Neck Lift Surgeon in Vancouver

Some individuals experience stubborn and persistent fat deposits under the chin and along the jawline that can be unrelated to bodyweight and instead be the result of an unfortunate genetic tendency to store fat in this area. In these circumstances, liposuction (performed via concealed 3 mm incisions) can be an excellent way to target the fatty tissue resulting in a slimmer, more svelte neckline and contour.

With more advanced changes in the neck, there can be an excess of skin, fat as well muscular bands (platysmal bands). In this case a more comprehensive surgical procedure is indicated. A ‘neck-lift’ targets excess skin and fat as well as muscular bands via an incision located and hidden around the ear and hairline. Neck-lifts result in a much improved and more youthful neckline. Commonly, neck-lifts are performed in conjunction with a facelift that additionally targets the jowls, mouth-corners, naso-labial folds and cheeks for a comprehensive and synchronous ‘rewinding of the clock’ by 10-20 years!

Dr. Tregaskiss will discuss with you the options that are best suited for your specific needs and requirements.

Neck Lift FAQs

What is a neck lift?

A neck lift is a cosmetic procedure used to address sagging skin, double chin, jowls, and neck bands. A neck lift is often combined with a facelift for a complete transformation.

Who is a good candidate for a neck lift?

Ideal candidates for a neck lift are healthy adults with realistic expectations who are nonsmokers and notice visible signs of aging around their jawline and neck, including sagging skin, jowls, and/or a double chin.

What is the recovery time for a neck lift?

Total recovery time for a neck lift usually takes two to four weeks, but it can take up to three months for any swelling to fully dissipate. You can return to work after 1-2 weeks.

Are the results of a neck lift permanent?

Results from a neck lift can last for years, but the natural aging process will affect them over time. Avoiding smoking, having a quality skin care regimen, and protecting your skin from the sun can ensure your results last as long as possible.

What are the risks associated with a neck lift?

Some of the risks associated with a neck lift include bleeding, infection, fluid accumulation, scarring, and changes in skin sensation.

Is there visible scarring after a neck lift?

Incisions for a neck lift are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring. Most incisions are hidden behind the ears or under the chin. Once healed, these scars are usually very discreet and not noticeable to others.

Can a neck lift be combined with other procedures?

Yes, a neck lift is often combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures for more comprehensive results. Common combinations include facelift, brow lift, or eyelid surgery. Your surgeon can recommend the best approach based on your goals.

What's the ideal age for a neck lift?

There’s no specific “ideal” age for a neck lift, as it depends on individual factors. Most patients are in their 40s to 60s, but younger patients may benefit if they have excess neck skin or fat. The best candidates are those in good overall health with realistic expectations.

Will a neck lift address my double chin?

A neck lift can help improve the appearance of a double chin in many cases. The procedure often includes liposuction to remove excess fat under the chin and tightening of the platysma muscles to create a more defined jawline. However, for patients whose main concern is excess fat under the chin with good skin elasticity, liposuction alone may be sufficient.
