What Is Neck Lift Surgery?
A neck lift is a cosmetic procedure designed to address sagging skin, excess fat, and signs of aging in the neck and jawline area. Often, the neck shows visible aging before the face, resulting in loose skin, jowls, or a lack of definition along the jaw and neck.
During a neck lift, Dr. Arnold Breitbart carefully removes excess skin and, when needed, tightens underlying muscles to create a smoother, firmer, and more youthful neck contour. The procedure can also reduce the appearance of “double chins” or fatty deposits under the jawline, enhancing overall facial balance.
Patients who undergo a neck lift typically notice a dramatic improvement in their profile. The results create a defined jawline, a smoother neck, and a rejuvenated appearance that can make patients look many years younger. With Dr. Breitbart’s expertise and artistic approach, the outcome is natural, refreshed, and tailored to each patient’s unique facial structure.

Neck Lift FAQs
The neck region may show aging faster than the face. Neck lift surgery can dramatically improve the appearance of the neck. This results in a more natural appearance while providing improved contour and definition.
Many people develop neckbands also referred to as “turkey waddle” around their necks, which can be unsightly because of the sagging and loose skin. Neck lift surgery addresses this, by tightening the skin and underlying muscle, and reshaping the contours of the area.
The recovery time is usually about one week. Most patients experience some discomfort after surgery that can be relieved through painkillers. Strenuous activity should be avoided for at lest two weeks. There will be some initial swelling which will gradually subside over time.
Neck lift surgery can be performed in young adults, as well as in more elderly patients.
