What is a Neck Lift?

Are you bothered by loose neck skin, excess fatty pockets under the chin, jowls, or neck banding? These signs of aging can occur due to many factors such as gravity, heredity, stress, and environmental factors.  A neck lift is a surgical procedure that improves visible signs of aging in the jawline and neck for a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

A facelift can be used to improve the following:

  • Sagging neck skin
  • Jowls
  • Vertical neck bands
  • Neck wrinkles

Dr. Willis did a wonderful job with my surgery. He explained everything very well beforehand so I knew what to expect throughout the process. I would highly recommend Dr. Willis for any plastic surgery procedures. His patient care coordinator Leah is excellent and always available to assist with any questions and concerns.

I have had the best experience with Dr. Willis and Leah. I have had filler, Dysport, and I've been under the knife with Dr. Willis and I've been so happy with all of my results. I actually feel like a part of their family, I can call whenever I need anything and they both make me feel like they care about me and my results.

Dr.Willis and staff are incredible! They treat their patients with such high respect and make you feel right at home during your procedure. They are experienced and dedicated to making things right. You leave the office feeling really good about yourself and the work they’ve performed! I’ve had Fillers and Botox but would recommend anything!

Dr. Willis and his staff were amazing! Very calm, clean and professional atmosphere. They were inviting and attentive. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I went in for a consultation and had my lip filler procedure in the same day. Quick and painless. The results are perfect. I highly recommend Dr.Willis and taking advantage of the referral program. 10/10!

The Neck Lift Procedure

This procedure can be performed using a traditional neck lift incision or a limited incision technique.

Traditional Neck Lift

An incision will begin in the hairline near the sideburn and continue down and around the ear. Through this incision, Dr. Willis will redistribute or sculpt fat from the jowls and neck, tighten muscles, and eliminate extra skin.

Limited Incision Neck Lift

This technique involves shorter incisions that are only created around the ear. While there will be less scarring, results will be more limited.

Recovery

Following your neck lift, bandages may be placed around your face and neck to minimize swelling. A thin tube may also be placed temporarily to collect any excess fluid. During recovery, you should keep your head elevated to minimize swelling and avoid twisting or bending your neck. It is important that you do not apply ice to your neck, as this can hinder blood flow and result in poor results. We will provide you with aftercare instructions to ensure you receive the best results.

Visible improvements will begin to be noticeable once bruising and swelling subside. Patients will find that their final neck lift results restore a more youthful appearance that can also lead to a boost in confidence.
