Neck Lift Las Vegas

As the skin around the neck begins to sag, it can make you look older or feel less confident. These changes, often caused by aging, sun exposure, or genetics, can result in loose skin, vertical banding, and excess fat under the chin. At Vegas Plastic Surgery Institute (VPSI), our board-certified plastic surgeons offer custom neck lift procedures that tighten skin, refine contours, and restore youthful definition to the jawline and neck.

What Is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that improves visible signs of aging in the jawline and neck. It can be performed on its own or along with a facelift to provide comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

The Benefits of Neck Lift

If your concerns are limited to the neck and jawline, a neck lift can provide targeted improvement. Benefits include:

• Tightening sagging skin: A neck lift removes excess skin and tightens underlying muscle to restore firmness and support.
• Defining the jawline: Repositioning soft tissues reduces jowls and creates a clearer distinction between the face and neck.
• Reducing the appearance of a double chin: Neck lifts often include liposuction to remove submental fat, resulting in a more sculpted chin and neck.
• Restoring youthful proportions: The procedure restores balance to your lower face and neckline, creating a refreshed, natural look.

What Is the Right Age for a Neck Lift?

Most neck lift patients are in their 40s to 60s, though your physical condition is more important than your age. If you have good skin elasticity and well-defined concerns, you may benefit from surgery at any age.

Neck Lift vs. Facelift: What’s the Difference?

A neck lift focuses on the area beneath the chin and along the jawline. A facelift addresses the mid to lower face. When combined, the two procedures deliver smoother, more cohesive results across the entire lower face and neck.
