A neck lift tightens the skin and muscles of the neck and refines the area under the chin. It addresses what creams and treatments cannot: loose platysma muscles that create visible bands, excess skin, and stubborn fat under the jaw. The goal is a smooth neck and a sharp jawline that matches the rest of your face.
Consider a neck lift if you notice:
Some patients need only liposuction under the chin. Others benefit from muscle tightening and skin removal. Dr. Goel will examine your neck and recommend only what you need.
Incisions are hidden behind the ears and sometimes in the natural crease under the chin. Dr. Goel tightens the platysma muscle, removes or sculpts excess fat, and trims loose skin. When the face also shows laxity, a neck lift pairs naturally with a facelift in one surgery and one recovery. Every procedure takes place in an accredited facility.
Expect swelling and tightness for the first week. Most patients return to work within 10 to 14 days. Results continue improving as swelling settles over the following weeks, and the improvement in the jawline is often visible early.
Dr. Goel is a Keck School of Medicine graduate and former Chief Resident in plastic surgery at UC Irvine. He is known for honest recommendations. If a smaller procedure will get you there, that is what he will suggest.
Yes. Many patients have aging that shows mostly in the neck. A standalone neck lift is common.
Incisions sit behind the ears and under the chin where they are very hard to see once healed.
Typically many years. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve the result.
