Is there a non-surgical alternative?

For those with minimal laxity and good skin quality, FaceTite and Morpheus8 might be a good alternative. This is a much less involved procedure that lasts about one hour. For those with a lot of loose skin within the neck, this can only be removed through surgery. For those with tremendous laxity, this is the only true way to redefine a person’s neck and add the necessary definition needed to improve the contour and profile. In either case, adding fat grafting to replenish lost volume is very helpful to restore a more youthful look.

Will I have visible scars?

A neck lift may be done through an incision under the chin and/or one at the base of and behind the ears. However, these are placed inconspicuously (within the hairline on the ears and under the chin) so looking straight ahead you will not see them. We make every effort during surgery to minimize visible scarring as much as possible.

What is the average age?

Individuals in their 40s may begin to see early signs of laxity and loss of neck and jawline definition. If the skin quality is good and there is not a lot of redundancy, FaceTite and Morpheus8 might be a great option. Those in their 60s and over likely would need a face and neck lift, especially those who have experienced a massive weight loss or a hereditary predisposition to loose and sagging skin on the neck.

Some patients will have issues with their neck, but these problems may be the result of a "weak chin." Without the proper support of the chin bone, the neck can’t have a defined contour. A chin implant may be recommended to improve the projection of the chin and make it stronger. This can have a great impact on the neck for many patients. This surgery requires the skill of an experienced surgeon. A neck lift may still be needed once the chin has been corrected.
