What is Neck Lift?

A Neck Lift, or Neck Tuck™, is a surgical procedure that refines the lower face and neck by tightening loose platysma muscles, removing excess fat, and redraping sagging skin. Incisions are discreetly placed behind the ears—and sometimes under the chin—so scars are virtually undetectable once healed. The result is a smoother neckline, sharper jaw definition, and an overall rejuvenated appearance without the more extensive incisions of a full facelift.

Because the focus is limited to the jawline and neck, recovery is typically quicker and more comfortable. Most patients do not require surgical drains, and swelling or bruising usually subsides within the first couple of weeks. The procedure can be performed as a stand-alone treatment or combined with complementary procedures such as chin liposuction or facial fat grafting for enhanced harmony.
