A neck lift is a surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the neck. A neck lift can tighten the lower face, address skin laxity and deep lines of the neck, remove excess fat and treat muscle banding of the neck. Liposuction may accompany a neck lift to help remove excess fat from the neck. This procedure is also commonly performed in conjunction with a face lift. Often, a small drain is placed at completion of a neck lift and is removed the following day. Compression is key after a neck lift to promote healing and maintain the desired contour.
