What Is a Neck Lift?A neck lift – technically known as a lower rhytidectomy – is a surgical procedure to reduce the signs of aging in the jawline and neck. It includes the removal of excess skin, tightening of underlying muscles, and neck contouring. In essence, it’s a way to regain your smooth, youthful appearance. If you’re dealing with sagging skin or visible neck bands, a neck lift will help. |
Am I a Good Candidate for Neck Lift Surgery?
Neck lift surgery is a viable option for most individuals who are unhappy with their neck or jaw appearance. However, you must be in relatively good shape and have realistic expectations for the procedure. Age isn’t a strict determinant, but most of our clients are middle-aged or older and hoping to address signs of aging. During a consultation, we can help determine if a neck lift is right for you. We’ll do so by evaluating your skin elasticity and overall health. Those with significant sun damage or who exhibit unhealthy lifestyles must first address these issues before qualifying for a neck lift procedure. But if you’re healthy and ready to rejuvenate your look, we can start the process.
The Different Types of Neck Lifts
There are two main types of neck lifts. We’ll work with you to determine the best option for your procedure. You may also be a candidate for neck liposuction if you’re more focused on fat reduction. However, if improving your facial profile is the main goal, we can perform:
- Full Face Lift – A traditional neck lift involves making small incisions around the ears and possibly the chin. It can take multiple hours to complete but allows for significant lifting and restructuring.
- Mini Face Lift – This less invasive option uses smaller incisions and is ideal for individuals with minimal sagging. We normally recommend this option for younger patients or those looking for subtle improvement.
Understanding the Neck Lift Process
Before deciding on a neck lift, it’s essential to understand the steps involved. The process will begin with a consultation with Dr. Hanz. We’ll review your medical history and then discuss your goals and concerns.
On the day of surgery, we will place you under general anesthesia with local anesthesia for comfort depending on the type of neck lift you choose, surgery may take several hours. Once we’re finished, we’ll monitor you until you’re ready to go home.
We’ll provide detailed instructions for your recovery process. The timeline varies among patients. However, most can return to normal activities within two weeks. Swelling and bruising are common, but they’ll subside in short order.
Why Is a Neck Lift Better Than Similar Alternatives?
Neck lifts are more permanent than non-surgical options or fillers and provide more comprehensive results. While alternatives may provide temporary improvements, they require repeated sessions. Furthermore, neck lifts achieve the most natural look possible. By focusing on the structure of your neck and jawline, we can avoid the overdone appearance that could result from excessive fillers.
What to Expect After a Neck Lift
After surgery, you can expect a beautiful transformation of your neck and jawline because Dr. Hanz is the best neck lift surgeon in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. We’ll help you manage your neck lift recovery with post-operative instructions to minimize swelling and achieve optimal results. Immediately after your procedure, you should avoid strenuous activities and protect your neck from sun exposure. Our team will schedule follow-up appointments to ensure your results last for years.
Benefits of Neck Lift Procedures
There are many benefits of neck lift surgery. Besides the obvious aesthetic improvements, individuals normally experience a significant boost in self-esteem and confidence.
Additionally, the procedure can help achieve a more balanced facial profile. We’ll enhance the harmony between your face and neck by addressing sagging or loose skin.
Finally, the outcomes are permanent. Rather than needing endless follow-ups, your rejuvenated look will stand the test of time.

The cost of a neck lift will vary based on the complexity of your procedure. However, Dr. Hanz wants high-quality aesthetic plastic surgery to be available to as many patients as possible, so we’re happy to work with you regarding financing and payment options.

Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A NECK LIFT?
A neck lift in Dallas, TX at Kevin R. Hanz, MD Aesthetic Plastic Surgery offers a number of outstanding benefits to remake and rejuvenate your look, including:
- Tightening loose, saggy skin (turkey neck)
- Reducing a double chin
- Smoothing lines and wrinkles
- Defining the jawline
- Recontouring the neck
- Creating a more youthful appearance
- Scarring is minimal and practically invisible
- Recovery time is short
- Results can be dramatic and long-lasting
CAN I GET A NECK LIFT?
If you are contemplating a neck lift, it’s generally because you have visibly loose skin on the neck. Neck skin that hangs is typically caused by aging and significant weight loss. Hanging neck skin produces an older, unbecoming look, which generally can only be cosmetically fixed with skin removal and tightening.
Some may choose a neck lift because they don’t feel like the appearance of their neck “matches” the appearance of their face. If your weight is stable and you are a nonsmoker and feel embarrassed by lines, wrinkles, and loose skin along the neck, a neck lift surgery may be a recommended answer.
HOW DOES A NECK LIFT WORK?
During a neck lift procedure, IV sedation or general anesthesia is used. An incision is placed around your ears while another one might also be created under your chin. If pockets of fat exist, liposuction will be completed first. Next, any loose skin will be carefully removed and the remaining skin will be pulled tight. This technique is performed until the desired contour, shape, and smoothness you discussed with Dr. Hanz in your consultation has been attained.
Even though sutures are placed at the incision area, scars should not be seen since they reside under your chin. Dr. Hanz or a member of his team will discuss your after-treatment care plan, and then you will be on your way home.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT AFTER MY NECK LIFT?
After your neck lift treatment, you will likely experience some mild swelling and discoloration from bruising, but these will dissipate after some healing time has passed. You should rest and avoid exercise or strenuous movements and activities for 2 – 3 weeks following your neck lift.
While recovering, button-tops or loose-fitting clothing are ideal. You will want to make an effort to keep your head elevated above your heart, as this will help minimize swelling. You should see visible outcomes almost immediately. In fact, it has been said that the neck lift surgery can make one of the biggest enhancements to a person’s profile, shaving years off their appearance.
How much will my neck lift cost?
The cost of your neck surgery can be reviewed during your consultation with Dr. Hanz. Once your treatment plan has been created, he will estimate costs for the anesthesia, facility, and miscellaneous fees.
To make your neck lift easy to afford, Kevin R. Hanz, MD Aesthetic Plastic Surgery takes several payment methods and we can tell you more about how to get low-interest medical financing.
What about nonsurgical options?
Neck lift surgery is the only option to remove loose skin, particularly if it droops or hangs. Although there are several nonsurgical skin tightening procedures that may produce mild improvements, neck lift surgery offers the most significant improvements to smooth and redefine the contours of your neck.
Will I have visible scars?
Neck lift surgery does include an incision under the chin and two more near the ears. However, these are made so they are as inconspicuous as possible. Dr. Hanz tries very hard during your surgery to avoid visible scarring. You will also be given scar care instructions that will help your incisions to heal thin and flat.
Can I combine a neck lift with other facial surgeries?
At your initial consultation, you can bring up that you may be thinking about another surgery, like a facelift or a chin implant, along with a neck lift. It is normal for two or more facial surgeries to be done together to achieve your best results. Be sure to be open and honest about your concerns and goals so Dr. Hanz can help you as much as possible.
Should I get a neck lift or liposuction?
Based on your concerns and goals, you may consider combining a neck lift with liposuction. A lift plus lipo can help if you have both loose skin and pockets of fat in your neck. Dr. Hanz will help you decide whether a lift, lipo, or a combination of both should be part of your treatment plan during your consultation.
