Neck Lift

Neck Lift in Sarasota, FL

Are your neck wrinkles giving away your true age? Many people overlook the need to moisturize and apply sunscreen to their neck skin, leading to premature aging. Facial plastic surgery options like a facelift, brow lift, or eyelid surgery help men and women revitalize their faces, but the neck needs attention too. 

Address your aging neck with a neck lift at Sarasota Plastic Surgery Center. This cosmetic surgery can instantly improve the appearance of your profile by tightening up the sagging skin under the chin and on the neck. This procedure removes excess fat under the chin and also addresses neck banding and laxity.

If you’re planning a facelift, a neck lift is an ideal complement. You may also choose to have this procedure performed on its own to address focused aging on the jawline and neck areas. Are you a good candidate for a neck lift in Sarasota? Contact us to learn more or schedule a consultation with one of our four board-certified and board-eligible plastic surgeons.

What Is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift is a surgical cosmetic procedure to improve the shape and contours of the neck. Through carefully placed incisions, a cosmetic surgeon tightens the skin and neck muscles. They also remove excess fat and remove excess skin. 

Surgical neck rejuvenation is an excellent stand-alone procedure, but many people choose to pair it with facelift surgery. If you’ve recently lost significant weight, you might opt to combine it with contouring treatments like a body lift.  A neck lift provides long-lasting improvement to the contours of the neck and jawline. Most patients will not need retreatment and will enjoy a permanent improvement in their neck contours. 

A neck lift can address several different aesthetic neck concerns, including:

  • Double chin
  • Turkey neck
  • Platysmal neck banding
  • Loss of definition of the jawline or neck

If you have sagging skin in the neck area, you may be a good candidate for neck lift surgery. Explore this procedure at a consultation and learn more. The best candidates for this procedure are in good overall health and wanting to make a positive change to their appearance.

A neck lift is especially beneficial to patients who:

  • Have lost significant weight 
  • Have skin laxity in the neck or under the chin
  • Have a double chin or excess fat on the neck
  • Are experiencing muscle banding on the neck 
  • Are planning facelift surgery and want to address aging in the lower face, jawline, and neck

We meet with every potential patient to carefully review their goals for surgery and their medical history. We will help you determine if this procedure is a safe and effective option for your aesthetic goals, discussing the neck lift surgery risks. If not, your cosmetic surgeon will discuss alternatives like a nonsurgical neck lift. Please come prepared to discuss your medical history and any medications you take (including prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, and supplements). 

If you’re considering neck contouring with plastic surgery, we recommend you stop smoking and avoid heavy drinking, as these activities can interfere with healing.  

What Happens During Neck Lift Surgery?

A neck lift is an outpatient procedure performed while you are under general anesthesia or twilight sedation. Each patient works with their surgeon to decide which anesthesia option is the most appropriate. Patients receiving a facelift at the same time as their neck lift will typically receive general anesthesia. 

We usually perform surgery at our on-site surgical center, located on the top floor of our facility. Our surgical center is fully accredited and outfitted with the equipment we need to expertly perform the neck lift procedure.

What to expect on your surgery day at Sarasota Plastic Surgery Center

On surgery day, you’ll arrive at the designated time and check in. Before surgery, patients meet with several essential members of our surgical team, including their surgical nurse. We assign each patient a dedicated nurse to serve as their advocate during surgery. You’ll share your objectives with this nurse, and they will act as your voice during surgery, ensuring the procedure meets and exceeds your goals.

Your surgeon will carefully place incisions along the chin and in the ear area. Through these incisions, they will remove fat cells, tissue, and skin beneath the chin. They may also use liposuction to sculpt the neck and remove fat deposits along the jawline to improve the neck’s appearance. Having tightened the muscles, the surgeon pulls the skin is pulled tight and smooth, trims away excess, and expertly sutures the incisions closed. 

After the procedure, you’ll remain on-site for a short time for post-surgery observation.
