Neck Lift

A Youthful Neckline Can Reverse Time

Over time, the skin, muscles, and structural fatty tissue in the face lose tone and start to sag. This can create an unpleasing double chin or “hangdog” look that can make you look much older than you feel. A customized neck lift performed by the board-certified and highly-skilled surgeons at The Piazza Center in Austin, Texas, can rejuvenate your neckline and help you Live Confidently. 

What Is a Neck Lift?

Bypassing the face almost entirely, a neck lift manipulates the platysma muscle in the neck, removes unwanted fatty or glandular tissue, and leaves a crisp, snug neck contour. A neck lift will remove any traces of a double chin and vertical or horizontal neck banding.  During the procedure, your surgeon makes a small incision under the chin and removes excess skin and fatty tissue. Then, they will carefully restore the platysma muscles by sewing them together in a more youthful configuration. In cases where excess skin is considerable, incisions may be made behind the ear or hairline. 

Will a Neck Lift Help Me?

The best way to understand if a neck lift can make you look the age you feel is to have an in-depth consultation with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons. Together, you will discuss your aesthetic goals and insecurities. Your physician will conduct a thorough examination of your head and neck and review your medical history. Based on the gathered information, your surgeon will determine if a neck lift could help you. They will then explain the procedure in depth and answer any questions you may have so that you can make an empowered decision.

Common Reasons for a Neck Lift

Though every case is unique, there are certain similar motivations among patients who seek this procedure. If you identify with any of the below, contact us for a consultation:

  • You have a sagging neck area, but no major signs of aging
  • You have a double chin, either because of age or genetics. This double chin persists despite diet and exercise
  • You have vertical or horizontal neck bandin
  • You have jowls or a “turkey neck”

What Results Can I Expect?

After a neck lift, patients enjoy an elegant facial profile that hews to the contours of their jawline. This procedure has a rejuvenating effect that extends to the whole face, head, and neck, turning back the clock and making patients appear years younger. 

This stunning and realistic new look gives patients a renewed zest for life, increasing their daily joy and bolstering their self-esteem. After a neck lift, Piazza Center patients are able to Live Confidently with ease.

An Exceptional Recovery Process

Dr. Piazza and his expert team of surgeons and medical professionals stand out when it comes to recovery. The Piazza Center delivers a high-touch recovery experience, hand-holding each patient until healing is complete. Our surgeons dedicate a significant amount of time to recovering patients, and schedule multiple follow-up visits long after healing has occurred to monitor surgical outcomes and patient happiness. 

Full recovery from a neck lift takes 4-6 weeks on average, though most patients can return to light desk work and socializing around two weeks. Vigorous exercise is to be avoided until cleared by your physician. Prescription pain management is typically necessary for the first few post-operative days, but after that, over-the-counter pain relievers tend to be more than enough.  Your surgeon will provide you with a customized recovery guide, and inform you of what steps you need to take to ensure optimal results.
