Neck Lift
What is a Neck Lift?
The aging process can leave the neck with redundant skin and excessive fat deposits under the chin. A neck lift procedure can improve the jawline and neck area, helping restore a youthful appearance. Facial plastic surgeon Dr. Samuel Hahn of the Maryland Center for Facial Plastic Surgery performs the neck lift in Baltimore for patients throughout Baltimore, Towson, Columbia, and surrounding communities looking to restore a refreshed, youthful appearance.
Many patients seeking facial rejuvenation note increased laxity and fullness around the jawline and under their chin making them look much older than they feel. The neck skin tends to be thinner and less elastic than facial skin and often gets less attention in skin care and sun protection which can accelerate the aging process. A neck lift in Baltimore is a surgical procedure aims to rejuvenate the jawline and neck regions by removing excessive fat deposits, tightening underlying muscular structures, and carefully contouring the lax skin.
Although a comprehensive neck lift in Baltimore can be like a facelift, it can be improved with less invasive procedures, such as liposuction. Often this procedure is combined with other cosmetic surgeries such as blepharoplasty, mid-face augmentation, or facelift for a balanced rejuvenation of the face.
What are the Benefits of a Neck Lift?
From tightening loose neck skin to minimizing lines, neck surgery is an excellent option for people who wish to treat the visible signs of aging that are otherwise difficult to treat with minimally invasive options.
The benefits of neck lift surgery include:
Tighter drooping skin along the neck and jawline
Remove excess fat from the neck and under the chin
Remove excess neck skin contributing to sagging
Reduced vertical neck bands and deep wrinkles
Improved neck and jawline contour
How is a Neck Lift Performed?
A neck lift in Baltimore is a cosmetic procedure that addresses several issues including removal of excess fat, trimming of hanging skin, and the tightening of loose skin around the underlying neck muscles. Liposuction of the chin and neck areas is performed first to smooth and contour the area. This procedure offers dramatic improvements to the visible signs of aging on the neck.
Small incisions under the chin and around the ear are used to tighten the muscles of the neck and remove the excess skin and soft tissue that cause wrinkling and sagginess. The incisions are placed in natural lines and are difficult to detect once healed.
Rejuvenating the neck, you will also complement the facial appearance and often improve contours in the jawline and lower facial features.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Neck Lift?
There are many factors that determine the best treatment options for facial rejuvenation and if a neck lift in Baltimore is suitable for you. An individual’s facial aging including skin texture, elasticity, and facial support structures are a few things that need to be considered. You may be recommended to have additional facial procedures or nonsurgical options after your neck lift in Baltimore such as laser treatments to enhance the outcome of your results or improve skin quality and skin elasticity.
Some areas may be treated with minimally invasive methods, such as Kybella, an injectable treatment that can “melt” the fatty deposits away and permanently destroy fat cells. Most important are your personal goals and desires for facial rejuvenation. During your consultation, Dr. Samuel Hahn will provide an individualized assessment and treatment plan to determine if you are a good candidate for a neck lift.

Pain medication can be prescribed to manage any discomfort for a couple of weeks after surgery. It is important to follow all post-operative instructions provided to ensure optimal healing.
Most patients can resume normal activities within 2 weeks after their neck lift in Baltimore, although strenuous physical activities such as lifting heavy objects should be avoided for at least 4 to 6 weeks. It is vital to keep the surgical incisions clean and protected as they heal.
It is common for patients to experience some numbness or tingling in the neck and chin area after the surgery. This generally resolves over time as the nerves regenerate. It is important to have realistic expectations regarding the results and understand that the full effects of the surgery may take several months to become visible as the swelling subsides and the tissues settle.
