Neck lift surgery is rarely performed on its own. Dr. Sessa and other plastic surgeons frequently perform a neck lift with a facelift surgery or a platysmaplasty. A combined facelift and neck lift can make a patient look over a decade younger in some cases. However, how much younger does a neck lift make you look when performed on its own?
A neck lift performed by itself can make patient look an average of five to seven years younger. This is still significant, especially for patients who have seen a large amount of aging in their neck area. Though, it is rare to see significant aging in the neck without seeing it in the lower face as well.
Neck lift surgery uses the same incisions as a facelift with the exception of a small incision under the chin if a platysmaplasty is performed. Therefore, it is extremely convenient and recommended to address all of the aged structures at once instead of spot treating the lower face and neck separately.
