Don't let your neck expose your secrets

The neck is an often neglected portion of your face that gives away your age. Heredity and environmental factors age the delicate neck, often leaving you with loose skin, called turkey neck, and bands of wrinkles and creases.

A Neck Lift can tighten and smooth out the excess skin subtracting years off your appearance. Board-certified plastic surgeon Michael N. Mirzabeigi, MD, strives to deliver the best Neck Lift Altanta has to offer and dedicates his talents to ensuring you have confidence in your look from head to toe. Schedule your Neck Lift consultation to ensure your neck isn't telling any secrets without your permission.

What is a Neck Lift?

Dramatic improvements

A Neck Lift is similar to a facelift in that it treats the neck but does not address the upper face. The incisions can be identical to those used for a facelift, or they can be limited to the area behind the chin.

You might combine a Neck Lift with additional facial rejuvenation operations if you want more thorough results. Neck Lifts can be combined with brow lifts, eyelid surgery, lip augmentation, and even non-surgical treatments such as Botox injections.

What does a Neck Lift handle?

A neck lift addresses common aging signs affecting the neck and jawline. It specifically targets loose skin, excess fat, and weakened muscles that contribute to a less defined, sagging appearance. Whether you're dealing with a "turkey neck," double chin, or jowls, a neck lift can effectively rejuvenate your neck and lower face, giving you a smoother, firmer, and more youthful look.

Turkey Neck

Sagging, loose skin on the neck, often referred to as "turkey neck", is one of the most common concerns a neck lift addresses. As skin loses its elasticity with age, it can start to droop and create a wrinkled, folded look. A neck lift tightens this loose skin, smooths out creases, and removes the excess, leaving you with a firmer, more youthful neckline.

Double Chin

A double chin can develop due to genetics, aging, or weight gain, and it often doesn't respond to diet or exercise. During a neck lift, excess fat is removed, and the underlying muscles are tightened to eliminate the appearance of a double chin. This creates a more defined jawline and a sleeker, more sculpted profile.

What are the Benefits of a Neck Lift?

Aging often results in loose skin of the lower neck. This means that diet and exercise aren't always enough to snap it back to its younger form. With aging, sagging skin, “turkey neck”, double chins, jowls, and deep creases and wrinkles may result. A Neck Lift targets these problems directly, leaving you with tightened muscles, smoother skin and making you look years younger.

Benefits of a Neck Lift include:

Am I a Good Candidate for a Neck Lift?

Neck Lifts are particularly beneficial to patients troubled by loose, sagging skin on their necks. By tightening loose neck muscles, a neck lift can improve the look of troublesome neckbands (vertical "cords" in the center of the neck). In addition, the operation eliminates excessive skin and eliminates the dreaded "turkey neck," leaving you with a sleeker profile.

Patients who are a healthy weight but can't manage to get rid of their "double chin" are also good candidates for Neck Lift. A Neck Lift aims to remove extra fat but does not treat sagging skin. As a result, individuals in their twenties to early forties will have the skin elasticity required to contract the following liposuction smoothly to obtain a more defined jawline.

Your Neck Lift Procedure

A sleeker profile

General anesthesia is used during your Neck Lift procedure. A local anesthetic is also employed to keep you comfortable throughout your surgery. The front of the neck is sculpted.

Additionally, an incision may be placed around the ear lobe, behind the ear, and extending down where it is buried in the hairline is placed to tighten the neck area. A tube is formed beneath the skin so that it can be readily slid back. The excess skin behind the ear is gradually tightened and the surplus removed. Sutures are used to seal the incisions. Michael N. Mirzabeigi, MD, pays close attention to your individual needs and strives to deliver excellent Neck Lift results with unrivaled precision.

Neck Lift Recovery

When diet and exercise aren't enough

After your neck lift procedure, it's normal to experience some swelling and bruising around the neck, which will gradually subside over time. You may be required to wear a surgical garment to help reduce swelling and support your newly contoured neck. Discomfort can usually be managed with prescribed medications, and we'll provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery process.

Most of our Neck Lift patients in Atlanta can expect to take about two weeks off from their typical daily activities, including work. During this period, it's important to get plenty of rest and avoid any strenuous activity, including exercise. While initial swelling may reduce significantly after two weeks, full recovery can take a little longer, with final results becoming more apparent over the following few months as your neck continues to heal and settle into its new shape.

Here's a general timeline for what you can expect:

  • Weeks 1-2: Most swelling and bruising will begin to improve. You may still need to wear your compression garment and avoid any strenuous movements.
  • Weeks 3-4: Swelling continues to decrease, and many patients feel comfortable resuming non-strenuous daily activities, though you'll still want to avoid heavy lifting or intense workouts.
  • Months 2-3: You'll begin to see more refined results, with most patients returning to their normal exercise routine by this time.

We'll guide you throughout each step of the recovery to ensure you're healing properly and achieving the best possible results.

Neck Lift Results

Extending your younger days

Even if you have swelling and bruising, you will see a rapid improvement in your neck contours.

In two to three months after your Neck Lift, the best possible outcome can be predicted. As long as you maintain a stable weight, the results of either treatment are long-lasting. Though natural aging will occur, your neck will appear younger than if you did not undergo Neck Lift surgery.

Neck Lift Cost

The cost of a neck lift varies depending on the specifics of your procedure, including the techniques used and whether it's combined with other surgeries like a facelift or liposuction. Every surgery is customized to the patient, so pricing can also differ based on geographic location. Your total cost will typically include surgical fees, anesthesia, and facility fees, along with pre- and post-operative care. During your consultation, we'll provide a detailed breakdown of all costs so you know exactly what to expect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Neck Lift surgery hurt?

During Neck Lifts, patients may suffer minimal discomfort. Dr. Mirzabeigi, on the other hand, ensures that his patients are not in excruciating pain during therapy.

Does my insurance cover it?

A Neck Lift is strictly a cosmetic operation. Insurance only covers medical treatments. Thus it is not covered.

What is the best age for a Neck Lift?

While there's no "perfect" age for a neck lift, most patients begin to notice significant skin laxity and signs of aging in their 40s to 60s.

Is a Neck Lift worth the money?

A neck lift can provide long-lasting, youthful results for those looking to reduce sagging skin, jowls, or a double chin. Many patients find it well worth the investment.

How long does a Neck Lift last?

Results from a neck lift typically last 10 to 15 years, depending on factors like skin elasticity, lifestyle, and aging.

What's the difference between a Mini Neck Lift and a Neck Lift?

A mini neck lift targets mild sagging and requires smaller incisions, while a full neck lift addresses more significant skin laxity and aging concerns for a more dramatic result.

Will a Neck Lift leave scars?

While a neck lift does involve incisions, they are usually placed discreetly around the ears or under the chin, making them difficult to notice once fully healed.
