Neck Lift for Sacramento, Granite Bay, & Coeur d'Alene

The neck is one of the first areas to reveal the signs of aging. Loose skin, vertical banding, and excess fat beneath the chin can make the neck appear older or heavier than the rest of the face. For patients seeking a smoother, more defined neck contour, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rudy Coscia, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Sacramento, Granite Bay, & Coeur d’Alene offices offers neck lift, a transformative procedure designed to restore youthful definition and balance.

What Is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that refines and rejuvenates the neck and jawline by addressing sagging skin, muscle laxity, and excess fat. The procedure is often performed on its own but can also complement other facial procedures such as a facelift or liposuction for enhanced harmony.

During surgery, Dr. Coscia carefully tightens the underlying muscles, removes excess skin, and recontours fat deposits to create a more sculpted and youthful neckline. His approach focuses on precision, natural results, and minimizing visible scarring.

Benefits of Neck Lift Surgery

Patients choose neck lift surgery for a variety of aesthetic and functional reasons. Common benefits include:

• Reduction of sagging or “turkey neck” skin
• Improved jawline and chin definition
• Smoother, firmer skin on the neck
• Diminished appearance of vertical neck bands
• A balanced, more youthful facial profile

By addressing the underlying structures rather than just surface skin, results appear natural and long-lasting.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Neck Lift?

Ideal candidates for neck lift surgery are men and women in good overall health who are bothered by visible neck aging or excess skin. Candidates typically have:

• Loose, drooping skin under the chin or along the neck
• Prominent vertical bands
• Localized fat deposits resistant to diet or exercise
• Realistic expectations about the outcome

Patients with good skin elasticity and minimal laxity may benefit from nonsurgical treatments or liposuction alone, but a full neck lift offers the most comprehensive and enduring rejuvenation.

Neck Lift Procedure and Recovery

Neck lift surgery is performed under anesthesia in a fully accredited surgical facility. Incisions are usually made discreetly around the ears and sometimes beneath the chin. Dr. Coscia then tightens the platysma muscles, removes or repositions fat, and trims away excess skin for a smooth, refined contour.

Most patients return to normal activities within two weeks. Mild swelling and tightness are common initially but fade as healing progresses. Results continue to improve over several weeks, revealing a firmer, younger-looking neck.
