Restore a smooth, defined neckline and youthful profile with precision neck lift surgery at our Orlando aesthetic center.

Redefine the Contours of Your Neck and Jawline

At Clark Institute for Aesthetics in Orlando, our neck lift procedure refines the natural lines of the neck and jaw, addressing sagging skin, muscle laxity, and excess fat that can obscure definition.

For many patients, the neck is one of the first areas to reveal signs of aging, often resistant to even the best skincare, exercise, or diet. A neck lift restores structure and balance, bringing your outer appearance into harmony with how you feel inside.

What Is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy, is a facial surgery designed to tighten underlying muscles, remove excess skin, and refine the contour beneath the chin and jawline. The procedure creates a smoother, firmer neckline that blends seamlessly with the lower face. It can be performed alone or in combination with a facelift for comprehensive rejuvenation.

How the Neck Lift Procedure Works

Anesthesia and Incisions

A neck lift is typically performed under general anesthesia in our Orlando surgical suite. Incisions are placed strategically around the ear and sometimes beneath the chin, where they can be easily concealed within natural creases.

Muscle and Tissue Tightening

Your surgeon gently tightens the platysma muscles to smooth vertical bands and redefines the angle of the neck. Excess fat is removed or sculpted as needed, and any loose skin is carefully trimmed for a refined result.

Closure and Recovery

Fine sutures are used to close the incisions with precision. Patients recover comfortably in our post-procedure area before returning home the same day under the guidance of our nursing team.

Recovery and Healing

Healing after a neck lift is generally well-tolerated, with gradual improvement over the first few weeks.

Swelling and mild bruising subside within 10 to 14 days
Sutures are typically removed after one week
Light activity can resume in several days
Most patients return to social settings within two weeks
Final results emerge over the following months as tissues settle

Your care team provides comprehensive post-surgical guidance, ensuring your comfort and optimal recovery.

Lasting Results and Natural Refinement

A neck lift restores youthful structure and balance to the lower face, producing results that can last a decade or more. Patients often describe feeling rejuvenated and more confident, with a smoother neckline and improved facial harmony.

For enhanced results, your surgeon may recommend complementary treatments such as liposuction under the chin, facelift, or non-surgical skin tightening for complete rejuvenation.
