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.

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.

Dr. Markov is one of the best microsurgeons in Southwest Ohio

I have had surgery is some of the top hospitals in Ohio and beyond. Dr. Markov is one of the best microsurgeons in Southwest Ohio, and the surrounding areas.His education, military background, and work experience speaks for itself. I have found him to be professional, highly-skilled, and he has excellent bedside manner. Dr. Markov treated me with respect, educated me about my options, and empowered me to decide what breast reconstruction option best for me. He approached my reconstruction surgery like Michelangelo to a painting. He was detailed oriented and cared about my final outcomes. I couldn't be happier with his performance. I highly recommend Dr. Markov for any cancer related or cosmetics surgery.

Mr. Dr. Fourman has been the best doctor hands down

Mr. Dr. Fourman has been the best doctor hands down so far that I have ever experienced in my life so far and I only have had my first office visit. He is so polite, listens and exsplained in full detail. He made me feel heard and he actually listened to me as his patient and did not belittle or make me feel like i was uneducated or wrong for my reasons to be vivisting his office. Thank you to Dr. Fourman and his wonderful staff members!

Dr. Straka is very personable, professional, and earned my trust right away!

My daughter first had some work done a few years ago with Dr. Straka. Of course she was/is a beautiful girl in every way, but this definitely enhanced things for her. I inherited the worst bags you could ever imagine. Getting older I thought let me do something for me! I scheduled a consult and I am truly sad that I had not gone sooner.

Dr. Straka is very personable, professional, and earned my trust right away! I am only 10 days post op and I love my new look already! Cristina has been very attentive from day one. I am still being checked on today. Dr. Straka is doing great things at pekomd! I highly recommend him to anyone!!!!!!! He gets a 100 stars

I would say Dr. Markov is a bit of a perfectionist.

After learning I had breast cancer a second time in 2023 I opted to have a bilateral mastectomy with a DIEP flap reconstruction. I looked into 3 different doctors and while I am sure they are all very capable, I chose Dr. Markov. He was straight forward and to the point and he was local. I really liked his approach and he made me feel very comfortable. Today I had my 4 week post op appointment from the final phase of the reconstruction and I am thrilled with the results. I feel and look like myself again. Honestly they look better than they did before my mastectomy. I would say Dr. Markov is a bit of a perfectionist. The only thing left, if I opt to do this, is the tattooing. I am not sure if I am going to do that just yet, because they already look so good. Anyhow, I would 100 % recommend Dr. Markov.

Wish I had done this 10 years sooner.

Don't put it off any longer!
If you have thought about weight-loss surgery, Dr. Fourman is the Dr. you need to see! He's very personable, understands and is caring.I followed all the pre op instructions, did out patient, in the morning, and was up and moving around very well by that evening. He's staff is wonderful too. There are no scary front desk reception. Everyone there knows what your going through. Wish I had done this 10 years sooner. Like I said...Don't put it off for another year!

I couldn't be more pleased with my experience with Dr. Straka and Kaleigh! Dr. Straka took the time to thoroughly explain my condition, answer all my questions, and walk me through the entire procedure.

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.
