What Is A Neck Lift?

A neck lift is a surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the appearance of the neck. This transformative intervention addresses common concerns such as sagging skin, excess fat, and muscle banding to create a more youthful and smoother contour in the neck region. By precisely addressing these aesthetic issues, a neck lift can effectively reverse signs of aging and restore a more defined and graceful neck profile. Our patented SWIFT® Lift is a deep plane necklift performed in the office.

Is A Neck Lift Right For Me?

A neck lift can be the ideal solution for individuals experiencing concerns such as sagging skin, excess fat, or muscle laxity in the neck area, resulting in an aged or less-defined appearance. If you are bothered by these signs of aging, a neck lift may suit you. It's essential to schedule a consultation with The Warner Institute so we can discuss your specific concerns and explore the best approach for achieving your aesthetic goals.

The Neck Lift Procedure – What To Expect

At the Warner Institute, our necklift procedures are performed under local anesthesia – The SWIFT® Lift. This procedure can be performed under general anesthesia in our surgery center, depending on the patient's preference. The process begins with incisions strategically placed either behind your ears or under the chin, which are carefully concealed within the natural contours of your skin. These incisions allow us to access the underlying structures of your neck. We then remove excess fat, tighten or reposition neck muscles, and trim surplus skin. The precise techniques used will depend on your specific needs. 

This surgery generally takes about two hours, but the duration may vary based on the extent of the procedure. While you may experience some discomfort during recovery, we aim to minimize any pain, and you'll receive proper post-operative care instructions to aid in a smooth and comfortable recovery. The simple science behind the neck lift lies in addressing the multiple factors contributing to neck aging, including fat deposits, muscle laxity, and skin elasticity, to achieve a more youthful and refined neck contour.

The Anterior Neck Lift

As part of the neck lift procedure, we also offer a specialized approach known as the 'anterior neck lift.' The anterior neck lift is a specialized component of the neck lift procedure designed to enhance the front profile of the neck and jawline. This technique focuses on addressing specific concerns related to the anterior (front) region of the neck. By targeting this area, we can achieve a more comprehensive rejuvenation, creating a smoother and more youthful appearance.

The key benefits of the anterior neck lift include:

  • Enhancing the definition of the jawline resulting in a more sculpted and youthful appearance.
  • Minimizing or eliminating prominent neck bands or muscle cords that may develop with age.
  • Tightening sagging or loose skin on the front of the neck to provide a more youthful and refined contour.

We will assess your specific concerns and goals during your consultation. If issues in the anterior neck region are prominent, the anterior neck lift may be recommended as part of your comprehensive neck rejuvenation plan. Our expertise ensures that the technique is tailored to your unique needs, providing natural-looking results that enhance your overall facial appearance. To learn more about the anterior neck lift and how it can complement your neck lift procedure, schedule a consultation with The Warner Institute today.

Neck Lift Recovery

Following your neck lift in Chicago, you may experience some swelling and bruising, a standard part of the recovery process. We will provide instructions to manage any discomfort and promote healing. Most patients can return to work and light activities within two weeks, but you should avoid strenuous exercises for a bit longer. You'll have several follow-up appointments with us to monitor your progress, ensuring that your healing is progressing as expected. The goal is to reveal a rejuvenated neck contour that enhances your overall appearance. While you'll begin noticing initial results in the weeks following the procedure, the total refinement of your neck will develop gradually over the subsequent months as swelling subsides and the neck settles into its final, sculpted form. Keep in mind that individual recovery experiences may vary, and it's essential to adhere to your post-operative care plan for optimal results. A consultation with us is the best way to determine if a neck lift suits your specific needs and goals.

Will I have visible scars after a neck lift?

Are there any risks or complications associated with neck lift surgery?

Like any surgical procedure, neck lifts carry risks of complications, including infection, bleeding, scarring, nerve injury, and adverse reactions to anesthesia. It's essential to choose a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon to minimize these risks and ensure optimal outcomes.

Can a neck lift be combined with other cosmetic procedures?

Yes, a neck lift can be combined with other cosmetic procedures to achieve more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Common complementary procedures include facelift surgery, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), chin augmentation, and fat transfer.

How long do the results of a neck lift last?

The results of a neck lift are long-lasting, but they are not permanent. While a neck lift can effectively address signs of aging and provide a more youthful neck contour, the natural aging process continues over time, and some degree of skin laxity may eventually recur. Most patients enjoy the benefits of a neck lift for 7 to 10 years before considering additional procedures.

Can a neck lift correct a double chin or turkey neck?

Yes, a neck lift can effectively address concerns such as a double chin or turkey neck by removing excess fat deposits, tightening loose skin, and improving muscle tone in the neck area. Liposuction may be used to remove excess fat, while skin tightening techniques can create a smoother and more defined neck contour.

Will I have visible scars after a neck lift?

While incisions are necessary during a neck lift, they are typically well-hidden behind the ears and/or under the chin to minimize visible scarring. With proper wound care and scar management techniques, scars from a neck lift tend to fade over time and become less noticeable.
