Stunning Transformations

A neck lift involves tightening the platysma muscle, removing excess skin, and repositioning or eliminating fat deposits to restore a firmer, more defined neck and jawline. This procedure addresses jowls, prominent vertical neck bands, and submental fullness (a "double chin"). While a neck lift can be performed independently, it is often combined with facial procedures like a facelift, blepharoplasty, or brow lift for more comprehensive rejuvenation.​

What to Expect


Your Neck Lift Procedure

The neck lift procedure in Houston at Basu Aesthetics typically involves:​

  • Anesthesia: Administered for your comfort during the surgery. Options include intravenous sedation and general anesthesia.​
  • Incisions: Strategically placed around the ears and possibly under the chin to minimize visible scarring.​
  • Adjustments: Tightening of neck muscles, removal of excess skin, and, if necessary, liposuction to address fat deposits.​

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, and our surgeons take care to place incisions discreetly to ensure scars are virtually unnoticeable.​

Your Neck Lift Recovery

You may experience swelling and bruising post-surgery, which typically subside within a few days. Most patients notice gradual improvements over the next six months, with final results appearing natural and rejuvenated.​

The Proof Is in the Before & After

Look Younger, Naturally

A neck lift refines and smooths the jawline and neck, reducing sagging and tightening loose skin for a refreshed, natural appearance without looking overdone.

Embrace Your Age, Defy the Signs

A neck lift restores definition by tightening sagging skin and refining the jawline, helping you look years younger while maintaining a natural appearance.

The Neck Lift That Blends In

Our approach allows for a smoother recovery with minimal bruising. Incisions are placed discreetly and heal quickly, so you look refreshed without obvious signs of surgery.

A Beautiful Transformation, Without the Pain

Many assume neck lifts are very painful, but most patients are surprised at how comfortable recovery is, with the majority needing only Tylenol.

Neck Lift Before & After

Combining Your Neck Lift with Other Procedures

A neck lift can be combined with procedures to achieve more comprehensive facial rejuvenation:​

  • Facelift: Addresses wrinkles and sagging skin in the cheek and chin areas, complementing the neck lift results.​
  • Double Chin Treatment: Reduces excess fat in the submental area, enhancing jawline definition.​

During your consultation, we will discuss your aesthetic goals and recommend a personalized surgical plan to achieve optimal results.​

Neck Lift Frequently Asked Questions

How long do neck lift results last?

Neck lift results are long-lasting, often enduring for 10 to 15 years. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and skincare routine can help prolong the outcomes.

Will there be visible scars after a neck lift?

Our surgeons place incisions strategically around the ears and under the chin to minimize visible scarring. With proper care, scars typically fade over time and become scarcely noticeable.

Is a neck lift painful?

Discomfort is usually mild and well-managed with prescribed pain medication. Most patients report significant improvement within the first few days post-surgery.

When can I return to work after a neck lift?

Most patients can return to non-strenuous work within 10 to 14 days, depending on individual healing and the nature of their job.

Are there risks associated with a neck lift?

Like any surgical procedure, a neck lift carries some risks. These may include infection, bleeding, scarring, nerve injury, or asymmetry. However, choosing a highly experienced, board-certified surgeon—like Dr. Basu or Dr. DeBusk—greatly reduces your risk and helps ensure a smooth, safe, and successful outcome. During your consultation, we'll review all risks and how we mitigate them with meticulous planning and expert care.

What is a neck lift and what does it treat?

A neck lift is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance of the neck by tightening loose skin, removing excess fat, and addressing muscle laxity. It helps create a smoother, more defined jawline and neck contour.

Who is a good candidate for a neck lift?

Good candidates are individuals experiencing sagging skin, excess fat under the chin, or visible neck banding. Candidates should be in good overall health and looking for long-lasting improvement.

How is a neck lift different from chin liposuction?

Chin liposuction removes excess fat, while a neck lift addresses both fat and structural concerns such as loose skin and muscle laxity. In many cases, a combination of treatments is recommended.

Will I need a facelift with my neck lift?

Some patients benefit from combining a neck lift with a facelift to achieve more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. This depends on your anatomy and desired results.
