What is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgery designed to enhance the appearance of the neck and jawline by addressing multiple signs of aging. This procedure reduces excess skin and fat, tightens underlying muscles, and improves overall facial contours.

Neck Lift Concerns Addressed

  • Excess fat and skin relaxation creating jowls
  • Fatty deposits under the chin
  • Loose neck skin
  • Muscle banding causing abnormal neck contours

Types of Neck Lift Procedures

Internal Neck Lift

The internal neck lift, or submentoplasty, is ideal for younger patients with minimal skin laxity. This procedure involves precise incisions under the chin to address deep fullness, reduce fat, and tighten muscles without extensive skin removal.

Aging Face Procedure

The comprehensive aging face procedure addresses more advanced signs of aging. This treatment is typically performed alongside a facelift to rejuvenate the midface, jowl, and neck areas, ensuring a balanced and natural-looking result.

Neck Lift Candidacy

Ideal candidates for a neck lift are individuals in good health, non-smokers, with realistic expectations about surgical outcomes. Dr. Cohen will assess your specific aesthetic goals during a personalized consultation to determine the most appropriate approach.

Procedure Details

Neck lift surgery is performed under intravenous sedation, with the specific technique tailored to your individual needs. Dr. Cohen carefully makes strategic incisions to access and reposition tissues, remove excess skin, and create a more youthful neck and jawline contour.

Recovery and Results

Recovery typically spans several weeks, with most patients returning to normal activities within two weeks. Initial swelling and bruising will subside, revealing progressive improvements in neck and jawline appearance over several months.

I had a deep plane facelift with Dr. Cohen in March 2025. For several years, I had grown disappointed about seeing the "tired" face staring back at me in the mirror (Zoom work didn't help that!!). Inside, my 65 year old self still felt youthful and I just wanted to have my inside match my outside. But, I had debated doing it for a long time- was I being too vain? Was I friviously spending a lot of hard earned money to do something that was just for my own benefit? Was I taking undue risk for an elective procedure? etc. I finally decided I wanted to go for it, with eyes wide open knowing I will never look 30 years younger, but hopeful I could look like my best 65 year old self. When I met with Dr. Cohen, I immediately felt a great connection and could tell that I could trust his opinion and his expertise. He took all the time I needed to discuss every aspect of the procedure, my options, my concerns, etc. In fact, the first time I met with him was a few years earlier, and he told me he felt I wasn't yet ready to fully benefit from the surgery. Clearly, he was a person of integrity to basically tell me to go away and come back a few years later. So, I waited a couple of years, saw more changes in my face over time and met with him again. We then discussed that this was a better time to consider doing the facelift. The surgery went very well, and I had been fully prepared for what to expect during the healing process. I am now 4 weeks post and couldn't be more pleased with the results. I am not one to write reviews, but I know that it can be difficult to find a good provider that you can trust, especially for something as personal and important as a medical procedure. The reviews I read about Dr. Cohen before meeting him were instrumental in helping me contact him in the first place and therefore I wanted to add my opinion to give others an opportunity to make a great choice. I can 100% say without hesitation, you would not go wrong with Dr. Cohen. He and his entire staff are first rate. Certainly, being an expert in your field (which he is) with strong ethical principles is the most important aspect, but having a great rapport with patients from start to finish as well as a great staff puts everything over the top. There is absolutely not one complaint I can even think of to mention.

Dr. Cohen is pure magic! I was hesitant to make a small, surgical change to my brows. Dr. Cohen eased my fears, answered all of my questions and provided me with the most natural looking results!

Dr. Cohen…my first plastic surgeon…the best plastic surgeon…my only plastic surgeon. My recent facial procedure by Dr. Cohen was an excellent experience. He is compassionate, personable, and professional. I am impressed with the results and could not be happier with his care. The Cohen team is outstanding and explained everything and were always available for any questions. I enthusiastically recommend Dr. Cohen.

I couldn’t be happier with my deep plane facelift performed by Dr. Justin Cohen. From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless. Dr. Cohen is incredibly skilled, and the results are natural and exactly what I hoped for. His PA, Lena, and the entire office staff were so accommodating and made the process easy and stress-free. If you’re considering a facelift, I highly recommend Dr. Cohen – I would do it all over again without hesitation!

My surgery with Dr. Cohen included a neck lift with saliva gland sculpting, a deep plain facelift, fat insertion for facial alignment, a temporal brow lift and the CO2 laser treatment. This is the process…. Doctor consultation, making the surgery appointment, asking millions of questions in between, then the surgery, and finally the recovery with a million more questions. The office staff and Dr. Cohen made the process feel like someone held my hand the whole way. Besides all the wonderful attention, my face is everything I hoped it would be. This after picture is 3 weeks out.
