What both Corpus Christi practices that list neck lift say on their own websites (checked September 2026); one that does not mention something may still offer it, so ask at your consultation.
Neck lift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Hinojosa will make precise incisions, usually behind the ears and/or under the chin, to access the underlying structures.
Dr. Rose can combine blepharoplasty with additional surgeries, including facelift and neck lift . The benefits of a single surgical session are a shorter overall recovery time and more comprehensive aesthetic improvement.
Recovery after a neck lift usually involves some swelling and bruising, but these should gradually subside over the course of a few weeks. Most patients can return to work and light activities within about two weeks.
Neck lift surgery can take anywhere from 2 to 4 hours depending on your goals and needs. Afterward, you may need about 3 – 6 weeks away from physically intensive activities.
Neck Lift generally runs $8,000–$16,000 per procedure, and each Corpus Christi clinic sets its own price. The biggest variables are the provider's experience level and the specific device or product used. Newer technology and senior injectors price at the upper end. Pricing is quoted in US dollars (USD). Request a consultation from any of our listed Corpus Christi clinics for a personalized quote.
Initial results in 2–4 weeks, with full results developing over 3 months as collagen builds. Corpus Christi providers typically schedule follow-ups to track progress.
Maintenance schedules vary. Most Corpus Christi providers recommend periodic refresh sessions every 6–12 months once optimal results are achieved.
Nationally, $8,000 to $16,000 including surgeon, anesthesia, and facility. A limited submental platysmaplasty through a single incision under the chin sits at the lower end. A full neck lift with incisions behind the ears and skin removal sits higher. Combining it with a facelift raises the total but costs meaningfully less than doing the two operations separately.
They are neighbors, not synonyms. A facelift repositions the deeper tissue of the cheeks and jawline. A neck lift works below the jaw, tightening the platysma muscle, removing fat above or below it, and trimming loose skin. Many patients need both and have them together. Someone whose face has held up but whose neck has not is the classic candidate for a neck lift alone.
Each has a narrow lane. Botox can soften early muscle bands for a few months. Kybella and CoolSculpting remove fat under the chin but do nothing for loose skin or muscle, and removing fat under lax skin can make hanging worse. Ultrasound and radiofrequency devices tighten mild laxity modestly. Established bands and hanging skin are structural, and surgery is the only treatment that corrects structure.
The platysma is a thin sheet of muscle just under the skin of the neck. With age its front edges loosen and separate, and those edges show through the skin as two vertical cords. They tend to appear in the fifties and become more visible with animation. A platysmaplasty stitches the edges back together in the midline, which is why no cream or injectable reaches the problem.
The workhorse incision hides in the natural crease under the chin and typically heals to a faint line. When skin needs removing, incisions run behind the ears and into the hairline, in the same well-hidden pattern facelifts use. Neck skin heals well in most patients, and visible scarring is uncommon with a surgeon who closes without tension.
