Neck Lift

Sculpt, Tighten, and Redefine Your Neck
Weather you are dealing with a sagging neck or double chin, neck aging shows up differently for everyone, which is why a personalized approach is essential. At Zeal Plastic Surgery Clinic, Dr. Joe Baroud designs each neck lift to suit your individual needs—whether you're looking to refine your jawline, tighten loose skin, or restore youthful definition. The result is a smoother, more sculpted neckline that enhances your natural beauty without looking overdone.

Neck Lift Procedures

Neck lifts can be tailored to suit different stages of aging, from early signs to more advanced concerns.

For younger patients or those with mild jowls and early sagging, a minimally invasive approach using smaller incisions can effectively remove excess fat and tighten the skin. This option offers subtle contouring with a shorter downtime of 5–7 days, and results that typically last 5 to 8 years.

In cases of more significant aging—such as severe neck laxity, visible bands, or deeper fat deposits—a more comprehensive neck lift is recommended. This advanced technique goes beyond the surface, addressing muscles, deep fat layers, and skin for a complete structural rejuvenation. While recovery takes longer—around 10 to 14 days—the results are more dramatic and can last 10 to 15 years.

Each procedure is personalized to your anatomy and goals, helping restore a natural, youthful contour to the neck and jawline.

  • Neck Lift is ideal for:

    • Loose or hanging neck skin (“turkey neck”)
    • Fat accumulation under the chin (double chin)
    • Muscle banding (visible platysma cords)
    • Jawline and neck definition loss
    • Neck aging not matching facial appearance

  • Ideal candidates for a Neck Lift:

    • Are bothered by sagging skin, muscle bands, or fat under your chin and along the neck
    • Have lost jawline definition due to aging or weight changes
