A neck lift, performed by Dr. Manuel Lopez, addresses sagging skin, muscle banding, and excess fat in your neck. This procedure can rejuvenate your appearance by eliminating jowls and refining your jawline. If you’re seeking a more youthful, defined neck contour, a neck lift can help achieve the look you desire with lasting, natural results.
Make Your Neck Look
Youthful and Defined
A neck lift is a cosmetic procedure that improves the appearance of the neck and jawline by addressing issues like loose, sagging skin, excess fat, and muscle banding. During the procedure, incisions are made behind the ears and under the chin. The surgeon then tightens the underlying muscles, removes excess fat, and repositions the skin for a smoother, more youthful contour. This results in a rejuvenated neck profile, reducing the signs of aging and providing a more defined, elegant appearance.
Neck Lift Treats:
- Sagging or loose skin on the neck
- Excess fat deposits under the chin
- Muscle banding in the neck
- Jowls along the jawline
- Double chin appearance
- Wrinkles and fine lines on the neck
- Lack of definition between the neck and jawline
Neck Lift + Neck Liposuction
Combining a neck lift with neck liposuction can enhance the results of both procedures, providing a more comprehensive approach to rejuvenating the neck area. Neck liposuction targets and removes excess fat deposits, particularly under the chin and along the jawline. This step helps to sculpt and refine the contours of the neck, creating a smoother and more defined appearance. Neck liposuction can complement the tightening and lifting effects of a neck lift.
Neck Lift + Neck Liposuction:
- Enhances the definition and smoothness of the neck and jawline
- Reduces sagging skin, wrinkles, and fine lines for a more youthful look
- Provides durable improvements that can last for many years
- Tailored to individual aesthetic goals and concerns
- Enhances self-esteem by rejuvenating overall facial harmony
- Achieves a natural-looking outcome that complements facial features

- Should be in good overall health without significant medical conditions

Your Neck Lift Surgery
During your neck lift, you may receive local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. Dr. Lopez makes small incisions behind your ears and under your chin. Through these incisions, he accesses the underlying neck muscles and tightens them to address muscle banding and create a more defined contour. If there are excess fat deposits, Dr. Lopez uses liposuction to remove them, sculpting a sleeker jawline and reducing the appearance of a double chin.
After the muscles and fat have been addressed, Dr. Lopez carefully trims away any surplus skin. He then repositions the remaining skin for a smoother, firmer appearance. Fine sutures are used to close the incisions. Following the procedure, you can expect some swelling and bruising, which typically subside over a few weeks. Dr. Lopez and his team provide detailed post-operative instructions to help manage your recovery and ensure optimal results.
Neck Lift Recovery & Aftercare
Following your neck lift with Dr. Lopez, you will experience some swelling and bruising, which are normal and typically peak within the first few days. Dr. Lopez may recommend wearing a compression garment to support the neck area and minimize swelling. For the initial phase of recovery, you’ll need to rest with your head elevated and avoid strenuous activities.
Dr. Lopez will provide specific post-operative instructions, including how to care for your incisions, manage discomfort, and when to schedule follow-up appointments. Over the following weeks, swelling will gradually subside, revealing improved neck contours. The results continue to refine as any residual bruising fades, usually within two to three weeks. By this time, you’ll begin to appreciate a smoother, more youthful neck profile.
