Neck Lift
Few body areas are exposed to as much turning and pulling as the neck, which is why signs of aging can appear there so rapidly. From loose skin to banding, these concerns can dramatically impact how patients feel about their appearance. A neck lift allows patients to rejuvenate the neck and jawline area, restoring a smoother, younger appearance.
What Is a Neck Lift?
A neck lift is a powerful plastic surgery option that tightens and slims down the neck while contouring the jawline. The neck’s skin is particularly vulnerable to rapidly showing signs of aging. Every turn of the head stretches the skin, and looking up or down forms wrinkles and lines. A neck lift addresses these issues and more through several key changes, including:
- Removing excess skin
- Tightening the underlying tissues and muscles
- Reducing muscle banding
- Removing pockets of fatty deposits
- Repositioning the skin
- Eliminating jowls around the jawline

Procedures
At his practice in Beverly Hills, Dr. Brent offers several modern forms of neck lifts. Using his experience and expertise, Dr. Brent has improved on previous techniques to deliver exceptionally stunning results. Two of his favored methods include his signature “Neck-Lace®” method and a Corset Platysmaplasty.
Traditional Neck Lift: Tightens up the neck and restores definition to the lower jaw area.
Neck Lift with Liposuction: Has all the benefits of a traditional neck lift but can remove stubborn or uneven pockets of fat at the same time.
Combined Neck Lift: Involves combining a neck lift with another procedure to build comprehensive results that reduce signs of aging across multiple face areas.
The Necklace Neck Lift
Dr. Brent’s Necklace Neck Lift is a cutting-edge procedure designed to improve the firmness and contour of your neck, particularly under the chin. By removing excess deposits from the neck and jawline, this technique makes it easier to achieve tighter, more youthful skin.
What sets the Necklace Neck Lift apart is its focus on muscle aging and vertical banding in the neck. Traditionally, neck lifts involve tightening the muscles along the center of the neck. However, this method has limitations.
Dr. Brent’s aproach is different. He interweaves the muscles together in a broader pattern, similar to tightening a shoelace. This technique distributes tension over a larger surface area, reducing strain on any single suture placement site. The result? A smoother, more permanent outcome.
FAQs
Is a neck lift right for me?
The most important factor to consider is what parts of the face you want to address. Dr. Brent’s neck lift specifically addresses signs of aging from the lower neck up to (and including) the jawline. By starting with the consultation, you can learn if a neck lift is right for you or whether a different procedure is. Additionally, it is important for candidates to be in good health and nonsmoking. These factors are vital for promoting a safe surgery and smooth recovery.
What is the recovery and downtime like?
Following your neck lift, some swelling, bruising, and pain are normal. The pain is typically easy to manage, even with over-the-counter medication. You may also receive prescriptions for anti-inflammatory medication to control swelling. This initial period of about 2 weeks is best spent at home away from work and physical activity.
While recovering, your post-procedure instructions will help create a smooth experience. You will receive full information on how to care for the surgical sites and when to come in for your follow-up visits. After the first 2 weeks, you can make a gradual return to your full routine. Start with light activity like walking, and then after about 2 months you can get back to your usual routine.
When will I see my results?
Your initial neck lift results should start to be apparent around the time you finish downtime. The majority of the swelling and bruising should fade within 2 weeks, revealing your slimmer, contoured neck and jawline.
However, residual swelling is still present for several more weeks. While not highly visible, it is important to remember that your final results appear only once this swelling fully resolves. Then, the tissues should be settled and look great for up to 10 years or more. If results begin to fade, we also provide nonsurgical treatments to help keep your skin youthful, such as laser treatments.
