Book NowHow Is a Neck Lift performed?
A neck lift can be performed under general or local anesthesia. The procedure involves placing incisions around the ears and, if necessary, under the chin. Any isolated areas of fat will first be removed with liposuction. The neck muscles may then be tightened and repositioned to sharpen the neck’s appearance. Sagging or hanging skin is carefully excised, and the remaining skin is tightened to achieve the desired shape and contour. Sutures are placed at the incision area beneath the chin to minimize visible scarring. A neck lift procedure can be combined with other treatments, like laser therapy or a peel, to enhance the skin’s texture and create a radiant look.

Book NowNeck Lift FAQs
Good candidates for a neck lift are individuals who desire to enhance the definition of their neckline, are within 10 – 15 pounds of their ideal body weight, are in good physical health, and have no smoking habits.
Following your neck lift, a dressing will be applied to your face and neck to support the tissues. Dr. Pearce recommends having someone stay with you to help you recover at home. A drain will be present in your neck, which is usually removed after 1 – 2 days. Expect some swelling and bruising over the next few days, which will gradually diminish. To aid the healing process, Dr. Pearce advises sleeping with the head of the bed elevated for 1 – 2 weeks and avoiding twisting or turning the neck. It’s essential not to use ice packs under the neck as this could affect blood flow and lead to tissue damage. Sutures are typically removed about 5 – 7 days after the procedure
Dr. Pearce advises patients to plan for about a week of downtime before going back to work or driving. It’s essential to avoid driving or using heavy machinery if you’re still on prescription pain medications. After one week, most patients can return to office work, but they might still experience swelling. For those with more strenuous jobs, it’s best to return to light duty after one week and continue on light duty for approximately two more weeks.
It will take about six months for the final results from your neck lift procedure to become fully apparent. Although improvement starts within the first few weeks, the swelling takes six months to disappear completely.
