Men and women who are considering neck lift surgery generally battle visibly loose skin along the neckline. Neck skin that hangs is usually caused by numerous factors including gravity, weight fluctuations, and aging. Regardless of the reason, hanging neck skin causes an unbecoming look, which generally can only be addressed with skin removal and tightening. If your weight is stable but you are frustrated by lines, wrinkles, and loose skin on the neck, a neck lift surgery may be a great option. If loose skin is not your main issue, you may be better suited for neck liposuction.

During neck lift surgery, general anesthesia is used. An incision is placed around the ears and another one may also be made underneath the chin. If isolated areas of fat exist, liposuction would be completed first. Following that aspect, any sagging or hanging skin will be trimmed away and the remaining skin pulled tight. This tightening method will be performed until the desired contour, shape, and smoothness has been attained. Although sutures are used to close the incision, scarring will not be visibly seen on the neck since they are located under the chin. An injection, such as Kybella, may also be used to enhance the results. Furthermore, other nonsurgical alternatives can help the skin's surface, such as laser treatment or a peel, to create a glowing appearance. 

After neck lift surgery, there will most likely be some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, but these will dissipate after a few days. It's important to rest and eliminate high-impact movements and activities for several weeks to assist in the healing period. During this time, loose clothing should be worn. Men and women will see visible outcomes almost immediately. In fact, it has been stated that neck lift treatment can make one of the most significant improvements to a person's profile, taking a decade off your appearance.
