profile. This procedure can be performed alone or in combination with a facelift, chin liposuction, or other facial procedures for comprehensive rejuvenation. Techniques may include platysmaplasty (muscle tightening), cervicoplasty (skin removal), and liposuction for fat reduction.
Incisions: Typically made behind the ears and possibly under the chin to minimize visible scarring.
Muscle Tightening: The platysma muscle is tightened or sutured together to reduce banding and create definition.
Fat Removal: Excess fat is removed through liposuction or direct excision.
Skin Redraping: Loose or sagging skin is trimmed and recontoured for a smoother neckline.
- Combination Options: Often paired with a facelift or chin enhancement for balanced results

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about neck lift? We’ve answered the most common concerns to help you feel confident and informed before your procedure.
What age is best for a neck lift?
Most patients seeking a neck lift are between the ages of 40 and 70. However, the best time depends on when noticeable sagging, excess skin, or fat accumulation in the neck begins to bother you and affect your confidence.
Will a neck lift dramatically change how I look?
A neck lift enhances and defines your natural features, especially the jawline and neck. The goal is a subtle, rejuvenated appearance — not a drastically different look.
How long do the results of a neck lift last?
Results typically last 10–15 years. While the aging process continues, the improvements from a neck lift are long-lasting, especially with good skincare and healthy lifestyle habits.
Is a neck lift painful?
Most patients experience mild discomfort, tightness, or swelling for a few days after surgery. Pain is usually well-controlled with prescribed medications, and many describe the recovery as tolerable.
How long does it take to recover from a neck lift?
Initial recovery generally takes 1–2 weeks. You can return to light work or activities within 10–14 days. Full healing, including resolution of swelling and optimal contour, typically takes 2–3 months.
Will there be visible scars after a neck lift?
Incisions are placed discreetly behind the ears and sometimes under the chin, making them virtually unnoticeable once healed. Scars fade significantly over time with proper care.
Can a neck lift be combined with other procedures?
Yes. It’s commonly combined with a facelift, chin liposuction, or facial fat grafting to provide more comprehensive facial rejuvenation and better balance across features.
How do I know if I'm a good candidate for a neck lift?
You may be a good candidate if you have loose or sagging neck skin, visible banding, or excess fat in the neck and are in good overall health. A consultation with a qualified surgeon will help determine your eligibility.
How should I prepare for my neck lift surgery?
Preparation includes stopping certain medications, avoiding smoking, arranging for post-operative help, and following pre-operative instructions given by your surgeon to ensure a smooth procedure and recovery.
Will a neck lift improve my jawline and double chin?
Yes. A neck lift can significantly improve jawline definition and reduce a double chin by removing fat and tightening the underlying muscles and skin, creating a more contoured and youthful profile.
