What Is Neck Lift?

A neck lift is a cosmetic surgery that aims to create a tighter, smoother, and more youthful appearance in the neck area. During this procedure, excess tissue is removed from the chin, jawline, and neck. Dr. Nesiba can treat sagging skin and visible vertical bands that occur with age. A typical neck lift takes 2-4 hours to perform under general anesthesia. Flourish Surgical Arts always aims to achieve the best results using the latest technology and techniques.

Before & After Our Neck Lift

Our Neck Lift Technique: Cervicoplasty + Plastysmaplasty

During a cervicoplasty, excess skin and fat deposits are removed or reshaped to create a smooth neck contour. The incisions for this surgery are typically made under the chin or behind the ears, where they can be hidden. Platysmaplasty is a technique that focuses specifically on the platysma muscle in the neck. Dr. Nesiba makes small incisions behind the ears to tighten this muscle and fix the vertical neck cords that may have occurred with age. This procedure is performed together with cervicoplasty to enhance the overall rejuvenation results.

Consultation & Preparation for Neck Lift

Patients begin their neck lift journey with an in-depth consultation in our office. During this first meeting, Dr. Nesiba discusses their goals, medical history, and lifestyle factors. He also evaluates the patient’s skin elasticity and bone structure to determine the best surgical approach. In addition, Dr. Nesiba explains the different types of incisions and techniques that may be used, along with the risks and complications.
After confirming that the patient is eligible for surgery, we discuss the preparation process:

Neck Lift Procedure

General Anesthesia

This facial plastic surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia to ensure that the patient is comfortable and does not feel any pain during the operation.
Dr. Nesiba makes small incisions under the chin, around the ear, or back on the hairline. These openings provide access for repositioning and tightening underlying neck muscles and connective tissues. Incisions are placed in discreet areas to minimize visible scarring after healing.
Dr. Nesiba uses sutures or other techniques to tighten the platysma neck muscles. This procedure creates a smoother, tighter look for the neck by removing vertical bands. Excess fat may also be eliminated or contoured at this point with liposuction.
Loose skin is removed from the incision sites, and the remaining tissue is redraped for a smoother contour, making the neck look youthful and tight. Dr. Nesiba uses the best practices to create natural-looking results and achieve the patient’s aesthetic goals.
After all reshaping and contouring procedures, the incisions are closed with sutures. The scar lines fade over time, leaving minimal traces in hidden places.

Add-On Procedure: Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery, also called blepharoplasty, removes excess skin and fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids. This procedure can correct droopiness and puffiness that make a person look tired or sad even when they are not. During blepharoplasty, incisions are made along the natural creases to access the underlying tissue. Excess skin and fat are removed or repositioned, and the incisions are closed with fine sutures.

The results of eyelid surgery are visible immediately, but the final picture emerges over 3-6 months as the swelling goes down. When combined with a neck lift to smooth loose skin and tighten muscles, eyelid surgery can rejuvenate the entire upper face and neck area.

Early Recovery (First Week)

Patients experience some swelling and bruising around the neck and jawline in the first week after a neck lift. Bandages and a support garment should be worn to aid healing. Pain medication is also used to manage any discomfort. We recommend sleeping with the head elevated during the first week. Patients should also have a lot of rest to ensure proper healing. Most people return to light work after 7-10 days of recovery, but it may take longer for some individuals.
During this period, swelling and bruising continue to decrease. We recommend minimizing head and neck movement in the first month to avoid putting tension on incisions. Most patients can return to their typical daily activities after 2-3 weeks, but strenuous exercise should be avoided.
For up to 6 months after a neck lift, patients continue to heal and see improvements in their neck contours and appearance. Scars mature and fade during this time. Any residual swelling goes down, revealing the final results. Patients can usually resume exercise and more strenuous activities after 6 weeks, as directed by Dr. Nesiba.

Benefits of Neck Lift

Younger, More Vibrant Appearance

This surgery aims to make the patient look more youthful and vibrant. By removing sagging neck skin, Dr. Nesiba can reduce wrinkles and other signs of aging. Tightening underlying muscle also helps eliminate vertical bands and improve tone. With refined contours and smoother skin, the neck will look more refreshed.
Cosmetic improvements may cause a significant boost in self-esteem. A youthful, contoured appearance helps people present themselves with greater confidence in professional and everyday situations.
While no plastic surgery produces permanent results, a neck lift can provide improvements that last 5-15 years. Maintaining a stable weight and protecting the skin from sun damage will help preserve the new contours for longer. Periodic skin tightening procedures may also prolong the neck lift results.
