A neck lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess neck skin, reduces excess fat under the chin, and tightens neck muscles, if needed.
Weight loss, time, sun exposure, and genetics all significantly influence how your neck’s appearance changes. This means that there is no “right” age to have a neck lift. We all age in different ways. If you are concerned about your neck appearance, consider scheduling a consultation with Dr. Rodriguez to explore your options.
Frequently, a neck lift is combined with other procedures, including a lavado de cara, estiramiento facial de plano profundo, levantamiento de cejas y cirugía de párpado. Dr. Rodriguez often recommends combining these procedures to treat the facial region as a whole and achieve a more natural, rejuvenating result.
Dr. Rodriguez performs a neck lift surgery using general anesthesia. An incision on each side is planned to be hidden as much as possible. If the procedure is combined with a facelift, the incision is often the same, curving around the earlobe and behind the ear. A small, discrete incision under the chin is also usually made. Local anesthetic (numbing medicine) and a medication called tranexamic acid are injected to dramatically reduce bleeding, bruising, and pain.
The neck is then treated in several layers. First, any extra fat is removed, sometimes using liposucción. Then, the neck muscles are tightened under the chin and at the sides of the neck. Any muscle bands are also treated to make the neck as smooth as possible. The excess skin is trimmed, re-draped, and then carefully sutured into place. This multilayered, comprehensive approach addresses the primary structures that contribute to an aged appearance at the neck.

If your neck lift is combined with otros procedimientos, such as a facelift, you may stay overnight in a recovery suite. Small drain tubes placed during surgery help prevent fluid accumulation, and these are removed several days after surgery. Sutures are removed in about 5-10 days. You may wear a garment under the chin to provide gentle neck compression and optimize your results. Most patients can return to work about 2 weeks after surgery, and you can resume your regular exercise routine after 6 weeks.
Dr. Rodriguez prides herself on attention to detail and meticulous planning for facial rejuvenation surgery, including a neck lift. Your procedure will be customized and carefully designed to deliver an elegant, natural result. During her aesthetic surgery fellowship, Dr. Rodriguez conducted research on a novel technique, called the BEST neck lift, designed by Dr. Henry Mentz, her mentor and an internationally renowned facial plastic surgeon. This technique uses a specialized suturing technique to smooth the skin under the chin and accentuate the jawline contour.
Especially in the first few months after your neck lift surgery, it is essential to protect the scars from the sun with sunscreen. Medical-grade skin care products are important for maintaining the results of a neck lift long-term. While the aging process will not stop after a neck lift, sun protection, skin care, and a healthy lifestyle can significantly slow it and help you enjoy the results of your neck lift surgery for many years.
