Techniques named for neck lift: Laser Resurfacing, deep neck lifts.
Dr. Thao performs neck lift surgery on an outpatient basis under sedation and local or general anesthesia. Two small incisions will be made under the chin.
A neck lift is a surgical procedure that improves signs of aging along the jawline and neck by recontouring the area. This procedure corrects excess deposits of fat under the chin that have caused jowls, loose skin, and muscle banding of the neck
A neck lift is the perfect complement to a facelift procedure. This surgical procedure involves lifting and tightening superficial neck muscles, along with removing excess fat and loose skin.
Unlike traditional neck lifts, which primarily tighten the skin and remove surface fat, the neck lift operates beneath the platysma muscle and fascia.

Neck lift surgery is also the most definitive way to remove loose skin following weight loss. This includes patients who have experienced significant weight loss after surgery or taking GLP-1 medications, which can lead to noticeable sagging skin in the neck area.
If you are bothered by excessive wrinkling of your neck skin, sagging of the neck or chin skin (often referred to as a “turkey neck”), or platysmal bands, you are likely an excellent candidate for a neck lift.

The i-Guide suture-suspension system can add support to the muscles of the neck, and an open procedure is necessary when the aging of the neck is more advanced. An isolated neck lift is indicated only for early signs of aging or when a previous facelift has already been performed.
Additional considerations are made for men who request face lift/neck lift procedures, as their shorter hairstyles and beard/sideburn growth needs to be considered also.

During neck lift surgery, highly trained plastic surgeon Gregory T. Mesna may use several techniques including liposuction, muscle tightening, and the removal of excess skin to create a more toned, lifted appearance.
Neck Lift generally runs $8,000–$16,000 per procedure, and each Minneapolis 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 Minneapolis clinics for a personalized quote.
Initial results in 2–4 weeks, with full results developing over 3 months as collagen builds. Minneapolis providers typically schedule follow-ups to track progress.
Most patients wait 24 hours before applying makeup to avoid irritation on freshly-treated skin.
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.
