Techniques named for neck lift: Mini facelift (extended deep necklift), platysmaplasty.
Combining facelift surgery with a neck lift offers comprehensive rejuvenation of the cheeks, jawline, and neck. This approach treats deeper tissues and muscles while improving lower-face definition.
With neck lift surgery, the incisions are concealed underneath the chin and/or behind the ears
In some cases, chin liposuction may be combined with other facial procedures such as a neck lift or facelift to address loose skin or muscle laxity for more comprehensive rejuvenation.
If you’re an adult experiencing loose, sagging skin around the neck, you could be a good candidate for a neck lift.
Necklift surgery can result in a more defined jawline and a smooth neck erasing neckbands.
A neck lift is an outpatient procedure, performed under anesthesia for your comfort
At Portland Plastic Surgery Group, our cosmetic surgeons perform neck lift procedures at our outpatient surgery center. Once you’ve been administered general anesthesia, your surgeon will make small incisions in hidden areas behind or beneath the ears.
Necklift surgery does not change skin texture and every wrinkle cannot be erased.
Patients who struggle with sagging skin in the neck can turn to Dr. Elisa Burgess in her Lake Oswego, OR practice to undergo a neck lift to correct the issue.
A neck lift can be effectively combined with other procedures such as facelifts, brow lifts, and eyelid surgeries to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation transformation.
A mini facelift (also known as an extended deep necklift) addresses facial aging predominantly along the jawline
Dr. Kim's neck lift in Portland, Oregon consists of a group of customized surgical techniques that are used to improve the appearance of your jawline and neck by eliminating or removing signs of aging
a precision neck lift (platysmaplasty) in Portland elevates and tightens underlying muscle, removes excess tissue, and refines the jawline
A modern neck lift tightens the platysma, removes submental fat through precise liposuction, and excises excess skin
A neck lift (also known as a lower rhytidectomy or neck rejuvenation) is a surgical procedure and facial plastic surgery treatment that improves the appearance of the neck and jawline. It can address excess fat (double chin), neck skin laxity issues, jowls, a “turkey neck,” and muscle banding
How long your neck lift takes will depend on the results you’re looking for, but generally, it can take anywhere from 2-4 hours.
double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. James Chan offers standalone neck lift surgery for men and women in the Portland area.
Neck Lift generally runs $8,000–$16,000 per procedure, and each Portland 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 Portland clinics for a personalized quote.
Initial results in 2–4 weeks, with full results developing over 3 months as collagen builds. Portland providers typically schedule follow-ups to track progress.
Maintenance schedules vary. Most Portland 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.
