Elevate Your Look With a Neck Lift in Toledo

Excess skin, visible bands, or fullness around the neck can significantly affect how you see yourself—and how others perceive your facial harmony.

At pēkomd®, we blend advanced surgical methods with a patient-first philosophy, ensuring each step is tailored to your health, preferences, and overall comfort. Whether you're motivated by early signs of aging or seeking a refresh after weight fluctuations, our board-certified team is ready to guide you look better, feel better, and ultimately do better every day. Curious about how a neck lift can transform your lower face? Contact pēkomd® now to schedule a one-on-one consultation and explore your personalized path to a more confident appearance.

What Is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift (lower rhytidectomy) refines and tightens the skin, muscles, and tissues around the neck region. Often performed through small, discreet incisions behind the ears or under the chin, the procedure adjusts underlying structures—removing excess fat, repositioning sagging muscles, and trimming loose skin. The end result is a cleaner jawline, reduced “turkey neck,” and a more elegant, elongated neck shape.

At pēkomd®, our board-certified providers recognize that no two necks are exactly alike. We factor in your unique anatomy, from the thickness of your skin to the distribution of fat, to recommend an approach that complements your natural features. If you have concerns about neighboring areas—like the lower cheeks or jowls—we may discuss additional treatments, ensuring a smooth, cohesive result that harmonizes with your face as a whole.

Neck Lift Benefits

When performed with precision and an eye for detail, a neck lift can rejuvenate your profile and boost self-confidence:

  • Reduced appearance of loose or sagging skin
  • Smoother, tighter neck contours
  • Improved definition along the jawline
  • Less prominent vertical banding
  • Natural-looking, balanced enhancements
  • Greater satisfaction with photos and daily activities
  • Seamless integration with other facial features

What to Expect During Your Neck Lift Procedure at pēkomd

Before we schedule your surgery, you'll sit down for a comprehensive consultation at our Toledo location, where a board-certified surgeon will take note of your health history, assess your neck's current state, and discuss your vision for improvement. We might suggest combining a neck lift in Toledo with options like liposuction or a mini facelift if you're seeking more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. On surgery day, you'll arrive at our accredited facility, where safety and comfort guide every phase.

After anesthesia is administered—often general anesthesia or sedation—your surgeon makes subtle incisions around the ears or under the chin to access the underlying neck muscles and tissues. Excess fat may be gently removed, while muscles are tightened and skin is re-draped for a more youthful shape. Finally, we carefully close the incisions and move you to a recovery space, providing detailed aftercare instructions to foster a smooth transition home.

Are You an Ideal Candidate for a Neck Lift?

A neck lift in Toledo may be suitable if you're troubled by loose neck skin, excess fat under the chin, or bands that stretch vertically along the neck, causing it to appear older or heavier. Typically, ideal candidates have relatively good health, maintain stable body weight, and display realistic expectations about potential outcomes. If you're also concerned about laxity in the mid-face or cheeks, combining procedures could yield a more unified facial enhancement. During your consultation at pēkomd®, our board-certified team examines factors like skin elasticity and muscle tone to see if neck surgery aligns with your specific goals. If non-surgical therapies or alternative procedures (like injectables or fat transfer) would better fit your level of aging or lifestyle constraints, we'll be open about those options and the benefits they offer.

Recovering After Your Neck Lift Surgery

Most people experience some level of swelling, bruising, or mild discomfort for the first one to two weeks. Over-the-counter or doctor-prescribed pain relievers can address any soreness, and your provider may recommend wearing a supportive garment to keep the newly positioned tissues stable as they heal. Avoiding strenuous activities—like vigorous workouts or heavy lifting—during this time ensures you don't strain the incisions or disrupt underlying adjustments.

We'll schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing and confirm that the swelling subsides normally. As weeks pass, you'll watch your neck and jawline settle into the refined contours achieved by the procedure. While minor tightness or numbness can persist temporarily, a comfortable, natural look should emerge within a few months, helping you look better, feel better, and carry yourself with fresh assurance in day-to-day life.

Neck Lift Frequently Asked Questions

Interested in discovering how a neck lift in Toledo can sharpen your neckline and rejuvenate your appearance? Contact pēkomd® now to arrange a consultation and open the door to a more contoured, youthful silhouette.

How long do the effects of a neck lift usually last?

Many patients enjoy the benefits for five to ten years. Individual factors—like genetics, lifestyle, and skin health—can influence how long your results persist.

Will there be visible scars?

Our surgeons typically place incisions behind the ears or beneath the chin, areas that help camouflage scarring. Over time, these lines tend to fade and become far less noticeable.

Can a neck lift address a “double chin”?

Yes, if the excess fullness is caused by surplus fat under the jaw, liposuction can be used in tandem with a neck lift to refine the chin-neck angle and reduce that “double chin” look.

Is a neck lift combined with a facelift necessary?

Not necessarily. While many patients pair these procedures for a more global facial rejuvenation, you might only need a neck lift if the upper face or cheeks aren't a concern.

What kind of anesthesia is used?

Neck lifts often use general anesthesia, though sedation with local anesthesia can suffice if the scope is smaller. We'll discuss your options for maximum comfort and safety.
