What is a Neck Lift?
A neck lift is a surgical procedure to reduce sagging skin, wrinkles, and excess fat in the neck area. It addresses common concerns like the “turkey neck” or “double chin” by removing excess tissue and tightening the remaining skin. This procedure can significantly improve the contour of your jawline and neck, delivering a rejuvenated and more defined profile. It is often combined with a facelift.
What does a Neck Lift cost?
Neck lift surgery is highly customized, and the pricing reflects this. Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. will provide a detailed price quote at your consultation. However, our Pricing Information page provides a general price range for the procedure.

How is a Neck Lift performed?
Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. typically performs neck lift surgery using general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. The process includes:
- Incisions: He makes small incisions behind the ears and sometimes beneath the chin, carefully placed to minimize visible scarring.
- Liposuction: He removes excess fat to refine the neck contour if needed.
- Skin and Tissue Tightening: Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. excises loose skin, tightening and repositioning the remaining tissue for a smoother appearance.
He then meticulously closes the incisions, resulting in a rejuvenated neckline.
Recovery and results
Following neck lift surgery, patients can expect:
- Initial Recovery: Swelling and bruising typically subside within a few days to a week.
- Final Results: A smoother, tighter neckline becomes fully visible as healing progresses, typically within a few months.
Tips for recovery
- Avoid strenuous activities and movements that strain your neck for 1 to 2 weeks after surgery.
- Sleep with your head elevated to reduce swelling.
- Avoid wearing any clothing that fits the neck closely.
- Follow all postoperative care instructions.
Initial results are visible almost immediately. Neck lift surgery can dramatically improve your profile and even shave years off your appearance.
FAQ
What about nonsurgical options?
Neck lift surgery is the best and most effective method to eliminate loose skin, especially if it hangs or droops. Although there are several nonsurgical skin tightening treatments that can give you some improvements, neck lift surgery can more dramatically smooth and redefine your neckline.
Will I have visible scars?
A neck lift requires one incision beneath the chin and two more close to the ears. Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. makes careful, strategic incisions to minimize the visibility of scars. We will also give you scar care instructions to encourage incisions to heal flat and thin.
Can I combine a Neck Lift with other facial surgeries?
Many patients combine treatments such as a facelift, liposuction, laser skin resurfacing, or chemical peels with a neck lift for enhanced results. If you’re concerned about facial aging, an undefined jawline, or a weak chin, Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. can help you create a treatment plan that meets all your goals.
