Neck Lift Overview

Rediscover youthful elegance with a neck lift

A beautifully contoured, elegant neck is universally recognized as a sign of youth and beauty. Sadly over time, the neck skin, as it is usually exposed to the elements and is in constant motion, can lose its firm, supple quality. A custom neck lift in San Jose performed at OG Aesthetics will restore jawline definition, remove excess fat, and leave you looking naturally refreshed, in the most beautiful way.

What is a neck lift?

A neck lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the neck area by improving its contour and appearance. Over time, factors like aging, sun exposure, and lifestyle choices can lead to sagging skin, vertical neck bands, and excess fat beneath the chin, which may affect one’s overall facial aesthetics. A neck lift, performed by skilled surgeons, aims to address these concerns by tightening the skin, removing excess fat, and enhancing the definition of the neck and jawline.

At OG Aesthetics in Palo Alto, a neck lift in Palo Alto is customized for each patient’s unique anatomy, ensuring natural-looking results. The procedure can include various techniques, such as the deep neck lift, which targets deeper muscle layers and repositioning of tissue to achieve a smoother, more youthful contour. This surgery is ideal for those who experience visible sagging skin, lack of jawline definition, or neck wrinkles and creases.

Other neck procedures

Deep neck lift 

A deep neck lift goes beyond the traditional approach of removing excess skin and fat. This technique firms, sculpts, and redefines the neck’s youthful contour. With this approach, the deeper layers of the neck are accessed, lifted, and repositioned to achieve smooth, beautiful definition. 

Neck lipo

Some of our patients are unhappy with fatty deposits beneath the chin and in the neck. To address these concerns, we can perform custom neck liposuction, either in conjunction with a neck lift, or as a sole procedure for patients who have excess fat but firm, resilient skin.

Vertical neck bands

As the years pass, some patients will see vertical neck bands appearing. These muscle strips that run vertically down the sides of the neck structure are called platysmal bands. They typically become more visible due to the constant contractions of the platysma, the superficial layer of muscle under the skin on the face and neck. 

As the skin ages and loses elasticity, these bands may be visible when in motion or when speaking. Various lifestyle choices can make the bands even more prominent. At OG Aesthetics in Menlo Park, we can treat this aesthetic issue to restore a firm, sculpted appearance using a specialized surgical procedure called a “platysmaplasty”.

Neck Lift FAQ

Will a neck lift leave visible scars?

How long do neck lift results last?

What is the best age to get a neck lift?

Can a neck lift be combined with jawline or lower face treatments?

What makes a deep neck lift different from a traditional neck lift?

Will a neck lift improve the appearance of vertical neck bands?

How natural will my neck look after surgery?

Will a neck lift leave visible scars?

Incisions are carefully placed in natural creases and behind the ears to minimize visibility. Over time, scars fade and are often barely noticeable with proper care.

How long do neck lift results last?

While a neck lift cannot stop the aging process, results can last 10 years or more with healthy lifestyle choices and good skincare. Maintenance treatments like skin tightening or injectables may help prolong the outcome.

What is the best age to get a neck lift?

There is no “perfect” age for a neck lift, as the ideal timing depends on your individual anatomy, genetics, and aesthetic goals. Most patients who consider a neck lift are in their 40s to 60s, when signs of aging like skin laxity, neck banding, and loss of jawline definition become more pronounced. However, some individuals may benefit from the procedure earlier or later depending on their skin quality and facial structure. The best way to determine if it’s the right time is through a personalized consultation with one of our facial plastic surgeons in San Jose who can assess your concerns and recommend the most effective approach.

Can a neck lift be combined with jawline or lower face treatments?

Yes. Many patients choose to combine a neck lift with complementary procedures such as a lower facelift, chin augmentation, or neck liposuction to achieve a harmonious, balanced result. Addressing both the neck and jawline together often creates a more refined and youthful profile. During your consultation at OG Aesthetics, your surgeon will recommend a customized treatment plan based on your anatomy and aesthetic goals.

What makes a deep neck lift different from a traditional neck lift?

A deep neck lift focuses on correcting the underlying structural causes of neck aging rather than just tightening skin. This advanced technique addresses deeper muscle layers, removes excess fat, and repositions tissues to create a sharper jawline and smoother neck contour. Patients with heavier necks, submental fullness, or significant neck banding often benefit most from this approach.

Will a neck lift improve the appearance of vertical neck bands?

Yes. A neck lift can significantly improve vertical neck bands by addressing the platysma muscle through a specialized technique called platysmaplasty. By tightening and repositioning this muscle, the neck appears smoother and more sculpted both at rest and in motion.

How natural will my neck look after surgery?

A well-performed neck lift should look natural, never tight or overdone. At OG Aesthetics, the goal is to restore youthful definition while preserving your unique anatomy. Our double board-certified facial plastic surgeons use refined techniques to ensure results that look refreshed, balanced, and timeless.
