With a meticulous, sophisticated approach, she removes excess skin and tightens muscles, achieving natural, tasteful results. Reclaim your confidence and feel refreshed—because you deserve to look as vibrant as you feel.
Achieve a sculpted, elegant neck profile
A neck lift tightens sagging skin, smooths wrinkles, and refines the contours of your neck and jawline. Over time, aging, weight changes, and genetics can cause loose skin, muscle laxity, and excess fat in this area. A neck lift addresses these concerns by removing excess skin, tightening underlying muscles, and sculpting a youthful, elegant profile. If you’re bothered by a double chin, “turkey neck,” or loss of definition, this procedure can help you feel refreshed and confident in your appearance.
Possible reasons to consider a neck lift:
- You notice sagging skin or a “turkey neck” that makes you self-conscious
- You have excess fat under your chin that doesn’t improve with diet or exercise
- You see deep wrinkles or creases that make your neck look aged
- You feel like your neck and jawline lack definition
- You want a smoother, more youthful transition between your face and neck
- You’ve lost skin elasticity due to aging, weight loss, or genetics
What can I expect during the consultation?
During your consultation, Dr. Slack will take the time to understand your concerns, goals, and expectations. She will examine your neck, jawline, and overall facial balance to determine the best approach for natural, refined results. You’ll discuss your medical history, lifestyle, and any previous procedures to ensure a safe, effective plan. Dr. Slack will explain your surgical options, recovery timeline, and expected outcomes, and answer any questions. By the end of your visit, you’ll have a treatment plan tailored to your aesthetic goals.
What happens during the neck lift procedure?
Your neck lift with Dr. Slack will be performed under anesthesia to ensure your comfort. She will make small, discreet incisions behind your ears and possibly under your chin. Through these incisions, she will tighten the underlying muscles, remove excess skin, and sculpt a smoother, more defined neckline. If needed, liposuction may be used to refine the jawline and eliminate stubborn fat. Dr. Slack’s technique ensures elegant results with minimal scarring. The incisions are then closed with fine sutures for a smooth contour.
What can I expect during recovery after a neck lift?
In the first few days after your neck lift, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort. Dr. Slack will provide detailed post-operative instructions, including how to care for your incisions and manage any discomfort with prescribed or over-the-counter medication. You’ll need to keep your head elevated, avoid bending or turning your neck excessively, and wear a supportive garment as directed to minimize swelling.
Most patients feel well enough to move around the house within a day or two, but you should plan for at least a week of rest. By the second week, swelling and bruising will begin to subside, and you may feel comfortable returning to non-strenuous activities. Most patients resume work within 10-14 days, though full healing continues over the next several months. Dr. Slack will monitor your progress through follow-up appointments to ensure a smooth recovery.
Will a neck lift get rid of a double chin?
A neck lift can improve the appearance of a double chin if it is caused by excess skin or muscle laxity. If submental fat (fat beneath the chin) is a primary concern, Dr. Slack may incorporate liposuction during the procedure to enhance your results. For younger patients with good skin elasticity but stubborn fat under the chin, liposuction alone may be a suitable alternative.
Will I have visible scars?
Dr. Slack uses meticulous techniques to place incisions in discreet locations, such as behind the ears and sometimes under the chin.
These incisions typically heal well and become barely noticeable over time. She will also provide scar care recommendations, including silicone treatments and sun protection, to help minimize their appearance.
