A neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that improves visible signs of aging in the jawline and neck, addressing excess fat, muscle banding, and skin relaxation.
It is designed to create a smoother, more toned, and elegant profile by tightening the underlying neck muscles (platysmaplasty) and removing sagging skin.
Whether performed alone or in combination with a facelift, a neck lift helps restore a naturally youthful and refreshed appearance.

While a neck lift cannot stop the aging process, it effectively resets the clock. Results generally last 10 to 15 years, and patients will continue to look younger than they would have without the surgery.
