Neck Lift Overview

What Is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to tighten and smooth the skin and underlying muscles of the neck, improving your profile and reducing visible signs of aging. Dr. Morisada’s approach emphasizes natural-looking results by targeting sagging skin, excess fat, and muscle laxity to restore a firm, elegant neckline and profile.

A Discreet, Lifted Look

During the neck lift, small, discreet incisions are made along the natural creases of the neck and, in some cases, behind the ears. Dr. Morisada will lift and reposition underlying muscles, remove excess skin, and contour the area to achieve a smooth, youthful result.

Neck Lift FAQ

How long will neck lift results last?

Neck lift results are designed to be long-lasting, with many patients enjoying improvements for 10 years or more. Factors like skin quality, lifestyle choices, and aging can impact longevity. Dr. Morisada will provide personalized advice on maintaining your results.

Am I a good candidate for a neck lift?

A neck lift may be right for you if you have visible signs of aging in the neck area, such as loose skin, excess fat, or neck banding. Dr. Morisada will thoroughly evaluate your consultation to determine if a neck lift or alternative treatment would best suit your goals.

What is the recovery time for a neck lift?

Most patients can return to light activities within 10 to 14 days, but full healing may take several weeks. Swelling and bruising are common in the first two weeks, with final results becoming more visible over the next few months. Dr. Morisada provides personalized post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.

Can a neck lift be combined with other procedures?

Yes! A neck lift is often combined with procedures like a facelift, chin augmentation or liposuction to create a more youthful, balanced appearance. During your consultation, Dr. Morisada will assess your goals and recommend the best approach for natural-looking, long-lasting results.

Will a neck lift get rid of a double chin?

A neck lift can dramatically reduce sagging skin and excess fat under the chin, improving jawline definition. However, if a double chin is primarily caused by stubborn fat, neck liposuction may be recommended alongside a neck lift to achieve the best contouring results.

Will a neck lift make my jawline look more defined?

Yes! A neck lift tightens the area under the jawline, creating a more defined profile and sharper “edges” between the face and neck. Dr. Morisada’s technique aims to achieve a naturally elegant neckline without being “overdone.”
