Neck Lift Procedure Specialist Serving Colmar, Lansdale, PA

A neck lift is one of our specialized cosmetic procedures designed to rejuvenate the appearance of your neck by tightening loose skin and underlying muscles, as well as removing excess fat. Our experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon understands that the best age for a neck lift varies for each individual. Factors such as genetics, skin quality, and the degree of aging all play important roles.
 
Many of our Lansdale-area patients who choose neck lift surgery are between the ages of 40 and 70, as this is the time when concerns like sagging skin, muscle banding, and excess fat beneath the chin often become more noticeable. However, age is just one consideration. The ideal candidate for a neck lift at Lansdale Plastic Surgery is in good overall health, has realistic expectations, and possesses skin with some remaining elasticity.
 
During your personalized consultation, our board-certified plastic surgeon will carefully assess your unique anatomy and discuss your goals to determine if a neck lift is right for you and when the timing would be most beneficial. Our commitment is to provide you with safe, effective, and natural-looking results that help you look and feel your best.

Neck lift surgery (also known as lower rhytidectomy) is a popular procedure for patients seeking a more youthful, defined neck and jawline. If you’re considering a neck lift, you might be wondering about the pain and recovery process. Rest assured, most of our patients are pleasantly surprised to find that discomfort after neck lift surgery is typically mild to moderate.
 
Your procedure will be performed under anesthesia, so you won’t feel any pain during the operation itself. As the anesthesia wears off, it’s normal to experience some tightness, soreness, and mild to moderate discomfort around the treated area, especially in the first few days following surgery.
 
At Lansdale Plastic Surgery, our team will provide you with detailed postoperative care instructions and prescribe appropriate pain medications or recommend over-the-counter pain relievers to help you stay comfortable. Most patients find that their discomfort is easily managed with these medications, and pain usually subsides within a week. You may also notice some swelling, bruising, or numbness around your neck and jaw—these symptoms are common and tend to resolve as you heal.
 
It’s important to remember that everyone’s pain tolerance is different, so experiences can vary. However, severe pain after a neck lift is rare. If you ever experience intense or worsening pain, please contact us immediately, as this could indicate a complication that needs prompt attention.

We specialize in helping patients achieve a natural, youthful appearance through advanced cosmetic procedures, including the neck lift (lower rhytidectomy). This surgery is designed to enhance the contours of your neck and jawline by removing excess skin, tightening underlying muscles, and, when necessary, repositioning or removing fat deposits. Our board-certified plastic surgeon, our team uses the latest techniques to deliver safe, beautiful, and long-lasting results.
 
Patients often ask about the longevity of neck lift results. While a neck lift can rejuvenate your appearance and dramatically reduce visible signs of aging, the procedure does not stop the natural aging process. On average, you can expect the results of your neck lift to last between 10 to 15 years. Factors such as your age at the time of surgery, skin quality, genetics, and lifestyle choices—including sun exposure and smoking—can all influence how long your results will last.
 
Our team emphasizes the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and protecting your skin from the sun to maximize and prolong your results. Patients who keep a stable weight and avoid smoking tend to enjoy the benefits of their neck lift for many years.
 
We believe in building long-term relationships with our patients. While a neck lift can provide significant and lasting improvement, some individuals may choose to enhance or maintain their results in the future with non-surgical treatments or minor touch-up procedures, all available in our Lansdale office.

We offer the mini neck lift—also known as a “mini platysmaplasty” or “limited neck lift”—to help patients achieve a smoother, more youthful neck and jawline with less downtime than a traditional neck lift. This procedure is ideal for individuals experiencing mild to moderate sagging or excess skin under the chin and along the jawline.
 
Unlike a full neck lift, the mini neck lift performed uses smaller, strategically placed incisions and focuses on tightening both the skin and underlying muscles. Our board-certified plastic surgeon utilizes advanced techniques to minimize scarring and ensure natural-looking results, allowing patients to return to their daily activities sooner.
 
Many of our patients choose this procedure to refresh their appearance without the longer recovery associated with more extensive surgery. During your consultation at Lansdale Plastic Surgery, we will carefully evaluate your unique needs, discuss your goals, and determine if a mini neck lift is the right option for you.
