A neck lift is similar to the neck portion of the facelift but does not focus on treating the upper face. The incisions may either be similar to the facelift incision or confined to the incision below the chin. Suture suspensions may also be employed in combination with the lift to produce a more dramatic effect. The recovery and results are very similar to the facelift.
A neck lift can be combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures if you desire more comprehensive results. a neck lift can be performed along with a brow lift, eyelid surgery, lip augmentation, and even non-surgical treatment options like Botox injections.
There will be some swelling and bruising around the neck following your neck lift, but these issues are to be expected and will dissipate over time. A surgical garment may need to be worn during the first part of your recovery period. Most patients will need around two weeks of recovery before they can resume most of their normal daily activities. More strenuous activity like exercise should be avoided for longer.

A facelift corrects the sagging of the skin on the face, while a neck lift is limited to the neck and jawline. The best way to find out which procedure will meet your needs is to schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Jonathan Heistein.
For most patients, the recovery time following a neck lift is about two weeks.

Dr. Heistein is able to conceal most scars in the natural creases near the ears. As no two patients are exactly alike, Dr. Heistein will discuss the plans for your surgery, including any concerns you may have about scaring, with you during your consultation and pre-operative appointments.
Generally, yes, but it depends on the overall health of the patient as well as the length and difficulty of the planned procedures.

Although some procedures have relatively routine fees, each person’s individual situation needs to be considered after a thorough examination and review of goals and expectations. Quotes are given on the day of the consultation. Fees for cosmetic surgery are expected to be paid in full 2 weeks prior to surgery. Patient financing through approved programs are available if needed.
It is important to consider factors other than cost when searching for a doctor to perform your surgery. Surgical techniques and experience vary greatly from doctor to doctor. When searching for a doctor to perform your neck lift, you should look for a plastic surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (not all surgeons performing plastic surgery are) and to find a surgeon who will spend time with you to find out your goals for your surgery.
An ASPS member surgeon has fulfilled the following requirements:
Many physicians who perform cosmetic procedures will claim board certification, but it is important to clarify which board. The American Board of Plastic Surgery is a part of the American Board of Medical Specialties and has been in existence since 1937. Certification by this board signifies that the surgeon has completed an approved plastic surgery residency, has passed a comprehensive written examination, and has passed an oral examination. Following this, he or she is then required to maintain certification through case submissions, continuing medical education and written examinations. This rigorous process ensures that those who identify themselves as a diplomat of the American Board of Plastic Surgery are held to the highest standards of patient safety, patient satisfaction and ethical behavior.
