Improve the Visible Signs of Aging

Conveniently located to serve Boca Raton, FL

A neck lift can improve the visible signs of aging in the jawline and neck. This procedure removes excess skin and fat and tightens the muscles which cause the “Turkey Gobbler” look. Dr. Albert uses a variety of the latest techniques to obtain a long-lasting and natural look. The procedure can be performed alone or in conjunction with liposuction. Many times the procedure is done along with a facelift to rejuvenate the face and neck and create a more youthful look. To learn more about our Neck Lift Boca Raton patients can call us at (561) 495-2700 to schedule a consultation.

What is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy, smooths and tightens the neck by removing excess skin, adjusting neck muscles, and sometimes removing excess fat. The goal isn't just to tighten the skin—it's to restore balance and definition to the lower face and neck. Over time, the aging process causes skin relaxation, leading to sagging skin and a loss of youthful contour. A neck lift surgery directly addresses these concerns by repositioning and tightening underlying structures. The result is a smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking neck that complements your natural features.

Targeting the Trouble Spots

Neck Lift Treatment Areas

The primary focus of a neck lift is, of course, the neck—but it also enhances the overall harmony between the jawline and lower face. Depending on your needs, the procedure can target:

Excess fat and skin laxity in the lower face that create jowls
Excess fatty deposits under the chin
Loose neck skin
Muscle banding in the neck, creating abnormal contours

For many, a neck lift is part of a comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan, often paired with a facelift, chin liposuction, or skin resurfacing for the best results.

More Than Skin Deep

What issues does Neck Lift address?

A neck lift isn't just about looking younger—it's about restoring balance and definition where it's been lost. A neck lift in Boca Raton addresses a range of concerns, including:

Sagging Skin & Skin Relaxation – As collagen production slows, skin loses its ability to bounce back, leading to drooping and folds. A neck lift surgery tightens and removes this excess skin for a firmer, refreshed look.
Excess Fat Under the Chin (Double Chin) – Stubborn fat deposits can create a heavy or undefined jawline. A neck lift procedure can include fat removal to enhance contours.
Loose or Banding Neck Muscles – The neck muscles (platysma) can weaken and separate, leading to visible cords or vertical bands. A neck surgery tightens these muscles for a smoother neckline.
Jawline & Neck Contour Loss – The lower face and neck work together to frame the face. A neck lift refines this area, bringing back the youthful definition.

Smoothing, Tightening, Defining

Benefits of Neck Lift

With a neck lift Boca Raton patients should know that it takes time to fully heal, but once recovery is complete, the results are worth it. This surgical procedure offers:

A More Sculpted and Youthful Neck – Say goodbye to sagging and hello to a sleek, defined jawline.
Long-Lasting Results – Unlike non-surgical treatments, a neck lift surgery provides results that can last 10+ years.
Minimal Scarring – Thanks to small incisions hidden behind the ears or under the chin.
Improved Confidence – A smoother, tighter neck often makes people feel more confident in their appearance.

Is a Neck Lift Right for You?

Neck Lift Candidates

A neck lift is a great option for people experiencing signs of aging in the lower face and neck, but it's not for everyone. The ideal candidate is someone who:

Has loose neck skin, sagging skin, or excess neck skin and fat.
Is in good overall health with no conditions that impair healing.
Does not smoke (or is willing to quit before and after surgery).
Has realistic expectations about what the procedure can achieve.

If you're unsure whether a neck lift procedure is right for you, Dr. Albert will assess your concerns and discuss all available options during your consultation.

The Steps Before Surgery

Consultation and Preparation for Neck Lift

Before your neck lift surgery, a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Albert ensures the treatment plan is tailored to your unique needs. He will:

Evaluate your neck skin, neck muscles, and overall facial structure.
Discuss your goals and what a neck lift can realistically achieve.
Go over medical history and any health concerns.

Leading up to your cosmetic procedure, you may need to:

Avoid certain medications that increase bleeding risk.
Stop smoking to promote proper healing.
Plan for downtime and arrange post-surgery support.

The Neck Lift Procedure

Your Boca Raton neck lift surgery will be performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity. The procedure typically involves:

Small Incisions – Typically placed behind the ears and under the chin for minimal visibility.
Tightening of Neck Muscles – If needed, the platysma muscles are adjusted for a smoother contour.
Removal of Excess Skin and Fat – Eliminating excess fat and repositioning skin for a youthful look.
Closure & Bandaging – Incisions are carefully closed, and a supportive bandage is applied.

The entire neck lift procedure takes about two to three hours.

Your Road to Recovery

Neck Lift Recovery

Recovery after a neck lift is relatively smooth, but it does require some downtime. Most patients take about one to two weeks off from work and social activities while swelling and bruising subside. You'll likely wear a supportive bandage or compression garment for the first few days to help with healing and minimize swelling. In the first week, it's normal to experience mild tightness and discomfort, but pain is usually minimal and manageable with prescribed medication. Sleeping with your head elevated can help reduce swelling, and avoiding strenuous activity for a few weeks is key to a smooth recovery. Most patients feel comfortable returning to normal routines within two weeks, though full healing continues over the next several months.

At the Optimization Centre, we believe in going above and beyond when it comes to your facial rejuvenation. From postoperative advancement services such as Red Light Therapy and the Candella Vbeam and Lumenis Resurfacing lasers to our personalized follow-up monitoring of your post-surgical condition, we will make sure your experience is safe and comfortable so you can focus on enjoying the new you.

Your Neck Lift Timeline

Neck Lift Results

While you'll notice improvements soon after surgery, the final results of your neck lift take time to fully settle. Initial swelling will begin to fade within the first few weeks, and by the three-month mark, your new, defined neck contour will become more apparent.

Most patients see their final results around six months post-surgery when all swelling has completely subsided. The outcome is a smoother, firmer neck that enhances your overall facial harmony. And while a neck lift doesn't stop the aging process, the results are long-lasting, often maintaining a youthful appearance for 10 years or more with proper care.

Maintaining Your Neck Lift Results

Neck Lift Aftercare

To keep your results looking fresh, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and good skincare habits is essential. Sun protection plays a huge role in preventing premature aging, so using sunscreen daily and wearing protective clothing can help preserve your smoother, more youthful neckline. A consistent skincare routine with hydrating and collagen-boosting products can also support skin elasticity and prevent sagging. Many patients opt for non-surgical treatments like skin resurfacing, laser therapy, or injectable treatments over the years to maintain their refreshed look. Regular follow-ups with Dr. Albert will help ensure that your results continue to look their best.

Investing in Confidence

How much does a Neck Lift cost?

The cost of a neck lift varies depending on several factors, including the complexity of the procedure, the techniques used, and whether any additional treatments are combined. Dr. Albert takes a highly customized approach, so pricing reflects your unique needs and desired results. Generally, the total cost includes the surgeon's fee, anesthesia, and facility fees. Additional costs may apply for post-operative care, such as compression garments and follow-up visits. During your consultation, Dr. Albert will provide a detailed breakdown of costs, ensuring full transparency so you know exactly what to expect.
