An aging neck can result in unwanted wrinkles, lines, and sagging skin in the neck area. In many cases, the neck begins to show signs of age before the face, which robs us of our youthful appearance sooner than it should.

If you’re not prepared to have a full facelift but you’d like to improve an aging neck, including the appearance of wrinkles, sagging, a double chin, a "turkey wattle" and jowls, a neck lift procedure may be the right procedure for you.

What is a neck lift?

A neck lift is a surgical procedure designed to diminish signs of aging in the jawline and neck. A neck lift helps the neck to match better with a firmer, more youthful-looking face. A neck lift procedure removes excess skin and fat from the neck to achieve a firmer, slimmer, and more elegant neck contour.

What can a neck lift address?

A neck lift in Las Vegas can address the following concerns:

Drooping skin on the neck
A double chin
Loose skin or jowls
Bands around the neck
Turkey wattle

What happens during the procedure?

Dr. Engineer will start with an in-depth consultation to discuss your medical history, cosmetic concerns, and aesthetic goals. He will examine your neck and skin and discuss the details of the procedure with you.

Your surgery will take 2-4 hours and begins with general anesthesia. Once it has taken effect, Dr. Engineer will make a very small incision under your chin, and small incisions around and behind your ears in your hairline. He will use these incision points to carefully tighten the muscles of your neck and remove extra fat and skin. The skin of your neck will be lifted into place to create a firm, youthful contour. Dr. Engineer will then close the incisions and apply a pressure dressing.

Recovery after neck lift surgery

Post-surgery, expect a tight neck feeling with sutures at incision sites and a possible neck tube to drain fluids. After anesthesia recovery, arrange for a companion to take you home. Dr. Engineer will remove the drain in 2-3 days and the stitches in about a week, monitoring your progress.

After returning home, plan for 1-2 weeks of downtime with a supportive friend or family member. Expect swelling and bruising during your healing phase. Wearing your compression dressing day and night is crucial to reduce swelling and ensure proper neck healing. Use a cold compress to alleviate pain and swelling, and keep your head elevated when lying down.

Around the two-week mark, most patients can resume sedentary work, but strenuous activities should be avoided for 4-6 weeks. Full resolution of swelling may take several months, but once it subsides, you'll appreciate the remarkable results of your neck lift.

Neck Lift FAQs

What are the risks of a neck lift?

A neck lift has the same risks as any surgery, including infection, bleeding, reaction to anesthesia, and blood clots. Neck lift surgery can also include complications such as tightness in the neck, numbness or change of sensation (usually temporary), and lumpiness in the neck skin.
