Overview

Commonly referred to as “turkey neck,” a saggy neck can be improved by a neck lift which removes excessive fat and tightens the muscles in the neck to achieve a more streamlined look. Loose skin around the neck can be a result of several factors including weight loss, aging, or gravity. Regardless of the cause, South Denver plastic surgeon, Dr. Manish Shah, is able to perform neck lift surgery effectively improve a wide variety of cases. In some cases, Dr. Shah will pair a neck lift with liposuction to augment the benefits of the surgery. The results can be quite dramatic since the profile is greatly altered, resulting in a leaner, more youthful appearance with reduced lines and wrinkles. With over 3000 face and neck lift procedures performed since starting practice in the Denver area in 2005, there isn’t another surgeon in Colorado with this kind of experience. Our patients from Denver and the surrounding region can rely on Dr. Shah to achieve their goals safely and naturally in facial rejuvenation surgery.

What Are The Benefits Of A Neck Lift?

We encourage our South Denver patients who are considering a neck lift to keep in mind the following benefits this procedure provides:

Smoothes skin that wrinkles and folds below the jawline
Minimally-invasive procedure that yields a discrete amount of scarring
Short recovery period that returns you to your everyday life quickly
Increase self-esteem and confidence in your facial profile and overall appearance

Who Is A Candidate for A Neck Lift?

Factors like age and significant weight loss can lead to excess skin around the neck. This is because the skin in this area is thinner and more delicate than other parts of the body. Candidates for a neck lift are typically in good health and have realistic expectations for their surgical outcomes. Shah Aesthetic Surgery can determine your eligibility during a consultation. Dr. Shah will make sure you are physically and emotionally prepared to undergo this innovative procedure and that you have a clear understanding of our processes.

Surgical Technique

A neck lift removes hanging skin and reshapes the neck. During the procedure, an incision is placed under the chin and/or behind or in front of the ears. If fat deposits are present and need to be removed, liposuction will be used during the surgery and performed first. The final steps of treatment will be to trim away excess skin, pull the remaining underlying tissue and muscle tight, and suture the incision.

During/After Surgery

This procedure is performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient surgery at an accredited surgical clinic. The duration of the surgery usually takes around 2 hours, although it may vary depending on the case. Bruising and swelling will be visible after the surgery, but this will subside in the few short days following the procedure. Initially, patients will feel tightness and numbness. Once the neck adjusts to its new position, patients will notice a more relaxed feeling and a beautiful surgical result. It can take up to 6 months for the final results to appear.

Dr. Shah made me feel comfortable every time I saw him – I had a revision rhinoplasty by Dr. Shah and I couldn’t be happier. I had a rhinoplasty in 2005 that I was never really happy with. As I reached my mid-40’s my nose started to get lumpy and you could actually see and feel the bumps on the bridge of my nose. I wanted to get a revision but didn’t have the time to focus on it, until COVID. I live in a mid-sized city (Colorado Springs, CO) and I believe I went to every plastic surgeon in CS and I could see doctors faces become uncomfortable when I would go in for a consult for a revision. Most of them just made me uncomfortable with how defensive they would become. I found Dr. Shah through research on the internet and went in for my consult. Within 30 seconds of looking at my nose he said “I know how to fix this” and boy did he ever. I didn’t want a drastic change and he gave me that as well. Dr. Shah has a system for minimal bruising that works magic and I had very little bruising after my surgery. Dr. Shah is professional and made me feel comfortable every time I saw him. The staff (especially Brenda) is amazing too. I like them all so much I am going back in several months for a neck lift and and chin implant. I will get pictures posted eventually but if you are considering a rhinoplasty revision – Dr. Shah is AMAZING and you will not be disappointed.

Neck Lift FAQs

Alternative to Lift?

Surgery is the only way to remove loose skin, especially if it is loose enough to hang and droop. Therefore, a neck lift is the only solution when it comes to redefining an individual’s neck to create a strong contour. While there are some very good skin tightening laser treatments on the market today, surgery is still the best option.

Hidden Scars?

There is minimal scarring with this procedure. Since the incision is placed under the chin and near the ears, the scarring is usually hidden. A skilled facial surgeon will take great effort to minimize scarring as much as possible.

Ideal Age?

This depends on the situation and the amount of loose and sagging skin that is present. Some weight loss patients are young and may require a neck lift at a young age (for example, those between 20-30). For older patients who are combatting loose skin due to aging, the most common age is between 50-70.

Combination Surgery?

During the initial consultation, it may be brought up that in addition to a neck lift, the patient may also benefit from another procedure, such as a facelift or a chin implant. It is common for these additional procedures to be combined to achieve the patient’s desired contours and aesthetic goals.
