Necklift • Brentwood, TN
performed by a FELLOWSHIP-TRAINED FACIAL PLASTIC & RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGEON
Necklift
Advanced visible signs of aging on the neck may manifest as sagging skin or pockets of excess fat draping the jawline, chin, and neck. To remedy the decline of the aging neckline, neck lift surgery (also known as platysmaplasty or lower rhytidectomy) is performed to refine and restore a firmer, slimmer, and more youthful profile by removing superfluous skin and fat from the neck.
Other cosmetic surgeries may often be administered in conjunction with a necklift procedure, such as a facelift or blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), to properly maintain overall facial harmony and achieve natural-looking yet dramatic results. A neck lift may be recommended to address more severe age-related changes in the skin that cannot be corrected by injectable treatments or non-surgical cosmetic procedures.

Frequently asked Questions
necklift Faqs
What does a necklift address?
A necklift targets excess skin, fat, and muscle laxity in the neck and jawline area. It can address turkey neck, loose or sagging skin, prominent neck bands (platysma bands), and submental fullness (double chin).
Can I combine a necklift with a facelift?
Yes — a necklift and facelift are frequently combined for comprehensive lower facial and neck rejuvenation. Most patients seeking surgery for age-related concerns will require both.
Is liposuction part of a necklift?
Depending on your anatomy, submental liposuction may be incorporated into your necklift to remove excess fat beneath the chin and refine the jawline. Dr. Guthrie will outline the best approach during your consultation.
How long is necklift recovery?
Most patients experience swelling and tightness for 1–2 weeks. Strenuous activity should be avoided for 3–4 weeks. A compression garment is worn for the first 2 weeks to support healing and reduce swelling.
How long do necklift results last?
A necklift provides long-lasting improvement — typically 10 years or more. Results depend on skin quality, age at the time of surgery, and lifestyle factors such as sun protection and weight stability.
