What is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift is a surgical procedure aimed at enhancing the appearance of the neck and jawline. Dr. Vitolo utilizes unique excision and liposuction techniques to remove excess skin and fat, tighten underlying muscles and improve the contour of the neck and jawline. This procedure effectively addresses issues like a double chin, loose skin and jowls, resulting in a smoother, more refined neck profile.

Benefits

• Reduction of excess skin and fat in the neck area
• Improved jawline definition and contour
• Minimization of wrinkles, creases and banding in the neck
• Enhanced overall facial harmony and a youthful appearance

Ideal Candidates

Good candidates for a neck lift procedure are men and women, typically in their 40s or older, who:

• Have loose skin or excess fat in the neck area
• Have a double chin
• Desire a more youthful and defined neck and jawline
• Are in good general health and have realistic expectations

Contraindications may include certain medical conditions and smoking, which can affect the healing process.

Before & Afters

Patients typically notice significant improvement in the neck area shortly after surgery, with full results becoming visible as swelling and bruising subside. The outcome is a smoother, more youthful neck contour that complements your overall facial appearance.

FAQs

Will there be visible scars after a neck lift?

Dr. Vitolo carefully places small incisions using techniques designed to minimize and conceal scarring. Any scars are typically hidden beneath the chin or behind the ears and fade significantly over time.

Can I get a neck lift at the same time as another procedure?

Yes! For a more complete rejuvenation, many of our clients opt to combine their neck lift with another cosmetic procedure such as a brow lift, blepharoplasty or facelift. By undergoing both at the same time, you can reduce your total downtime from the procedures. 

Can a neck lift be done without general anesthesia?

Neck lifts are typically performed under general anesthesia, but in some cases, local anesthesia with sedation may be an option. Dr. Vitolo will discuss the best approach for your specific case.

Are the results of a neck lift permanent?

While a neck lift provides long-lasting results, it does not stop the aging process. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and proper skin care can help prolong the results.
