Your Trusted Providers for Neck Lift Surgery in Portland

For many people, signs of aging start to appear in the neck and beneath the chin before they show up in the face. Loose, sagging skin and stubborn excess fat in this area creates the appearance of a “double chin” or the dreaded “turkey neck.” At Portland Plastic Surgery Group, our skilled plastic surgeons offer neck lift, which can greatly reduce these signs of aging to give your neck a younger, more contoured appearance.

Can a Neck Lift Be Combined With Other Procedures?

Yes, it’s relatively common for a neck lift to be combined with other procedures. Most commonly, the surgery is combined with neck liposuction to remove excess submental fat while also tightening the skin and tissue. Alternatively, a neck lift can be combined with a facelift to comprehensively rejuvenate the patient’s appearance above the shoulders.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Neck Lift in Portland?

If you’re an adult experiencing loose, sagging skin around the neck, you could be a good candidate for a neck lift. The procedure is ideal for men and women who would like to achieve a tighter, more youthful neck as well as a more defined jawline and chin.

While a neck lift is a safe and effective procedure for many adults, we do not recommend it for everyone. A neck lift may not be right for you if you meet any of the following criteria:

Are currently pregnant or breastfeeding
Have a serious medical condition
Are a smoker

What to Expect During Your Neck Lift in Portland

Before your neck lift, you’ll sit down with one of our expert surgeons for a private consultation. During this meeting, you’ll discuss your goals for the procedure as well as your medical history and any questions you may have.

At Portland Plastic Surgery Group, our cosmetic surgeons perform neck lift procedures at our outpatient surgery center. Once you’ve been administered general anesthesia, your surgeon will make small incisions in hidden areas behind or beneath the ears. He or she will then carefully tighten and/or remove excess skin to firm and tighten the neck.

On average, a neck lift takes around two to three hours to complete. After the procedure, our team will need to monitor you for a couple of hours. You’ll then be able to return home with a friend or family member driving you.

Your Neck Lift Recovery

Most patients need approximately one to three weeks of rest and recovery after neck lift surgery before resuming their normal routines. During your recovery, you can expect to experience swelling, soreness, and bruising in the treated area. You can alleviate the swelling by sleeping with your head elevated, and your surgeon will also prescribe pain medication. While your body heals, you’ll need to get lots of rest and stay hydrated. Although you can start easing back into your normal routine after a couple of weeks, you’ll need to wait at least five to six weeks to engage in heavy lifting or strenuous physical activity.

Neck Lift FAQ

What is the ideal age for neck lift surgery?

While there’s no “ideal age” for undergoing a neck lift, the best candidates for the procedure are typically between the ages of 35 and 65.

When will I see the full results of my neck lift?

The complete results of your neck lift will develop gradually as your swelling subsides. This process can take anywhere from two to six months.

Will I have scarring after my neck lift?

During your neck lift, your surgeon will ensure that the incisions are as small and inconspicuous as possible. There will still be some visible scarring, but as long as you follow your surgeon’s postoperative instructions, it should heal completely within a month.

What are the risks of a neck lift?

Like any surgical procedure, a neck lift carries certain risks, such as infection, bleeding, poor wound healing, and reaction to the anesthesia. However, selecting a qualified plastic surgeon like those on our team at Portland Plastic Surgery will help minimize the likelihood of any serious complications.
