What is A Neck Lift?
Do you frequently wear turtlenecks or scarves to cover up loose flaps of skin hanging from your neck? Dr. Shabnam Ghazizadeh regularly performs neck lift surgery at her Newport Beach, CA cosmetic practice to eliminate signs of aging around the neckline. This cosmetic surgery reshapes and tightens the area under your chin and along the neck to remove the loose skin that creates a "turkey neck" or "double chin." By taking away the loose skin and fat while incorporating a tightening technique to result in a softer neckline, this lower facial surgery at Dr. Ghazizadeh MD can provide striking improvements to your profile. Before scheduling your consultation, we invite you to read below to learn more about how neck lift surgery can help restore your confidence and youthful appearance.
How Does A Neck Lift Work?
Dr. Ghazizadeh carries out neck lift treatments using general anesthesia. To start, an incision will be made just in front of or behind your ears while another one may also be made under your chin. If there are any fatty pockets in your neck, those will be removed with liposuction. Next, any loose skin will be trimmed away and the remaining skin will be pulled tight. This tightening method is performed until the desired contour, shape, and smoothness has been attained. Finally, the incisions will be closed with sutures. Thanks to the location of the incisions, any scarring should be relatively hidden.
A nonsurgical fat reduction injection, such as KYBELLA®, may also be used to complement the results. Also, other nonsurgical alternatives, such as a laser treatment, peel, or IPL therapy, may be used on the skin's surface to create a vibrantly glowing appearance. Following your neck lift, you may expect to experience some light bruising, swelling, or discomfort, but these will fade in time as you recover. You should rest and avoid exercise or strenuous movements and activities for a couple of weeks to assist in a safe recovery. While recovering, fitted clothing near the neck should be avoided. You should notice visible outcomes almost immediately — in fact, many patients say that neck lift surgery has a huge impact on their overall appearance, turning back the hands of time for their skin.
Commonly Corrected Problems In the Neck
There are a wide variety of “problem areas” for which Neck lift surgery patients have been successfully treated. These areas can include (but are not limited to:
- Excess or sagging skin on the neck
- Visible vertical bands or lines on the neck
- Loss of definition along the jawline
- Turkey wattle or double chin appearance
- Neck wrinkles or creases
- Submental fat accumulation
- Jowls or jowl-like appearance in the neck area

The Benefits of a Neck Lift
Embark on a journey to rediscover confidence and embrace your natural beauty with our neck lift services. At Dr. Shabnam's practice, we believe in empowering individuals through transformative cosmetic enhancements that celebrate your unique features. Here are four key benefits of a neck lift procedure:
Enhanced Neck Contours
A neck lift effectively removes excess skin and tightens the underlying muscles, resulting in improved neck contours and a more defined jawline. This enhances the overall appearance of your neck and lower face, restoring a youthful and harmonious profile.
Reduction of Neck Wrinkles and Bands
By addressing loose or sagging skin and tightening the underlying muscles, a neck lift can significantly reduce the appearance of neck wrinkles and vertical bands. This results in smoother, firmer skin and a more youthful neck appearance.
Elimination of Submental Fat
Submental fat, commonly known as a double chin, can detract from facial symmetry and contribute to an aged appearance. A neck lift procedure can remove excess fat deposits in the submental area, resulting in a more streamlined and contoured neck profile.
Boost in Self-Confidence
One of the most significant benefits of a neck lift is the boost in self-confidence that comes from achieving a rejuvenated and more youthful appearance. By addressing aesthetic concerns and enhancing natural beauty, a neck lift can empower individuals to feel more confident and comfortable in their skin.

Neck Lift Before & After
The Neck Lift Process: What to Expect
The neck lift process begins with a thorough consultation with Dr. Ghazizadeh, during which your unique concerns and goals will be discussed in detail. Once it is determined that a neck lift is the right option for you, a personalized surgical plan will be created. On the day of the procedure, you will be comfortably sedated or under general anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the surgery. Dr. Ghazizadeh will make carefully placed incisions, typically hidden within the natural contours of the neck and behind the ears. Excess skin and fat will be removed, and underlying muscles may be tightened to achieve optimal results. After the procedure, you can expect some swelling and bruising, which will gradually subside over the following weeks. Dr. Ghazizadeh will provide detailed post-operative instructions to aid in your recovery and ensure the best possible outcome.
Types of Neck Lift
Embarking on the journey to rejuvenate your neck begins with understanding the various options available to address your unique concerns. Dr. Ghazizadeh offers a range of neck lift techniques tailored to meet individual needs, from comprehensive procedures to minimally invasive alternatives. Whether you're seeking to eliminate sagging skin, redefine your jawline, or reduce submental fullness, our team is committed to guiding you towards the most suitable solution. Explore the different types of neck lift procedures below to discover which approach aligns best with your aesthetic goals and preferences.
TRADITIONAL NECK LIFT (PLATYSMAPLASTY)
This comprehensive procedure targets sagging skin, muscle banding, and excess fat in the neck area. Through carefully placed incisions, Dr. Ghazizadeh tightens the underlying muscles (platysma) and removes excess skin to create a smoother and more youthful neck contour.
