A neck lift is a transformative procedure designed to address visible signs of aging in the neck and jawline. Over time, factors like skin laxity, muscle weakening, and excess fat can lead to the appearance of a “turkey neck,” jowls, or vertical neck bands (platysmal bands). A neck lift tightens and smooths these areas, restoring a youthful, refined contour. As the face and neck are a continuous structure with parallel aging changes, the face and neck are often lifted together to produce the most harmonious results. Ideal candidates are individuals who experience sagging skin or excess fat in the neck but have good skin elasticity and overall health. This procedure is perfect for those seeking natural-looking enhancements to complement their facial features and achieve a balanced, youthful profile.

Neck Lift Recovery
Subtle, Lasting Results
Recovery from a neck lift typically takes several weeks, during which swelling and bruising gradually subside. Most patients return to light activities within 2 weeks and full activity at 4 weeks. You will notice improvements in the contour of you neck as healing progresses. By the three-month mark, the final results become apparent—a firmer, smoother neck and a more defined jawline that enhance your overall natural appearance without looking like you had anything done. Following your surgeon’s aftercare instructions and maintaining a healthy lifestyle will help prolong the results of your neck lift. At Vermont Plastic Surgery, we are committed to guiding you through every step of your recovery to ensure beautiful, lasting results that leave you feeling confident and refreshed.
