Neck Lift
A sagging neck can significantly impact the quality of your facial appearance. Men and women with pronounced drooping along the jowls and down the neck can look older than they actually are. Contouring the neck can restore a leaner and more graceful appearance. If you are looking to erase unwanted signs of neck aging, a neck lift may be right for you.

Achieved With Neck Lift
A Leaner Neck Appearance
The goal of a neck lift is to provide a leaner, firmer neck. A sagging neck is caused by both a weak platysma muscle and skin laxity along the neck. By targeting both causes of neck sagging, Dr. Corbin is able to provide dramatic results. Tightening the neck muscles will provide a leaner appearance and longer-lasting neck lift results.
Schedule a ConsultationElimination of Vertical Banding
The thinning of neck tissues, loss of healthy fat, and stretching of the platysma muscle can result in visible vertical banding. Vertical bands can age your appearance, contributing a “turkey wattle” profile. During your neck lift, the muscles and fat can be repositioned to improve the appearance of vertical banding, which can create a more youthful neck.
Schedule a ConsultationA Defined Jaw and Chin
Sagging skin and excess fat can obscure the jawline and chin, causing some patients to look heavier than they are. Excess tissue is removed to enhance the contours along the neck. Additionally, liposuction may be used to eliminate the appearance of a double chin. Most patients are astounded at the definition that can be achieved through a neck lift.

Neck Lift Options
Incisions
- Incisions are placed discreetly under the chin and behind the ears.
- Through the incisions, the platysma muscle is tightened using a corset suturing technique.
- Excess skin and fat are trimmed away, providing a better contour for the neck.
Liposuction
- Liposuction is ideal for patients with good skin elasticity and excess neck fat.
- Liposuction can be performed as a standalone neck procedure or in combination with other techniques.
- Allows for tailored contouring of the neck and jawline.
- For some candidates, Dr. Corbin can perform an essentially scarless neck lift with RFAL (radio-frequency assisted lipolysis) and liposuction.
Combination Neck Lift and Facelift
- Combining a neck lift with a facelift achieves better, more dramatic results.
- A combination facelift and neck lift provides a more natural appearance with subtle transitions from the face to neck.
- This saves patients time and money by having a one-time procedure.
Addressing Any Concerns You May Have
Recovery
You will experience bruising, swelling, and redness following your neck lift. An ice compress may be used to reduce swelling. It is normal for the tissues around your neck to feel tight. You will rest for several days with your head elevated to minimize excess swelling.
Your bruising and swelling should begin to subside after one week, after which time most patients can return to work. You can resume your regular exercise routine with your doctor’s permission, usually after two to three weeks. By four weeks, your final results should become apparent.
Cost
The exact price of your neck lift will be determined during your initial consultation; the price of neck lift surgery varies by patient. Surgical fees, facility fees, anesthesia fees, and technique all affect the cost of your procedure.
Pain
The repositioning of the neck tissues can result in some minor discomfort and pain. This usually lasts several days and can be controlled using prescribed oral pain medication.
