What is a Neck Lift?

The neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical method focused on rejuvenating the neck area. The technique involves removing excess skin and fat and tightening the underlying muscles. This surgery targets aging issues like sagging skin, muscle banding, and fat deposits, producing a more refined and youthful neck and jawline.

What are The Benefits of a Neck Lift?

A neck lift offers numerous advantages that can significantly enhance your appearance and self-confidence. Addressing the visible aging signs in the neck area delivers a smoother, tighter, and more youthful look with long-lasting results. The benefits of our neck lift procedure include the following:

  • Improved neck contour and definition
  • Reduced appearance of jowls and sagging skin
  • Enhanced jawline definition
  • Elimination of excess fat and skin

How does a Neck Lift Revitalize Your Look?

The technique involves making small incisions behind the ears and sometimes under the chin. Next, excess fat is removed or redistributed, and the underlying muscles are tightened. Excess skin is trimmed away, and then the remaining skin is re-draped for a smoother, more youthful appearance.

A neck lift targets several concerns, including the following:

  • Sagging skin in the neck area
  • Muscle banding in the neck, often called "turkey neck"
  • Excess fat deposits under the chin
  • Jowls or loss of jawline definition

What is done in a Neck Lift Surgery? 

Your neck lift in Scottsdale with surgeons at Caniglia Facial Plastic Surgery begins with a comprehensive consultation to design the process according to your specific needs and desired outcomes. The following steps are typical of what to expect during the procedure:

  1. Preparation: Anesthesia is administered for comfort during the procedure.
  2. Incisions: Small incisions are made behind the ears and possibly under the chin.
  3. Fat Removal/Redistribution: Excess fat is removed or redistributed for a more defined contour.
  4. Muscle Tightening: The underlying neck muscles are tightened to enhance support and firmness.
  5. Skin Redraping: Excess skin is trimmed away, and the remaining skin is re-draped smoothly.
  6. Closure: Incisions are carefully closed to minimize visible scarring.

What Happens After the Surgery?

Recovery from your neck lift in Scottsdale involves some downtime, but it is generally manageable and rewarding. Initially, expect some swelling and bruising for the first few days to weeks. A soft bandage or compression garment will support the neck and reduce swelling. Most patients can return to normal activities within two weeks, though strenuous activities should be avoided for about a month. Final results typically become apparent within a few months as swelling subsides. Our team will provide detailed post-operative care instructions and schedule regular follow-up appointments to ensure your healing process is going well and to address any concerns.

What is a neck lift, and what does it address?

A neck lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the neck by removing excess skin, tightening underlying muscles, and reducing fat. It addresses signs of aging such as sagging skin, muscle banding, and excess fat deposits, resulting in a smoother, more youthful neck contour.

How long is the recovery time for a neck lift?

Most patients can return to normal activities within a few weeks. However, strenuous activities and exercise should be avoided for 3-8 weeks. Swelling and bruising typically subside within a few weeks, but the final results may take several months to fully appear as the tissues settle.

Are the results of a neck lift permanent?

While a neck lift can produce long-lasting results, it does not stop the natural aging process. Most patients enjoy the benefits for 10 to 15 years, depending on their skin quality and lifestyle factors. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and skincare routine can help prolong the results.

Will I have visible scars after a neck lift?

Neck lift incisions are typically discreet, placed behind the ears and under the chin, minimizing visible scarring. With proper care and time, scars usually fade significantly and become barely noticeable.

Who is a good candidate for a neck lift?

Good candidates for a neck lift are individuals experiencing loose, sagging skin, muscle banding, or excess fat in the neck area. Ideal candidates are generally in good health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about the outcome of the procedure. A consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon can determine if a neck lift is the right option for you.
