Neck lift surgery involves removing excess skin or fat from under the chin and on the neck and repositioning the remaining tissue to produce a firmer, more elegant neckline and a well-defined strong jaw contour.

These state-of-the-art techniques make neck lift surgery a safe and relatively quick procedure that dramatically enhances aesthetic appearance.

Neck Lift Recovery
Recovery from neck surgery is straightforward. After the procedure you will be transferred to the recovery room. Your vital signs and wounds will be checked by our experienced surgical nurse. A family member can be with you during the immediate recovery process. The patient is usually discharged from our facility 1-2 hours after the surgery. The dressing around the neck should remain undisturbed till seen again the next day. A family member or a responsible adult should drive you home and stay with you. The next day Dr. Jaibaji will see you in the office and the dressings will be changed. The drain will also be removed.
The sutures are usually dissolvable, but any non dissolvable sutures will be removed by Dr. Jaibaji after 1- 2 weeks.
The bruising will take about two weeks to completely resolve. The swelling may take 3-6 weeks. During that time the shape will get better and better.
Dr. Jaibaji may recommend that some patients wear compression bandages to facilitate faster healing. Most patients are able to return to work within one -two weeks of their surgery. To find out whether neck lift surgery is right for you, contact our practice today.
