Refining the Lines That Define You

Tightened, elevated contours are the goal of a good neck lift. The neck should be easily distinguished from the jawline, lending an elegant transition from the shoulders to the head. Whether the culprit is excess fat or excess skin, Dr. Fisher's neck lift effectively removes whatever is preventing your neck from looking slender and toned. The end result is a naturally smooth neck that carries no signs of tampering.

Is a Neck Lift the Right Choice for You?

In determining if you should receive a neck lift, there are many factors to consider. While your personal health plays a role, there ultimately remains the fulcrum of the decision: is a neck lift the correct procedure to improve your appearance?

For some, there may be significant facial volume loss more so around the temples, eyebrows, and cheeks, ultimately not giving the patients as dramatic of a lift. In these cases, patients look to Dr. Fisher for some of the best results from a facelift Beverly Hills residents can rely on.

To help with determining whether a facelift may be optimal or if a neck lift will suffice, the following is a list of cosmetic issues corrected by a neck lift:

  • Hanging skin on the neck
  • Wrinkles on the neck and near the chin
  • Bands on the neck
  • Excess fat in the neck, in which case liposuction will be part of the procedure

Dr. Fisher's Surgical Philosophy

While many supposed plastic surgeons in the US and around the world determine candidacy simply by a patient's willingness to pay, Dr. Fisher has a particular surgical philosophy. Following an initial consultation, Dr. Fisher's surgical plan must be in concert with the goals and desires of his patient, and he must be confident that he will achieve such results.

If Dr. Fisher accepts you for cosmetic surgery in Beverly Hills, it is because decades of experience have shown him that he can truly help you get the results you want.

Your Personalized Consultation

“Before planning a surgical procedure, I initially review my patient's aesthetic facial frame, which contains important aspects of beauty, such as skin quality, hair color and style, as well as eyebrow color and density. Using comprehensive facial analysis to map out an effective treatment plan, it finally becomes a reality for my patients that their cosmetic problems can be corrected.”

— Dr. Garth Fisher

Neck Lift FAQs

What does a neck lift procedure involve?

A neck lift typically addresses excess skin, fat, and the underlying neck muscles, known as the platysma, to restore a clean, defined jawline and smooth neck contour. Liposuction is often incorporated when excess fat is a contributing factor.

What are platysmal bands, and can a neck lift correct them?

Platysmal bands are vertical cords that become visible on the neck as the underlying muscle separates with age. A neck lift can address these by tightening and repositioning the platysma muscle, restoring a smoother neck profile.

What type of anesthesia is used?

A neck lift is typically performed under general anesthesia, though local anesthesia with sedation may be appropriate in less extensive cases.

How long does the procedure take?

A standalone neck lift generally takes two to three hours. When combined with a facelift or other facial procedures the operating time increases accordingly.

Where are the incisions placed?

Incisions are typically made behind the ears and in the natural crease beneath the chin, keeping scars well hidden within the hairline and natural skin folds.

What does recovery involve?

Swelling and bruising are expected in the first one to two weeks. Most patients return to light activity within ten to fourteen days. A compression garment is commonly worn during the early recovery period to support healing and reduce swelling.

How long do neck lift results last?

Results are long lasting, though aging continues after surgery. Most patients enjoy a meaningfully improved neckline for many years before any further correction might be considered.

Can a neck lift address loose skin under the chin specifically?

Yes. Excess skin and fat beneath the chin, sometimes called a double chin or turkey neck, are among the most common concerns a neck lift addresses. The submental incision allows direct access to this area for precise correction.

How is a neck lift different from liposuction of the neck alone?

Liposuction removes excess fat but does not address loose or sagging skin. A neck lift is appropriate when skin laxity is present alongside or independent of excess fat, as it tightens and repositions the underlying structures for a more comprehensive result.

At what age do most patients seek a neck lift?

There is no typical age. Patients generally pursue the procedure when changes to the neck become a meaningful concern, which varies widely depending on genetics, weight history, and sun exposure. Candidacy is based on anatomy and goals rather than age.
