Restore Definition Where Aging Is Most Noticeable

The neck and jawline are often among the first areas to show visible aging. Loose skin, banding, and fullness beneath the chin can create a tired or heavy appearance that doesn’t reflect how you feel. At Berman Plastic Surgery & Spa, a neck lift in Boca Raton is designed to restore clean contours and a naturally rejuvenated profile with refined, lasting results.

Neck Lift Overview

About Neck Rejuvenation Surgery

A neck lift, also known as a lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that tightens underlying muscles, removes excess skin, and refines the contour of the neck and jawline. It can be performed on its own or combined with a facelift for more comprehensive rejuvenation. A neck lift can help address:

  • Loose or sagging skin in the neck
  • Jowls along the jawline
  • Prominent vertical neck bands
  • Excess fat beneath the chin (double chin)
  • Poor jawline definition
  • Wrinkles and creases in the neck area

Is a Neck Lift Right for You?

A neck lift is often chosen by patients who are bothered by sagging skin, fullness beneath the chin, or loss of definition along the jawline. Many individuals find that even with good skincare or weight management, the neck area does not respond as easily as other parts of the body.

Candidates for a neck lift in Boca Raton are generally in good health and prepared for a surgical procedure with some recovery time. Some patients benefit from combining a neck lift with a facelift for more complete facial rejuvenation, while others may only need targeted neck contouring. A consultation helps determine the most appropriate approach.

Overview of the Neck Lift Procedure

Personalized Evaluation and Surgical Planning

Your procedure begins with a detailed assessment of your neck anatomy, skin quality, and aesthetic goals.

Strategic Incision Placement

Incisions are typically made behind the ears and within the hairline to keep scars discreet and well hidden.

Tightening of Muscles and Tissue

Underlying neck muscles are tightened, and excess fat may be removed or sculpted to improve contour.

Skin Redraping and Closure

Excess skin is carefully trimmed and repositioned for a smooth, natural result before the incisions are closed.

What to Expect After Surgery

After a neck lift in Boca Raton, patients can expect about one to two weeks of initial recovery. Mild to moderate swelling, bruising, and tightness are common during the early healing phase.

Bandages or a compression garment may be used to support healing, and in some cases, a small drain is placed temporarily. Most patients return to normal daily activities within a couple of weeks, though strenuous activity should be avoided until cleared by Dr. Berman.
