How a Neck Lift Sculpts and Rejuvenates Your Profile

A neck lift does more than tighten skin—it restores definition, refines contours, and enhances facial balance for a naturally sculpted look. In the age of Zoom, Facetime and other videoconferencing platforms, people are noticing more than ever that they have excess fat or skin on their necks and are seeking effective treatments with minimal downtime, so they can get back to focusing on the things that matter—not how their neck looks on camera. Whether due to aging, weight fluctuations, or genetics, this procedure helps create a sleek, well-defined neckline that complements your features.

At Lawrence Park Plastic Surgery, Dr. Plant and his team customize each neck rejuvenation procedure with advanced techniques, including:

  • Liposuction for Fat Reduction – Removes excess fat under the chin for a sharper, more contoured jawline.
  • Corset Platysmaplasty (Muscle Tightening) – Improves neck firmness and eliminates the visible muscle bands by tightening and repositioning underlying muscles to form a sling under the jaw, highlighting the contours of the neck and jawline.
  • Skin Tightening & Redraping – Removes loose skin (including the dreaded turkey neck deformity) for a smooth, refined, youthful profile.
  • Hidden, Minimal-Scar Techniques – Ensures discreet incisions placed under the chin or behind the ears.

With precise surgical techniques and a focus on natural-looking results, Dr. Plant ensures that your neckline appears youthful, contoured, and in perfect harmony with your facial features—helping you look refreshed, not overdone.

What is a neck lift?

A neck lift, or platysmaplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that tightens loose skin, removes excess fat, and smooths muscle banding in the neck. It is designed to restore a firmer, more youthful neckline by addressing sagging skin, excess fat, and loss of jawline definition caused by aging or weight fluctuations.

Dr. Plant customizes each neck lift procedure to enhance the natural contours of the jawline and neck, creating a more sculpted, youthful appearance without looking overdone.

Can I combine a neck lift with other procedures?

Yes, a neck lift can be combined with other facial procedures for a more comprehensive rejuvenation. Many patients choose to pair a neck lift with a facelift, chin augmentation, or eyelid surgery to enhance overall facial harmony and balance.

Dr. Plant customizes each surgical plan based on individual goals, ensuring safe, natural-looking results. During your consultation, he will assess your needs and recommend the best approach to achieve your desired outcome.

How much does a neck lift cost in Toronto?

The cost of neck lift surgery varies based on the extent of correction, surgical complexity, and individual patient goals. During your consultation, Dr. Plant will provide a detailed estimate after assessing your neck structure, skin condition, and desired outcome.

While cost is a consideration, choosing an experienced and skilled surgeon ensures the quality, safety, and longevity of your results.

Will my neck look unnatural after surgery?

A common concern among patients is whether a neck lift will leave them looking too tight or artificial. Dr. Plant takes a conservative, customized approach, focusing on lifting and repositioning tissues naturally rather than over-tightening the skin.

As swelling subsides, the neck and jawline settle into a smooth, youthful shape, enhancing definition without looking overdone. Most patients find that their results look refreshed and natural, not drastically different.

Are there risks associated with a neck lift?

A neck lift is a safe and effective procedure when performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Plant. However, as with any surgery, potential risks include temporary swelling, minor asymmetry, numbness, or slight tightness in the neck.

Dr. Plant prioritizes patient safety and precision, using the most advanced surgical techniques to minimize risks and ensure optimal healing. During your consultation, he will discuss any potential concerns and how they are managed, ensuring you feel fully informed and confident in your decision.

Are the results of a neck lift permanent?

Yes, a neck lift provides long-lasting improvements, but natural aging continues over time. Most patients enjoy a more youthful, defined neckline for 10 to 15 years. Maintaining a stable weight, healthy skincare routine, and good sun protection helps preserve results for many years.

Dr. Plant uses advanced techniques to ensure results remain natural and enduring, allowing patients to enjoy a more sculpted neckline for years to come.

How long is the recovery period after a neck lift?

Most patients return to light activities within one to two weeks, with full recovery taking about four to six weeks. Swelling and mild discomfort are common in the early stages but gradually subside. Patients should avoid strenuous activity, heavy lifting, and excessive neck movement during the initial healing period.

At Lawrence Park Plastic Surgery, Dr. Plant and his team provide comprehensive aftercare support to ensure a smooth, comfortable recovery. This includes personalized guidance, detailed recovery protocols, and follow-up care to promote optimal healing and long-lasting results. From the moment your procedure is complete, you’ll have access to expert advice and hands-on support, so you can heal with confidence.

How soon will I see results from a neck lift?

Results are noticeable immediately after surgery, but swelling and bruising may temporarily affect the final outcome. Over the next four to six weeks, swelling subsides, and the contours of the jawline and neck become more defined.

Dr. Plant provides detailed aftercare instructions to support the healing process and help patients achieve optimal long-term results.

Am I a good candidate for a neck lift?

You may be a good candidate for a neck lift if you have loose, sagging skin, excess fat, or visible muscle banding in the neck that make you appear older or less defined. This procedure is commonly chosen by patients experiencing sagging skin or a “turkey neck” appearance, loss of jawline definition due to excess skin or fat, pronounced muscle banding or wrinkles in the neck, or a double chin that persists despite a healthy weight.

Ideal candidates are in good overall health, do not smoke, and have realistic expectations about their results. During your consultation, Dr. Plant will assess your skin elasticity, muscle tone, and facial proportions to develop a customized surgical plan that aligns with your goals.

Do you offer neck lifts for men?
