Rejuvenate Your Appearance with a Custom Neck Lift
Our neck lift in San Jose restores the youthful, firm look to your neck and lower jaw with a custom surgery. Those who struggle with sagging or creased neck skin, wrinkles, a double chin and sagging jawline can look years younger with this custom procedure. This surgery can also smooth unsightly vertical neck bands.
What is a Neck Lift?
The neck is often one of the first areas of the body to show signs of aging – even before the face.
Beyond just wrinkles, the skin and the muscle of the neck may loosen, creating what we call a “turkey neck.” Occasionally, the problem is a double chin, which is the result of fat in the neck.
A neck lift complements a facelift by tightening the neck skin, correcting loose muscles, and may include conservative liposuction of the fat under the chin and jawline.
What is the General Cost of a Neck Lift?
Because our surgeries are customized for each patient, we don’t provide an exact price until we’ve had a chance to evaluate your neck and your cosmetic goals. We recommend setting up a consultation with us where we can discuss the cost of a neck lift surgery in more detail.

Many patients opt to have a neck lift and facelift concurrently to reverse the signs of aging from the cheeks to the clavicle.
What is the Procedure Like?
In most cases, a neck lift in Palo Alto is performed under local anesthesia. The incisions are usually made behind the ears or delicately hidden in the hairline. A small incision under the chin may also be necessary. With a properly performed surgery and normal healing, the incisions should be imperceptible to all but your closest friends and family.
Excess skin is removed, and liposuction is used, if necessary, to remove excess fatty tissue. The underlying muscles are tightened and reshaped. The skin is then redraped for a tighter, more youthful look. You will not feel any pain.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can a neck lift remove a turkey wattle?
A: A turkey wattle refers to the wrinkled and sagging skin tissues hanging from the neck. A neck lift can remove the turkey wattle to streamline your neck and enhance your facial contours. However, you’ll have to discuss your treatment options to determine which specific neck lift style suits your needs.
Q: At what age can one get a neck lift?
A: A neck lift procedure can be performed on an adult of any age. However, you should have at least minor or early signs of aging, and you must be in generally good physical and mental health. As such, a neck lift is usually performed on individuals between the ages of 30 and 70.
Q: How long do neck lift results last?
A: Your neck lift surgery results may last 10 to 15 years, depending on your skin conditions and lifestyle. You should also note that the neck lift reverses signs of aging but doesn’t stop the aging process altogether, so your skin will continue producing fresh wrinkles, fine lines, and other aging signs.
Q: How much does a neck lift cost?
A: No two patients are alike, no two neck lift surgeries are alike, and likewise, no two surgery costs are the same. A neck lift's overall cost varies widely, depending on several factors, including the anesthesia expenses, medical examinations, treatment area, surgery style, and the surgeon’s fees.
