Neck Lift

A neck lift (also known as a lower rhytidectomy) is a cosmetic procedure designed to reduce the signs of aging in the neck and jawline. It addresses common concerns such as:

• Loose, sagging skin on the neck
• Excess fat under the chin
• Muscle banding around the neck, which can cause an unflattering appearance

This procedure is often performed with other cosmetic treatments, like facelifts or brow lifts, for a more comprehensive result.

If you’re in good general health and have begun to notice signs of aging in your neck area that you’d like to improve, you may be a good candidate for a neck lift. Ideal candidates typically:

• Have loose, sagging neck skin
• Are experiencing fat accumulation beneath the chin
• Want to reduce the appearance of neck banding

It’s also important to have realistic expectations and understand that while a neck lift can create a more youthful appearance, it cannot stop the natural aging process.

At Pinnacle ENT, our dedicated team of surgeons will evaluate your individual needs and discuss the best approach for your neck lift. The procedure typically involves small incisions behind the ears and sometimes beneath the chin, depending on the extent of the lift. During the surgery:

• Excess skin is removed
• Muscles are tightened
• Fat may be sculpted or repositioned to improve contour

Most patients can return to work or normal activities within two weeks of their procedure, though complete healing may take longer.

Recovery time varies from patient to patient, but most individuals can expect swelling and bruising to subside within a couple of weeks. Following your procedure, our team will provide you with aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery process.

A neck lift offers long-lasting results, helping you maintain a rejuvenated, youthful appearance for years. However, it’s important to maintain a healthy lifestyle and skincare routine to prolong these results.
