Neck Lift

What is a Neck Lift? 

A neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that improves visible signs of aging in the jawline and neck. It involves making small incisions behind the ears and under the chin to access and tighten the underlying muscles and remove excess skin and fat.

At Cultura Dermatology and Plastic Surgery, Dr. Kelly Bolden uses this procedure to tighten loose skin, remove excess fat, and enhance the overall contour of the neck and jawline, creating a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Benefits of a Neck Lift

• Enhanced Jawline Contour

  Creates a more defined jawline that frames the face.

• Reduced Sagging and Wrinkles

  Minimizes the appearance of sagging skin and wrinkles on the neck.

• Eliminated Double Chin

  Removes excess fat under the chin, often called a double chin.

• Rejuvenated Appearance

  Offers a more youthful and refreshed look, often making patients look like they have lost weight.

Ideal Candidates for Neck Lift Surgery

The best candidates for neck lift surgery are those looking to restore definition and youthfulness to the lower face and neck. You may be a good candidate if you:

• Have visible signs of aging in the neck
  This includes loose or sagging skin, deep wrinkles, or excess fat beneath the chin and along the jawline.
• Are in good general health
  Healthy individuals tend to recover more smoothly and experience better surgical outcomes.
• Do not smoke
  Smoking can interfere with healing and increase the risk of complications, so non-smokers (or those willing to quit before and after surgery) are ideal candidates.
• Have realistic expectations
  A neck lift can create dramatic improvement, but understanding the natural limitations of surgery is important for long-term satisfaction.

If you’re unsure whether a neck lift is the right procedure for you, Dr. Bolden can evaluate your goals and recommend a personalized approach during your consultation.

Neck Lift Alternatives and Combination Procedures

A neck lift can be performed alone or in combination with other procedures to enhance the overall result, including:

• Liposuction: Removes excess fat deposits in the neck area.
• Facelift: Addresses aging signs on the mid to lower face.
