Techniques named for neck lift: MyEllevate.
A traditional neck lift can combine skin redraping, removal of excess skin, fat sculpting, and platysma work through incisions placed around the ear and sometimes beneath the chin.
Patients who are appropriate candidates for neck lift surgery are in good health, have reasonable expectations, and display moderate to advanced signs of visible aging below the jawline/chin and along the neck.
A surgical neck lift produces improvements that last for many years. These results typically surpass what injectables or devices can offer.
A facelift and neck lift targets the lower third as the lower cheek, jowl, and jawline of the face and neck region.
A neck lift can address loose skin and platysma muscle laxity in addition to selected fat.
Dr. Petti utilizes signature and unique laser technology to assist her in achieving natural-looking and aesthetically appealing outcomes following neck lift surgery.
For patients with significant sagging and jowling, a traditional neck lift involves incisions that begin in front of the earlobe, curve around the ear, and end in the lower scalp.
Neck Lift generally runs $8,000–$16,000 per procedure, and each Torrance 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 Torrance clinics for a personalized quote.
Initial results in 2–4 weeks, with full results developing over 3 months as collagen builds. Torrance providers typically schedule follow-ups to track progress.
Maintenance schedules vary. Most Torrance 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.
