What is a Neck Lift?
A neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that enhances the appearance of the neck and jawline by reducing excess skin, tightening underlying muscles, and removing or altering fatty tissue. This procedure is ideal for correcting age-related wrinkling and sagging in the neck area, commonly referred to as "turkey neck." Our tailored approaches can incorporate a traditional neck lift, limited incision techniques, or liposuction, depending on your specific needs and goals.

Benefits of a Neck Lift
- Improved Contour: A more defined neck and jawline enhances your overall facial balance.
- Youthful Appearance: Remove signs of aging from your neck area, rejuvenating your look.
- Increased Confidence: With a sleek, smooth neck, feel more confident in your appearance.
- Customized Results: Each neck lift is customized to the patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals, ensuring natural-looking results.
Ideal Neck Lift Candidates
Ideal candidates for a neck lift are generally healthy adults with noticeable sagging skin around the neck and under the chin due to aging, genetics, or weight loss. Candidates should have realistic expectations about the procedure’s outcomes and be non-smokers (or willing to quit) since smoking can complicate both the surgery and the healing process.
Neck Lift Procedure Details
Dr. Matthew Karen meticulously tailors each neck lift procedure to meet your needs and aesthetic goals. Your comfort and safety are paramount, which is why all procedures are performed under anesthesia. Some common neck lift approaches include:
- Traditional Neck Lift: This comprehensive approach involves making incisions that typically start in the hairline at the level of the sideburn, continuing down and around the ear, and ending in the posterior hair. This method allows Dr. Karen to address multiple issues such as excess fat, loose skin, and lax platysma muscles. Through these incisions, he can reposition or remove fat from the jowls and neck, tighten the platysma muscle, and remove excess skin to redefine the neck and jawline.
- Limited Incision Neck Lift: Ideal for patients with less pronounced signs of aging, the limited incision technique involves smaller incisions, usually around the earlobes. Despite the reduced incision size, significant improvements can be made to the jawline and lower face. This option is often chosen by younger patients or those seeking less invasive enhancements.
- Neck Liposuction: When excess fatty tissue is the primary concern rather than loose skin or muscle, neck liposuction can be highly effective. Small incisions are made discreetly beneath the chin or behind the ears. A cannula is then used to gently suction out fat, sculpting a more defined neck contour. This procedure can be performed alone or in conjunction with skin tightening if necessary.
- Combination Procedures: For comprehensive rejuvenation, you may decide to combine a neck lift with other procedures such as a facelift, chin augmentation, or laser skin resurfacing to achieve optimal results. This holistic approach ensures that all areas of concern are addressed, providing a harmonious and youthful appearance.
Neck Lift Recovery and Results
Post-surgery, you can expect to wear a compression garment to help reduce swelling and support the healing process. Most patients resume normal activities (like work) within two weeks but should avoid strenuous activities for at least a month. Results progressively improve as swelling subsides, with final results visible after a few months. Results are long-lasting, but we advise maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle to extend the benefits of your neck lift.

Neck Lift FAQ
How much does a neck lift cost?
The cost of your neck lift can be discussed during your consultation with Dr. Karen. Once he has developed your personal treatment plan, he can estimate prices for the anesthesia, facility, and more. To help make your neck lift affordable, Exclusively Faces accepts several payments methods, plus we can give you information on low-interest medical financing.
What about nonsurgical options?
Surgery is the only way to eliminate excess skin, particularly if it hangs or droops. While there are several nonsurgical skin tightening treatments that can give you some improvements, neck lift surgery is the most effective solution to redefine and smooth your neckline. A popular new minimally invasive treatment called KYBELLA targets fat in the upper neck, which causes a double chin; however, it doesn't correct excess skin.
Will I have visible scars?
A neck lift does require one incision under the chin as well as two more near the ears. However, these are made — so they are difficult for others to see. Dr. Karen makes every effort during your surgery to minimize visible scarring. A team member will explain scar management instructions, which will encourage your incisions to heal properly — so they are thin and flat.
Can I combine a neck lift with other facial surgeries?
At your initial consultation, you can bring up that you are thinking about another surgery, such as a facelift or a chin implant, along with a neck lift. It is normal for two or more face surgeries to be combined to get your best results. If you have any concerns about a weak chin or undefined jawline, tell Dr. Karen so he can create a comprehensive treatment plan.
Should I get a neck lift or liposuction?
Depending on your concerns and goals, you might consider combining a neck lift with liposuction. This may help if you have both excess skin and fat pockets in your neck. Dr. Karen will help you decide whether a lift, liposuction, or both should be part of your surgical plan during your consultation.
