Neck Lift
What is a Neck Lift?
A neck lift is a surgical procedure to correct sagging skin, excess fat, and muscle banding in the neck and jawline. Over time, loss of skin elasticity and weakened muscles can lead to a poorly defined jaw, “turkey neck,” or vertical neck bands.
At TOPS, we use advanced techniques to restore a firm, youthful neck contour while preserving natural facial expression.
Recovery Time
- First few days: Moderate swelling and tightness. Compression band required.
- Week 1: Sutures removed; light activities resume.
- Week 3: Swelling subsides; results become visible.
- 3 months: Final results (skin fully settled).
It is recommended to avoid direct sun exposure and intense physical activity during the first few weeks to ensure optimal recovery.

Neck lift surgery varies depending on the patient’s needs and can be combined with other techniques to optimize results.

Platysma muscle plication: The neck muscles are repositioned to eliminate vertical bands and improve firmness.
Excess skin removal: Loose skin is excised and the area is tightened to achieve a rejuvenated appearance.
Minimal and strategic incisions: Made behind the ears and under the chin to conceal any scarring.
