A neck lift provides dramatic, instant cosmetic improvement to sagging jowls, redundant neck skin, vertical neck bands, and excess fat under the chin known as submental fat (a double chin).
This surgical procedure aims to tighten skin along with the musculature and supportive tissues in the neck area, thereby helping men and women to take several years off their appearance. A neck lift may be performed on its own, or it may be done in conjunction with other anti-aging facial procedures such as a facelift, eyelid surgery, brow lift, or dermal wrinkles fillers depending on the cosmetic concerns expressed by the patient during the consultation process.
Landon Plastic Surgery designs treatment plans that can meet every need. Neck lift surgery may be suitable for patients that have the following cosmetic concerns in the neck region:
- Wrinkles and skin laxity of the neck
- Loose jowls for improved jawline definition
- Excess neck fat and skin that accumulates beneath the jaw
- Pronounced neckbands due to loose or separated neck muscles and thinning skin

Neck Lift Surgery Procedure
Your neck lift surgery may be performed under general anesthesia.
The neck lift surgery time can take approximately 1 to 2 hours in length, although this may vary depending on the extent of correction that is desired, as well as whether additional cosmetic procedures such as eyelift or facelift surgery are being performed at the same time.
Dr. Landon, Tampa neck lift surgeon, excises the extra skin and fat in the neck and jawline, as well as tightens the neck muscle (platysmas muscle) to get rid of neckbands if indicated. The patient will be made aware of the recommended treatment plan, pre-operative instructions, and related neck lift risks prior to surgery day.
