Deep Neck Lift

Sculpt, Tighten, and Redefine Your Neckline
The Deep Neck Lift is a highly advanced surgical procedure designed to dramatically rejuvenate the neck by addressing fat, loose skin, and aging muscles beneath the surface. Unlike mini or surface-level lifts, this technique recontours the entire neck structure, providing a sharper jawline, a tighter profile, and long-lasting results. At Zeal Plastic Surgery Clinic, Dr. Joe Baroud specializes in deep neck lift surgery—offering natural yet powerful transformations for patients seeking true definition and a graceful neckline.

  • Deep Neck Lift is ideal for correcting:

    • Heavy or “full” neck appearance
    • Significant skin laxity and sagging
    • Vertical platysma bands (“turkey neck”)
    • Loss of jawline and chin definition
    • Fat accumulation beneath the chin and under the muscle
    • Neck aging that doesn’t match a youthful face

  • Ideal candidates for a Deep Neck Lift:

    • Are typically over 45 years old
    • Have moderate to severe neck aging
    • Are healthy and non-smoking
    • Have strong underlying bone structure (or may combine with chin implant)
    • Want long-lasting, visible improvement of the neck and jawline
Zeal Approach to Mini Facelifts
At Zeal Plastic Surgery Clinic, Dr. Joe Baroud performs deep neck lifts using a comprehensive deep-plane approach, correcting not only surface skin but also the underlying muscles and fat pads. This includes: Platysma muscle tightening and repositioning (platysmaplasty), Removal of deep central and subplatysmal fat, Definition of the cervicomental angle (where the neck meets the chin), Optional submental liposuction or chin augmentation for enhanced contour.

Incisions are discreetly placed behind the ears and beneath the chin, resulting in well-hidden scars and beautifully natural contours.

  • Results & Longevity
    A deep neck lift offers some of the most long-lasting results in facial plastic surgery, often maintaining improvement for 10–15 years. The neck appears smoother, firmer, and more defined—with dramatic rejuvenation that blends naturally with the face.
