Neck Lift
Restore Youthful Neck Contours with Precision
About This Treatment & Who is it For
A Neck Lift, also known as lower rhytidectomy or platysmaplasty, is a surgical cosmetic procedure designed to improve visible signs of aging in the neck and jawline. This transformation includes tightening loose skin, repositioning underlying tissues, and removing excess fat to create a smoother, firmer, and more youthful neck profile. At YFACE Clinic, our board‑certified plastic surgeons perform neck lift surgery using refined surgical techniques to restore definition and balance between the neck and face. This procedure is ideal for patients whose neck appearance no longer matches the vitality of the rest of their face. Patients typically consider a neck lift when the neck’s appearance doesn’t align with youthfulness and cannot be corrected with non‑surgical treatments alone.Neck lift surgery is suited for individuals experiencing early to advanced signs of aging in the lower face and neck, including:
- Excess loose or sagging neck skin
- Accumulation of fatty deposits under the chin
- Loss of a defined jawline or neck contour
- Patients who want long‑lasting structural improvement rather than temporary nonsurgical results
Key Features

Pre-Operation Essentials
Your transformation begins with a comprehensive consultation and evaluation
Review your medical history, neck anatomy, and aesthetic goals
- Discuss anesthesia options (IV sedation or general anesthesia)
- Design a surgical plan tailored to your anatomy and expectations
Clear instructions will be provided for medications, smoking cessation, and pre‑operative preparation to optimize safety and healing.
Post-Operation Essentials
A gentle bandage may be placed around your head and neck to minimize swelling and bruising.
You may have a small drain to remove excess fluid under the skin.
Keep your head elevated and avoid bending or twisting the neck during early recovery.
- Expect mild swelling, bruising, and temporary tightness — typically improving over 1–2 weeks.
- Your surgeon will provide detailed aftercare guidance, including wound care and activity restrictions, to ensure the best possible outcome.

Neck lift surgery provides long‑lasting results that can be enjoyed for many years, complementing overall facial balance.
Discomfort is typically managed with medications. Most patients report mild to moderate pain during early recovery.
Many patients return to daily routines within 1–2 weeks, with full activity resuming as advised by your surgeon.
No, it rejuvenates structural signs of aging, but your natural aging process continues.
Non‑surgical options (e.g., Botox for neck bands, laser skin tightening, fillers, Kybella) can delay the need for surgery but cannot replace a neck lift’s structural results.
