Redefine the Contours of Your Neck and Jawline

At Clark Institute for Aesthetics, our neck lift in Orlando is performed by board-certified, award-winning plastic surgeons who specialize in refining the natural contours of the neck and jawline. This advanced procedure addresses sagging skin, muscle laxity, and excess fat to restore a smoother, more defined, and youthful profile.

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.

Benefits of a Neck Lift

  • Refines jawline and neck definition
  • Reduces sagging and banding of neck muscles
  • Eliminates excess skin and fat beneath the chin
  • Restores youthful, natural contours
  • Produces long-lasting, elegant results

I feel the look is so natural and refreshed

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr Clark and his entire team. Every step was explained in detail and executed without a problem. The aftercare has been phenomenal. I’m now 15 weeks post-surgery and over the moon with my results. I feel the look is so natural and refreshed, exactly what I’d hoped it would be.

Ideal Candidates for a Neck Lift

You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Notice fullness or excess fat under the chin
  • Desire a sharper, more youthful neck and jawline

How the Neck Lift Procedure Works

Anesthesia and Incisions

A neck lift in Orlando 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.

Who is a good candidate for neck lift surgery?

Ideal candidates are healthy non-smokers who are bothered by loose skin, fullness under the chin, or muscle laxity in the neck area. Patients should also have realistic expectations about their surgical results.
