Loose skin and wrinkles on the neck can add years to your appearance and negatively affect your confidence. A neck lift smooths and tightens the area, restoring a more youthful, defined profile. People in the Greater Philadelphia area trust board-certified plastic surgeon Joseph Tamburrino, M.D., for neck lift in Doylestown, PA, for elegant, natural-looking results.

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.

Who Is a Candidate for a Neck Lift?

Ideal candidates for neck lift surgery include individuals who:

  • Have loose, sagging skin on their neck or under their chin
  • Are in good overall health with stable body weight
  • Desire a more defined jawline and youthful neck contour
  • Have realistic expectations for the results of the procedure

During your consultation, Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. will assess your concerns and determine if a neck lift is the best option for you.

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.

Neck Lift 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.
