What Is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the neck by addressing signs of aging like jowls, sagging skin, excess fat, or banding. The procedure also involves tightening and repositioning the underlying structures and muscles of the neck to create a sleeker facial profile and a more youthful appearance.

Neck lift procedures can improve the appearance of:
  • Sagging skin and lax muscles
  • Poor jawline definition
  • Jowls or pre-jowls
  • Double chin
  • Fat deposits
  • Wrinkles
  • Muscle bands

During your consultation, Dr. Farber will listen to your concerns and help you customize your neck lift to create a polished facial appearance. As such, Dr. Farber often performs neck lifts in conjunction with facelifts to deliver a harmonious facial appearance, helping you reclaim your confidence. She takes the time to sincerely understand your goals and create results that perfectly reflect your vision.

Dr. Farber often combines neck lifts with non-surgical treatments like dermal fillers, Botox®, laser treatments, or chemical peels, or surgical facial rejuvenation treatments like an eyelid lift, brow lift, or facelift that will help you achieve your ideal appearance.

Neck Lift Procedure Overview

On the day of your neck lift treatment in Atlanta, GA, you will be escorted to a private room where you will be prepared for your procedure. Once you’re ready, Dr. Farber will give you another opportunity to express your goals and priorities so that you can feel confident that she understands your vision and will execute it perfectly.

Dr. Farber will begin your neck lift as determined during your consultation. If she has recommended adding liposuction to contour your neck, she will start by eliminating excess fat from the area. Then, Dr. Farber will create small, strategically placed incisions near the ears to remove excess skin and fat and tighten the underlying muscles and structures. By targeting these areas meticulously, Dr. Farber can ensure a smoother, more defined jawline and neck.

As soon as your neck lift is completed, you will be taken to a private recovery room where you will wake up to friendly faces cheering you on as you get your first glimpse at your new profile. Before you are released to go home, you will feel excited and supported, knowing that Dr. Farber and her team will be by your side throughout your recovery.

What to Expect from Your Neck Lift Recovery

Dr. Farber uses a rapid recovery protocol that helps patients recover quickly while minimizing the need for narcotic pain medications. She utilizes several medications to reduce pain in the hope that you will experience a manageable amount of pain while reducing narcotic side effects.

After your neck lift, you may experience mild bruising, swelling, and numbness that will gradually subside within a few weeks. Depending on the extent of your procedure, Dr. Farber may fit you with a compression garment to support the tissues as they heal.

Generally, patients take a week off from work to rest and recover. Following this recovery time, they are back to feeling like themselves again within a week and back to their normal routines within a month.

Tips for a Smooth Neck Lift Recovery
  • Your surgical dressing will stay in place for 2 to 3 weeks, and you will be able to shower shortly after surgery. Less maintenance means more time to focus on rest, relaxation, and self-care.
  • Wear your compression garment as directed to reduce swelling.
  • Get plenty of rest and elevate your head to minimize swelling.
  • Avoid exercise or other strenuous activities, including lifting more than 10 pounds, for 2 to 4 weeks or until Dr. Farber clears you. However, take light, gentle walks to improve blood flow.
  • Stay hydrated and prioritize your balanced, nutritious diet to ensure your body has everything it needs throughout recovery.
  • Refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol for 2 to 4 weeks following surgery.
  • Arrange for help around the house and with any pet or childcare while you recover.

If you have any questions or concerns about your neck lift recovery, please don’t hesitate to call the office at (470) 961-9950. We are available at all hours to answer your questions.

When Will I See My Neck Lift Results?

Following a neck lift, most patients typically experience swelling and bruising that will last 1 to 2 weeks. These effects gradually resolve, revealing the final outcome. However, residual swelling may last for a few  weeks or months. In the first few months, you may notice many changes, but others will only see your refreshed appearance.

To ensure the longevity of your neck lift results, follow all post-operative instructions and maintain your healthy lifestyle choices. While your neck lift results are permanent, the skin will continue aging, but your changes will begin at a new, younger starting point.
