A neck lift procedure is an incredibly valuable option in the battle against facial aging or managing your new appearance after weight loss.
Many patients assume the aging process begins in the face; it’s also true that sagging, drooping, fine lines, and wrinkles can affect your appearance on your neck and jawline, robbing you of your elegant, youthful contours and keeping you from feeling that your outside doesn’t quite match your inner beauty. This is where a lower face/neck lift can play a significant role in restoring your appearance.
We want to help all our patients look and feel their best. That’s why we are offering $500 off Neck Lift Surgery in Chevy Chase & Easton Maryland.

What Is A Neck Lift?
A neck lift is a surgical procedure that dramatically improves the appearance of your neck, jawline and chin. The natural aging process often increases sagging lower facial skin, and massive weight loss accelerates this problem.
Patients who have lost weight have a similar issue like older patients, with their neck and lower face showing the loss of fat and thinner skin.
This procedure generally takes two to three hours. During a neck lift surgery, Dr. Lynch will make small incisions behind your ears and under your chin. Through those incisions, excess fat will be removed, usually with liposuction. Your neck muscles are then tightened, and sometimes a small section of the platysma muscle is removed or they can be tightened. After these steps have been completed, the skin is replaced and is pulled taut. The incisions are then sutured closed. Any excess skin will be removed. The results can be life-changing.
If you are unhappy about the hanging skin along your neck, and you feel that your jawline is making you look older than you are, please contact us today.
Neck lift surgery is a delicate cosmetic procedure, specifically designed to remove excess, sagging skin from under your jawline and on your neck. This incredible treatment has transformed many patients’ lives, offering undeniably beautiful, natural-looking, and long-lasting results — especially for those looking for a solution to reverse signs of aging, weight loss, and regain their self-confidence.
Sometimes, just getting a neck lift surgery alone isn’t enough. Although a neck lift addresses sagging skin, excess fat, and muscle laxity in the neck, aging doesn’t just happen in one area. In most patients, signs of aging affect the lower face, jawline, eyes, and cheeks simultaneously.
In many cases, treating only the neck can result in an imbalance between the refreshed neck and the untreated areas above it. By combining procedures, Dr. Lynch can seamlessly transition procedures together, from your face to your neck, creating more beautiful, natural-looking results.
Sagging Skin
Dr. Lynch tightens the loose skin and muscles, restoring a more youthful contour to your neck and jawline. By removing excess skin and fat, this procedure reduces the appearance of crepey skin, wrinkles and sagging.
A neck lift surgical procedure targets the removal of excessive fullness and fat accumulation beneath your chin. Through precise surgical techniques, Dr. Lynch removes stubborn fat deposits, creating a more sculpted and youthful appearance.
Jawline Definition
A neck lift procedure sharpens the jawline definition by tightening loose skin and muscles, creating a more defined and sculpted profile. Dr. Lynch will reposition the tissue and remove excess fat and skin to create a more youthful jawline contour.
Addressing the fine lines that run across the front of your neck, Dr. Lynch makes small incisions behind the ears and/or underneath your chin to tighten the neck muscles, providing an overall smoother appearance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Many patients who have concerns about a thick, fleshy neck, heavy “jowls,” platysma, sagging skin or neck “banding,” can see immediate results from this procedure. In a lot of cases, the platysma muscle in the center of your neck can be adjusted and tightened if it has begun to separate and sag.
Good candidates must be in good health, both mentally and physically, before having a neck lift procedure. An ideal candidate does not smoke.
Issues Corrected By Neck Lift Surgery Include:
- Neck Folds & Lines
- Sagging or Excess Skin
- Excess Neck and/or Lower Face Fat
- Jawline Jowls
Younger Patients Interested In Neck Lift Or Neck Skin Removal
Platysmaplasty is not just an option for any age group. Many of our patients who have had a neck lift are those who lost a lot of weight or want excess weight and skin removed.
Receiving a neck lift procedure is generally separated into two parts: removing excess skin/fat and tightening the neck muscles. Liposuction can be used to remove excess fat from the neck to improve the end result.
Just having a neck lift surgery does not directly correct excess skin and fat in the lower face above the jawline. A neck lift procedure alone, however, can help correct some drooping around the jowls.
While there are some patients who only need a neck lift, and not a lower or full facelift, combining the two can truly make a difference, giving you a younger and better result.
Using a compression garment for 24 hours each day is the key to a successful recovery after neck lift surgery.
After the first week, patients can use their compression garment at night. They can also apply cold compresses to the area and keep their head elevated for the first two days to minimize swelling.
After the neck lift surgical procedure, we advise patients to do their best to keep their head still and avoid twisting, turning, and other strains for the first few days.
Sutures are typically removed after one week, while swelling and bruising may last up to 7 - 10 days.
You will be able to return to work and resume normal daily activities within two weeks. Just keep in mind that you should avoid strenuous exercise for four to six weeks.
With many years of successful patient experience, the results from a surgical neck lift can be permanent. Things that can impact your long term results include your lifestyle, activity level, genetics, weight loss or gain and your baseline age.
Yes, a neck lift, as well as other surgical options Dr. Lynch can discuss with you, can help reverse or significantly improve the signs of Ozempic face by tightening loose neck skin, removing excess fat, and restoring a more youthful and defined jawline and neck contour. A neck lift is an effective surgical option for addressing the sagging skin that often occurs after significant weight loss. A neck lift may also be combined with other procedures, such as a facelift, or facial fat transfer.
