A Neck Lift, or lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that improves visible signs of aging in the jawline and neck, by removing loose skin, extra fat and banding in the neck, which created abnormal contours.
A Neck Lift can rejuvenate your neck and is less invasive than a facelift. It is common to neglect the neck, focusing your skincare ritual on your face, and allowing your neck to age faster. Weight changes can be very visible in the neck, causing premature aging.
A Neck Lift offers a smoother and more toned appearance to skin under the chin and neck area that has lost elasticity. An elegant neck contour is associated not only with a youthful appearance but also with health and vitality.
Neck Lift Candidates
Patients who may not be ready for a full facelift but may have excess wrinkling of the neck skin, a double chin, and jowl lines. In these cases, a neck lift may be the solution. Schedule your consultation today with the trusted team at Dermacare Plastic Surgery to find out if a neck lift is what you need.

A neck lift procedure involves the surgical removal of excess skin and fat from the neck to fight the signs of aging. The goal is to achieve a smoother, slimmer neck profile.
How Long Does a Neck Lift Last?
Depending on the extent of the surgery, the results of a neck lift can last 5-15 years. Results will depend on various factors, including the condition of your skin at the time of treatment, your age and lifestyle, as well as the skill of the surgeon.
How Painful is a Neck Lift?
As with any surgical procedure, some discomfort following surgery is expected with a neck lift. However, most patients describe their pain as mild. Dr. Rod can prescribe pain medication if required to ensure you are comfortable during recovery.
The Neck Lift Process Explained
How to Prepare for a Neck Lift
At Dermacare Plastic Surgery, we are dedicated to educating our patients regarding their treatment, so they feel fully prepared for their procedure. Dr. Rod will explain the neck lift procedure process to you in detail during your consultation process.
What to Expect During Neck Lift Surgery?
Neck lift surgeries are performed on an outpatient basis, so you can return home after surgery to heal. During the procedure, our anesthesiologist will effectively administer anesthesia, so you feel no pain. Depending on the degree of change desired, a traditional neck lift incision or a limited neck lift incision will be created. Through these incisions, muscles are tightened, and excess skin removed. Incisions will be closed with sutures. Once healed, incision lines will be concealed within the hairline and ear contours.
Neck Lift Recovery
You can expect the following after your neck lift surgery:
As swelling and bruising subside, visible improvements appear.
Your final result should provide a more youthful and rested appearance.
You may feel more confident about yourself.
It can take several months or longer for swelling to fully dissipate and up to six months for incision lines to mature. Life-long sun protection and a healthy lifestyle will help extend your youthful appearance.
If your neck skin appears to have lost its natural elasticity and sags, or if there is excess skin or fat that you wish to remove, many excellent solutions are available, including neck lift surgery. To find out whether a neck lift is right for you, please contact Dr. Rod at Dermacare Plastic Surgery today to schedule your consultation. We proudly serve patients in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Goodyear, Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, and Tempe, Arizona.
COUNTLESS. POSITIVE. REVIEWS.
Had a few procedures here and am coming back for another. I trust these guys because they earned it. Highly recommended.
Dr Rod is a very skilled surgeon. After losing more than half my body weight, I had several different procedures done. A lot of extra skin removal and reconstruction. My results were fantastic! His staff is so friendly and pleasant to work with. His nurse Julie is incredibly kind and helpful. I highly recommend this place.
Love Doc Rod and Julie, all so friendly, kind and helpful.
