Rejuvenate Your Neck with Expert Neck Lift Surgery
A neck lift is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance of the jawline and neck. It can decrease the signs of aging, smooth asymmetric contours, and treat excess skin and fatty deposits under the neck and chin.
Aging, heredity, environment, and stress are all factors that can cause a loss of the contours and shapeliness of the chin, neck, and jawline. Patients who opt for a neck lift in Chicago seek to improve visible sagging and prominent jowls.

WHAT IS A NECK LIFT?
People often get a neck lift to combat aging by removing loose neck skin, preventing jowls from forming, removing excess fatty deposits, and resolving muscle banding around the neck.
This process creates a youthful look for the neck, reducing wrinkles and sagging, as well as a double chin and a turkey-wattle neck. The neck lift can often be paired with a facelift for more comprehensive rejuvenation.
BENEFITS OF A NECK LIFT
- Improved Contour: Tightens loose skin and redefines the jawline for a youthful appearance.
- Reduction of Fat Deposits: Removes excess fat beneath the chin and along the jawline.
- Enhanced Skin Quality: Tightens remaining tissue, resulting in firmer skin texture.
- Long-Lasting Results: Many patients enjoy enduring improvements with proper care.
- Minimal Scarring: Incisions are strategically placed to reduce visible scarring.
- Aesthetic Harmony: Enhances balance between the neck and face.
AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR A NECK LIFT?
- Deflation: Noticeable fat loss and hollowness below the cheeks or in the neck/jaw.
- Radial Expansion: Weakening facial ligaments cause loose jawline and smile lines.
- Neck Sagging: Accumulated fat and loose skin around the jaw and neck.
Those with chronic conditions, anesthesia allergies, or smokers may not be ideal candidates. Non-smokers with good overall health are best suited for this procedure.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A CONSULTATION
Always consult with Dr. Parit A. Patel to understand risks and recovery. We will review your medical history, expectations, and offer a comprehensive overview of the procedure and pricing.
HOW IS A NECK LIFT PERFORMED?
The procedure uses general or local anesthesia. Based on goals, your surgeon may perform a traditional or limited incision neck lift. Excess skin is removed, and underlying tissue is repositioned for a smoother contour. Incisions are closed with sutures.
RECOVERY AFTER A NECK LIFT
It’s an outpatient procedure. Expect bruising and swelling. Follow Dr. Patel’s care instructions for medications and activity limits. Avoid neck twisting and applying ice. Full results show within a month.
HOW MUCH DOES A NECK LIFT COST?
Average cost is ~$4,500. This varies based on surgeon, location, and goals. Insurance does not cover cosmetic procedures. Financing options are available.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Will there be visible scars after my surgery?
While all surgical procedures involve some degree of scarring, skilled surgeons aim to place incisions in discreet locations that are less noticeable over time—often under the chin or behind the ears—to minimize visibility.
Can I combine other procedures with my neck lift?
Yes, many patients combine their neck lifts with facelifts or eyelid surgeries for comprehensive rejuvenation effects across multiple areas of concern during one recovery period.
What type of anesthesia is used during the procedure?
A neck lift is usually performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the complexity of your case and your surgeon's recommendation.
How long do the results of a neck lift last?
The longevity of results varies by individual but can last several years with proper care. Skin type, age, and lifestyle choices significantly affect how long results may endure.

This is a 3 month follow-up for an otoplasty or ear pinning procedure. The patient was bothered by how far his ears projected forward and how his ears were a major focus of his appearance. In the post-operative photos, the ears have been re-positioned in a more aesthetic and natural way. The patient’s facial features now become the focal point of his appearance and not the ears. A relatively simple yet powerful procedure. Posted with permission.

This is a 2 year follow-up revision rhinoplasty case. The patient had had 2 prior rhinoplasties in the past and was bothered by the nasal deviation, the dorsal hump, and the under-rotated and under-projected tip. In the post-operative views, you can see the nose is straighter, symmetric dorsal aesthetic lines have been established, the dorsal hump was removed, and the tip was elevated and rotated. It’s amazing how a more symmetric and proportional nose improves the balance and overall aesthetics of the face. Posted with permission.

This is a great example of how buccal fat removal changes the face. Buccal fat removal involves removing fat from the lower cheeks and the purpose is to narrow the lower 1/3 of the face. With removal of the buccal fat pad, the face appears less round and more angular or V-shaped. Buccal fat removal was popularized and trending during the pandemic, however, not everyone is a good candidate for this procedure. Ideal candidates are younger patients in their 20-30’s with a rounder face, and excess volume of the lower cheeks. As we age, the face loses volume and therefore patients in their 40’s plus may not be good candidates. An article in our journal from 2021, The Role of Buccal Fat Pad in Facial Aesthetic Surgery, by Drs. Rohrich and Stuzin, highlighted that this procedure can be beneficial in certain patients but if over resected or performed in the wrong patient, can lead to premature aging and midface distortion.

How important is the chin in a rhinoplasty case? This patient’s results show how important the nose-chin relationship is for a balanced and proportional profile. This patient had a crooked nose, a prominent dorsal hump, and a very deficient chin. After straightening her nose, removing the dorsal hump, lifting and refining the tip, and performing a sliding genioplasty; look how much her profile has changed aesthetically for the better.

In facial feminization surgery, a common question we get is how do we contour the forehead and orbital rim. There are two main techniques that craniofacial surgeons utilize. A type 1 technique is where we use a burr or shaving device to shave and contour the bone to set it back or make it less prominent. To be a good candidate for this technique, one would have to have thick bone, a smaller frontal sinus, and less frontal bossing. A type 3 technique is where we use a saw to cut off the outer part of the frontal sinus bone, shave down the forehead and then replace the bone with titanium plates and screws. Good candidates for this procedure are patients with thin bone of the frontal sinus, a large frontal sinus and significant frontal bossing. We determine which technique would best achieve a patient’s goals through a clinical exam and a CT scan. Posted with permission. Videos are educational.
