As we age, the skin on our neck loses elasticity, leading to lines, wrinkles, and sagging. These changes can affect the jawline, chin, and neck area, making you look older. At pēkomd® in Columbus, our board-certified plastic surgeon, offers comprehensive neck lift surgery to restore a youthful and contoured appearance to your neck.
Neck Lift Surgery: The Solution for a Youthful Neck
A neck lift, also known as a lower rhytidectomy, addresses significant sagging and loose skin in the neck area. This surgical procedure involves removing excess skin, tightening the underlying muscles, and sometimes removing or repositioning excess fat. The result is a smoother, firmer neck and a more defined jawline. Our expertise ensures natural-looking results that enhance your overall facial harmony.
The Neck Lift Procedure
Neck lift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia. During the procedure, we will make incisions behind the ears and, if necessary, a small incision under the chin. Through these incisions, he will:
- Remove Excess Skin: Trim away any sagging or loose skin.
- Tighten Muscles: Tighten the platysma muscle to reduce banding and create a firmer neck contour.
- Reposition Fat: Remove or redistribute fat deposits to enhance the neck and jawline’s definition.
The procedure can take several hours, depending on the extent of correction needed. Recovery time varies, but most patients return to normal activities within two weeks, with full results visible in a few months.

Non-Surgical Neck Tightening Options
For those in the early stages of neck aging or looking for less invasive options, pēkomd® offers effective non-surgical treatments:
Radiofrequency (RF) Skin Tightening
RF skin tightening is a non-invasive treatment that uses thermal energy to stimulate collagen production in the deep layers of the skin. This process firms and tightens the skin over time, providing a more youthful appearance. The treatment involves no downtime, and results gradually become evident over weeks and months.
