Refined Contours, Natural Movement

Neck Lift at Dr. Rose Plastic Surgery

For many people, the neck is one of the first areas to show visible signs of aging, including loose skin, volume loss under the chin, or banding that affects the jawline. These changes are normal. But if they start to feel out of sync with how you see yourself, subtle surgical refinement can make a meaningful difference.

At Dr. Rose Plastic Surgery, neck lift procedures often include chin liposuction for complete lower face rejuvenation. Dr. Jacqueline Rose Makerewich takes a precise, natural approach —sculpting where needed, tightening where helpful, and always preserving a soft, graceful profile.

There’s no push to erase time, just support in feeling more like yourself again.

An Elegant Reset

What is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift, also known as a lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that addresses signs of aging below the jawline. This includes excess fat, loose skin, or muscle banding across the neck. When paired with chin liposuction, the treatment reshapes the entire lower face, enhancing jawline definition and smoothing the neck’s profile.

The goal isn’t to change your appearance, but to restore a look that feels more rested and more in tune with how you carry yourself.

A Clear Look at How It’s Done

What is the Neck Lift procedure like?

Dr. Rose will tailor your surgical plan to your unique skin tone, muscle structure, and chin volume. Most neck lifts involve:

  • A small incision behind each ear, and sometimes under the chin
  • Tightening of the platysma muscle to reduce banding
  • Removal or redistribution of fat
  • Redraping of skin for a smooth, natural contour
  • Chin liposuction to sculpt and refine the angle between the chin and the neck

Surgery can often be done as an awake procedure with local anesthesia and light sedation. You’ll return home the same day with a gentle compression garment to support your healing.

Sagging Skin to Softened Contours

What conditions does a Neck Lift address?

  • Sagging skin along the jaw and neck
  • Horizontal lines or “turkey neck” appearance
  • Muscle banding or laxity
  • Fullness beneath the chin that softens jaw definition
  • Asymmetry or early signs of aging in the lower face

Subtle Changes. Significant Impact.

What are the benefits of Neck Rejuvenation?

Subtle, Natural Results

Dr. Rose uses a conservative approach to lift and refine without creating tightness or pull.

Improved Jawline Definition

Removing volume under the chin and tightening the neck restores clean angles and balance, creating a more defined and youthful appearance.

Patients often notice a refreshed look without appearing like they've had work done.

Awake Option for a Gentler Experience

Many patients prefer local anesthesia and light sedation, which can reduce downtime and avoid general anesthesia.

Knowing When It’s Time

Am I a candidate for a neck lift?

You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Have mild to moderate skin or muscle laxity in the neck
  • Are bothered by fullness under the chin or along the jawline
  • Are in good health and a non-smoker
  • Want to see visible improvement without changing your core features

Dr. Rose will discuss whether a neck lift alone, liposuction alone, or a combined approach is best suited to your goals.

A Return to You

Neck Lift Recovery and Results

Neck Lift Recovery

Most patients return to light activity within a week, with swelling and tightness gradually improving over 2 to 4 weeks. You’ll be given a custom recovery plan including:

  • Compression garment usage
  • Incision and scar care
  • Activity guidelines
  • Personalized follow-up schedule

You’ll feel supported throughout every phase—from dressing changes to long-term scar refinement.

Neck Lift Results

Early improvements are often visible within 1–2 weeks, with final results developing over the next few months as swelling resolves. Scars are discreet and fade over time with proper care. Your neck will appear smoother, firmer, and more in alignment with the angles of your jaw and face.

Results are long-lasting, especially when paired with sun protection and healthy lifestyle habits.
