What Is the Neck Lift?

The neck lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure that enables Dr. Rogers to improve the appearance of your neck by removing excess skin, tightening the underlying muscles, and improving the contour of your jawline. The procedure is often performed in conjunction with a facelift, as the two procedures can work together to create a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Thanks to Dr. Rogers’ extensive surgical experience, he’s able to customize his patients’ treatment plan, combining procedures, creating excitingly comprehensive results, and enabling you to avoid the need for multiple recovery periods.

Additionally, our robust selection of procedural choices enables us to complement your neck lift with a bevy of non-surgical options, each one having the ability to help you both look and feel your very best.

How the Neck Lift Can Help

While it’s quite common to notice that the aging process has impacted your facial appearance, it’s also true that the passage of time can take its toll on the neck and jawline, as well. Neck lift surgery is an ideal way to overcome some of life’s most common cosmetic frustrations, and Dr. Rogers is adept at working closely with patients to ensure that his results go above and beyond their expectations.

Some of the reasons our patients love the neck lift include:

  • Improved appearance
  • Long-lasting results
  • Increased self-confidence
  • Customized results
  • Better defined jawline
  • Minimal scarring

Is the Neck Lift Right for Me?

A neck lift is an ideal procedure for healthy individuals, aged 40 and above, who are concerned about the visible signs of aging in the neck area such as sagging skin, wrinkles, or a double chin. Good candidates for a neck lift are those who are in good overall physical and mental health, are non-smokers and have realistic expectations about the results that can be achieved.

The Day of Your Neck Lift

Keeping You Comfortable

A neck lift procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia, which means that you will be completely asleep and won't feel any pain or discomfort during the surgery. Generally, a neck lift can take anywhere from two to four hours to complete. The details of your procedure will, of course, vary according to your customized surgical plan. 

Dr. Rogers’ Technique

During the procedure, Dr. Rogers will make an incision underneath your chin, enabling him to tighten the muscles and remove any excess skin or fat. In some cases, Dr. Rogers will place the incision behind your ears to further enhance the contour of your neck and jawline. Once the work is done, he will meticulously close your incisions.

After the Surgery

Once your procedure is over, you’ll be moved to the recovery area, where you will spend a short time resting. Neck lift surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure, so you will be able to return home on the same day as your surgery, though you will need a friend to help drive you, as the anesthesia will still be wearing off.

Your Recovery Experience

Most patients can return to work and light activities within one to two weeks after their neck lift procedure, but more strenuous activities, such as exercise or heavy lifting, should be avoided for several weeks. We’ll give you a very detailed recovery timeline that helps you clearly understand when you can expect to rejoin certain activities. Most patients find that they are fully healed and able to enjoy their final results within about six to eight weeks, but your recovery period will depend on the particulars of your bespoke surgical plan.
