Neck Lift: Define Your Jawline and Eliminate Neck Aging

The neck is one of the most revealing areas of facial aging, yet it is often overlooked. A neck lift (cervicoplasty or platysmaplasty) is a surgical procedure that tightens loose neck skin, removes excess fat, and corrects the underlying muscle bands to restore a clean, defined jawline and a smooth neck profile.

Common Neck Aging Concerns

• "Turkey neck" — loose, hanging skin beneath the chin and along the neck
• Platysmal bands — vertical muscle cords visible on the neck
• Submental fat (double chin) — fat accumulation below the jawline
• Loss of the cervicomental angle — the sharp angle between chin and neck
• Horizontal neck wrinkles and skin laxity

Surgical Approach

Neck lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia. Incisions are discreetly placed behind the ears and under the chin. The platysma muscle is tightened, excess fat is removed (sometimes with liposuction), and the skin is redraped for a smooth, firm result. The procedure takes approximately 2–3 hours and is commonly combined with a facelift for complete lower face and neck rejuvenation.

Recovery

Patients wear a supportive chin strap for 1–2 weeks to minimize swelling. Most patients return to work within 10–14 days. Swelling continues to diminish over 4–6 weeks, and the final neck lift result is fully visible within 2–3 months. Results typically last 5–10 years.
