A neck lift in Birmingham, MI removes excess fat, tightens stretched neck muscles, and trims loose skin through small incisions under the chin and around the ears. Our board-certified surgeons perform the procedure in about two to three hours, alone or with liposuction or a facelift, and patients go home the same day. Explore our plastic surgery options, a thread lift alternative, or financing.
A neck lift is a form of rhytidectomy that tightens and smooths the skin of the neck. It also re-sculpts the neck and jawline. Aging can leave excess fat, sagging skin and jowls. It can also cause platysma bands, the thick bands that stick out from the neck. Even when your face looks fresh after skin care, your neck can still show age.
Our board-certified surgeons tailor each neck lift to your anatomy.

Neck lifts are a common, safe and effective procedure, and our team has helped hundreds of patients.
Surgery takes about two to three hours, and you go home the same day. Expect swelling, bruising and tightness at first. Most patients return to light activity within about two weeks. Your results keep improving as swelling fades.
You may be a good candidate if you have loose neck skin, jowls, neck bands or stubborn fat under the chin. You should be healthy, not smoke and have realistic goals. For mild laxity, ask about the Precision TX nonsurgical neck lift, Kybella for a double chin or Ultherapy.
Our board-certified surgeons perform neck lifts at both locations. See all of our plastic surgery procedures.
Hours at both locations: Monday, Wednesday and Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

How long does a neck lift last?
A neck lift gives long-lasting results. The fat that is removed does not come back, and tightened muscles stay firmer. Your skin still ages over time. Sun protection, a stable weight and good skin care help you keep your results for many years.
Does a neck lift hurt?
You are comfortable during surgery with anesthesia. Afterward, most patients feel tightness, soreness and swelling rather than sharp pain. Your surgeon explains how to manage discomfort at home. It usually eases a little more each day during the first week.
What is the downtime after a neck lift?
You go home the same day. Swelling and bruising are most noticeable in the first week. Most patients return to desk work and light activity within about two weeks. Your surgeon tells you when you can exercise and resume all normal activities.
What is the difference between a neck lift and a facelift?
A neck lift treats the neck and jawline, including loose skin, fat and neck bands. A facelift treats sagging in the mid and lower face. Many patients combine both for a balanced result. Your surgeon recommends the right plan at your consultation.
Can I get a neck lift without surgery?
Yes, for mild to moderate changes. Our med spa offers Precision TX, Kybella and Ultherapy to tighten skin or reduce fat under the chin. These options have less downtime, but results are more subtle. Significant loose skin usually needs surgery.
