Neck Lift: Restoring Definition with Subtle Precision

The lower face and neck work in unison to define overall facial harmony. With time, the supportive structures beneath the skin relax, and the once crisp angle beneath the jaw softens. A neck lift addresses these changes through targeted refinement rather than excess tension or obvious tightening.

Through small, concealed incisions placed behind the ear and occasionally beneath the chin, deeper muscle layers are gently restored to their natural position. Excess skin is redraped rather than pulled, maintaining natural movement and avoiding an artificial contour.

For patients with fuller necks, selective fat contouring may be incorporated to restore light and shadow. This serves to create an elegant jawline rather than erasing individuality.

A neck lift can be performed alone or in combination with a lower facelift to achieve continuous, balanced rejuvenation. In either setting, the guiding principle remains the same: subtle precision that restores structure and proportion, not overcorrection.

Recovery is often straightforward. Mild bruising and swelling resolve within 10–14 days, and results continue to refine over several months as the tissues settle.

A well-performed neck lift draws the eye upward, not to the surgery, but to the person. It restores definition where it matters most, in ways that feel entirely your own.
