Understanding Neck Lift Surgery
Over time, natural aging and gravity cause the tissues of the neck to loosen, leading to sagging skin, banding of the neck muscles, and fat accumulation beneath the chin. These changes can alter the definition of the jawline and give the neck an older or heavier appearance.
A neck lift, also known as a lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to address these structural concerns. It typically involves tightening the underlying platysma muscles, removing excess skin, and carefully reducing or repositioning fat deposits. The goal is not just to smooth the surface, but to restore the underlying support of the neck for long-lasting results.
In many cases, Dr. Malek may recommend combining a neck lift with procedures such as a brow lift, eyelid surgery, or fat transfer to other areas of the face. This comprehensive approach allows multiple signs of aging to be treated at once while maintaining natural proportions and balance.
Benefits of a Neck Lift
A neck lift can dramatically enhance the appearance of the lower face and neckline, creating smoother contours and a more defined jawline. For many patients, this procedure helps restore balance between the face and neck, ensuring a more youthful and refreshed overall appearance. In addition to cosmetic improvements, a neck lift can also boost self-confidence by addressing concerns that may not respond to diet, exercise, or non-surgical treatments.
When combined with complementary procedures such as a facelift, brow lift, or eyelid surgery, a neck lift can achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Dr. Malek will choose the best option for anesthesia however intravenous sedation and general anesthesia are generally administered. Neck lifts effect the lower face and jawline as well as the neck.
With an incision made at the front of the earlobe, it continues around the ear and down the lower scalp. The skin is lifted and drawn tighter, slimming the neck and jaw lines. Excess skin will be trimmed, and fatty tissue removed for a younger more defined jaw. This procedure effects the lower face along the jaws and neck.

Neck Lift Recovery
Generally, it will be safe to return to daily activities after 2 weeks of proper recovery. Bruising and swelling are common for the first two days and will begin to fade after. Patients are usually up and about 1-2 days after surgery and bandages are removed on the second or third day. Patients can shower and wash hair normally after the bandages are removed. Keeping your head elevated 2-3 days after surgery will help reduce swelling. It is a good idea to be relatively inactive for the first week of recovery, but patients usually return to work in about 7 to 10 days. Energetic activities that elevate blood pressure should be avoided for several weeks. It is important to protect skin from the sun during the recovery period.
