Techniques named for neck lift: Deep Plane Neck Lift.
Often, the neck lift is combined with improving a weak chin using an implant or fat injection to provide a more dramatic improvement.
A neck lift is performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with a premedication that relaxes you during the procedure.
The technique for neck lift involves incisions hidden in the natural creases around the earlobes and behind the ears.
He often combines Abdominoplasty and Liposuction for a more comprehensive result and typically in conjunction with other necklift procedures for optimal results.
A neck lift can significantly improve the appearance of the neck and jawline and create a far more youthful profile, with fresh clean lines rather than sagging skin and tissue.
Neck lifts results usually last 5-8 years.
A neck lift can be performed as a single procedure, but it is sometimes done in conjunction with a facelift , liposuction , or other facial cosmetic procedures.

You can also combine a lip lift with a facelift, neck lift, or other similar procedures to combat the signs of aging on other parts of the face.
This may get to the point that you experience a double chin or “turkey neck.” A neck lift, also known as a lower rhytidectomy, can treat these signs of aging.
a neck lift can also be performed in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures, such as a brow lift , facial fat grafting and eyelid surgery.

Neck Lift generally runs $8,000–$16,000 per procedure, and each Washington 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).

Results vary by patient, but most Washington providers report 6–18 months of sustained benefit from a full Neck Lift series.
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.
