Neck Lift Information, Before and After Photos
provided by Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in La Jolla

You may be a candidate for a neck lift if you have excess skin and/or wrinkles on your neck or prominent neck “banding” that gives an aged appearance. There are two varieties of neck lifts. In a younger patient without a lot of excess skin, an incision is made under the chin only. The excess fat is removed and the neck is contoured by tightening the muscles. In an older patient, Dr. Kearney makes the incision behind the bottom part of your ear and extends it into your hair line to pull up and remove the excess skin and tissue. Neck lifts are performed under local anesthesia with light sedation or general anesthesia if you prefer. Neck lifts are often done in conjunction with a facelift in an older patient. You may go home the same day the procedure is performed. Patients usually return to work within 1 week following the procedure and can resume normal activity within 3-4 weeks.
