Sculpted Neckline
A neck lift, also known as lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that aims to smooth, tighten, and refine the appearance of your neck and jawline. At DeRosa Center, Dr. DeRosa carefully removes excess skin, tightens underlying muscles, and recontours the area for a firmer, more youthful profile. This procedure can address sagging skin, vertical neck bands, jowls, and excess fat in the chin area. The result is a beautifully defined neckline.
Do I Need a Neck Lift?
A neck lift may be right for you if you’ve noticed your neck and jawline losing their youthful firmness or contour. Dr. DeRosa customizes each procedure to help restore smooth, elegant definition to your neck. You may consider a neck lift if:
- You see loose or sagging skin beneath your chin or along your jawline
- You notice vertical neck bands becoming more visible
- You have excess fat, creating a “double chin” appearance
- You want to restore smoother, more youthful neck contours
What Are the Benefits of a Neck Lift?
- Restores a firmer, smoother, and more youthful neck contour
- Defines the jawline and reduces the appearance of jowls
- Eliminates excess skin and tightens underlying muscles
- Improves balance between the face, chin, and neck for natural harmony
- Provides long-lasting, refined results that enhance your confidence
- Complements other procedures, such as a facelift, for comprehensive rejuvenation
How is a Neck Lift Performed?
During your neck lift, Dr. DeRosa begins by making small, well-hidden incisions behind your ears and, when needed, beneath your chin. Through these access points, she tightens and repositions the platysma muscles, the thin sheets that run along the front of your neck, to correct banding and sagging. Excess fat may be removed using precise liposuction or direct excision, and deeper connective tissues are adjusted to create lasting structural support.
Once the foundation is restored, Dr. DeRosa carefully redrapes your skin to achieve a smooth, refined contour without pulling or over-tightening. Fine sutures are placed to promote subtle healing and minimal scarring. The procedure is performed in our private, QUAD A-certified surgical center and usually concludes within an hour or two.

Neck Lift FAQs:
What is the Recovery Like After a Neck Lift?
Most patients take about one to two weeks off work to allow swelling and bruising to subside. You’ll wear a supportive compression dressing for several days to reduce swelling and help the tissues heal in their new position. Strenuous workouts should be avoided for up to six weeks. The initial improvements are visible within a few weeks, but your final results develop gradually as swelling resolves over several months.
How Long Do Neck Lift Results Last?
The results from a neck lift can last ten years or more, depending on factors such as your skin quality, lifestyle, and genetics. While the natural aging process continues, your tightened muscles and redraped skin will maintain a firmer, more youthful structure for years.
Will I Have Visible Scars After Surgery?
Dr. DeRosa places all incisions strategically behind the ears and beneath the chin, where they are discreet and easily concealed. With proper healing and scar care, these lines typically fade into the natural contours of your skin, becoming barely noticeable over time.
