As we age, one of the first places to show visible signs of time is the neck. Sagging skin, loose muscles, and the accumulation of fat can lead to what many refer to as “turkey neck” or the loss of a defined jawline. While skincare products and non-invasive treatments may offer temporary improvement, they often fall short of delivering the dramatic and lasting results many patients desire. That’s where a neck lift comes in—a trusted solution that can rejuvenate your appearance and restore youthful contours.
At Chadwell Facial Plastics, Dr. Jon Chadwell specializes in facial procedures that deliver natural-looking results, and a neck lift is one of the most effective options for targeting sagging and laxity in the lower face and neck.
What Is a Neck Lift?
A neck lift, also known as lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to tighten and smooth the neck area. It addresses multiple age-related concerns such as excess fat, muscle banding (vertical neck lines), and loose or crepey skin. By removing or repositioning tissue and tightening the underlying muscles, a neck lift can dramatically improve your profile and help you look years younger.
The procedure is often done in combination with a lower facelift or other facial procedures to ensure a harmonious and balanced result, though it can be performed on its own if the signs of aging are isolated to the neck.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Neck Lift?
Ideal candidates for a neck lift are healthy individuals who are beginning to notice:
- Sagging skin beneath the chin or along the jawline
- Excess fat or “double chin” appearance
- Neck bands or visible muscle separation
- Loss of neck definition despite a healthy weight
Many patients who consider a neck lift are in their 40s to 60s, but suitability depends more on your skin quality and overall health than your age. During your consultation, Dr. Chadwell will assess your goals and anatomy to determine if this is the best treatment for you.
The Lasting Benefits of a Neck Lift
Unlike non-surgical treatments, a neck lift provides long-term, noticeable improvement. Here are just a few of the key benefits:
- Tightens sagging skin for a smoother, firmer appearance
- Improves jawline definition by reducing jowls and excess fat
- Enhances overall facial harmony, especially when combined with other procedures
- Boosts confidence by reversing signs of aging that skincare alone can’t correct
- Provides results that can last 10–15 years with proper maintenance
The scars from a neck lift are well-hidden, typically placed behind the ears or under the chin, and fade significantly over time.