MINI NECK LIFT
Ideal for individuals with mild to moderate signs of aging, a mini neck lift addresses sagging skin and excess fat in the neck without extensive incisions or downtime. Dr. Ghazizadeh utilizes smaller incisions, typically hidden behind the ears, to lift and tighten the neck tissues, resulting in a rejuvenated appearance.
LOWER FACELIFT WITH NECK LIFT
This combined procedure targets both the lower face and neck to address signs of aging in these areas comprehensively. Dr. Ghazizadeh focuses on tightening loose skin, eliminating jowls, and defining the jawline, resulting in a more harmonious and youthful facial profile.
SUBMENTAL LIPOSUCTION
Sometimes performed in conjunction with a neck lift, submental liposuction targets excess fat beneath the chin (submental fat) to improve neck contours and enhance overall facial aesthetics. Dr. Ghazizadeh uses minimally invasive techniques to remove stubborn fat deposits, creating a more sculpted and defined neck appearance.
THREAD LIFT
A minimally invasive alternative to traditional neck lift surgery, a thread lift involves the insertion of dissolvable threads beneath the skin to lift and tighten sagging tissues. Dr. Ghazizadeh strategically places these threads to improve neck contours and provide subtle rejuvenation without the need for extensive incisions or downtime.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of getting a neck lift?
A neck lift can provide several aesthetic benefits, including tightening loose or sagging skin, reducing the appearance of neck bands or cords, defining the jawline, and restoring a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance to the neck and lower face. By addressing signs of aging and improving neck contour, a neck lift can enhance overall facial harmony and self-confidence, allowing patients to feel more comfortable and confident in their appearance. Dr. Ghazizadeh customizes each neck lift procedure to achieve natural-looking results that align with the patient's individual goals and preferences.
How is a neck lift procedure performed?
A neck lift procedure typically involves making discreet incisions behind the ears and possibly under the chin, allowing Dr. Ghazizadeh to access underlying neck tissues. Depending on the patient's specific concerns and goals, techniques such as liposuction, muscle tightening, and skin excision may be utilized to address excess fat, lax muscles, and loose skin. Once the desired improvements are made, incisions are carefully closed, and dressings or bandages are applied to support the healing process. Dr. Ghazizadeh employs advanced surgical techniques and tailors each procedure to achieve natural-looking results with minimal scarring and downtime.
What is the recovery process like after a neck lift?
The recovery process after a neck lift varies among individuals but typically involves initial swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which gradually improve over the first few weeks following surgery. Patients may experience tightness or numbness in the neck area, which subsides as healing progresses. Dr. Ghazizadeh provides detailed postoperative instructions and medications to manage symptoms and optimize healing. Patients are advised to rest with their head elevated, avoid strenuous activities, and follow a personalized recovery plan to ensure a smooth and successful recovery. Regular follow-up appointments allow Dr. Ghazizadeh to monitor progress and address any concerns throughout the recovery process.
When can I expect to see the final results of a neck lift?
While initial improvements are noticeable soon after surgery, the final results of a neck lift become more apparent as swelling subsides, and tissues settle into their new position. Most patients can expect to see significant improvement in neck contour and definition within 3 to 6 months after surgery, with continued refinement over the following months. Dr. Ghazizadeh ensures that patients have realistic expectations about the timeline for recovery and final results, providing ongoing support and guidance throughout the healing process.
How long do the results of a neck lift typically last?
The longevity of neck lift results varies among individuals and depends on factors such as age, skin quality, lifestyle factors, and genetics. While a neck lift cannot stop the natural aging process, it can significantly rejuvenate the neck area and provide long-lasting improvement in neck contour and definition. With proper skincare, sun protection, and a healthy lifestyle, patients can enjoy the benefits of a neck lift for many years. Dr. Ghazizadeh discusses strategies for maintaining results and optimizing longevity during the consultation and follow-up appointments.
How much does a neck lift cost?
The cost of a neck lift varies depending on factors such as the extent of the procedure, surgical techniques used, geographic location, facility fees, anesthesia costs, and additional expenses such as preoperative evaluations and postoperative care. Dr. Ghazizadeh's office can provide detailed pricing information during the consultation, tailored to the individual's specific needs and goals. Financing options may be available to help make neck lift surgery more accessible for patients.
Neck Lift Recovery
Following your neck lift procedure, you will be monitored in a recovery area until you are cleared to return home. Dr. Ghazizadeh will provide detailed post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery process. It is common to experience some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in the neck area, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication and cold compresses. You may need to wear a supportive garment or compression bandage to minimize swelling and support the healing tissues.
It is essential to follow all post-operative care guidelines provided by Dr. Ghazizadeh to optimize your results and minimize complications. While individual recovery experiences may vary, most patients can expect to resume normal activities within a few weeks, with final results becoming apparent as swelling subsides and the tissues settle into their new contours. Rest assured, our team is dedicated to supporting you every step of the way during your neck lift recovery journey.
