Men and women in their forties may start to think about how time has changed their skin, especially on the neck, and wish for a way to bring back their youthful look. At Snyder Plastic Surgery at The Breast and Body Center, our neck lift surgery can strikingly improve a patient's neck profile. Our experienced, board-certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Ned Snyder IV can trim away redundant, sagging neck skin as he is highly trained in skin tightening techniques.
A neck lift is ideal for older patients with skin elasticity issues and younger patients who may have lost a significant amount of weight. If you are tired of living with "turkey neck" or deep wrinkles on your neck, Dr. Snyder can help you make a plan. If you have excess fat on your neck, a neck lift will not resolve this problem. You may consider having neck liposuction simultaneously with your neck lift procedure for amazing results. Call our Austin, TX plastic surgery office and request a consultation today.
Surgical Technique
A neck lift removes hanging skin and reshapes the neck. During the procedure, an incision is placed under the chin and/or behind or in front of the ears. If fat deposits are present and need to be removed, liposuction will be used during the surgery and performed first. The final steps of treatment will be to trim away excess skin, pull the remaining underlying tissue and muscle tight, and suture the incision.
Neck Lift Reviews
I met Dr. Ned Snyder as I was looking for a second opinion for a revision of breast reconstruction and a neck lift. And I am so happy I did. The interaction between physician and patient started wonderfully since the very beginning. I was able to get an appointment with him soon after my telephone call to his office, and continued smoothly throughout the whole process, prior to surgery, during surgery itself, and on all my post-surgery appointments. Dr. Ned Snyder is not onl...y a fantastic surgeon but also an artist. What he did with my body I consider it a piece of art! The results were well beyond my expectations. Dr. Snyder and all his staff are professional, warm, and courteous. In addition, the cost estimate I received from Dr. Snyder’s office after my consultation with him was about half of previous estimates with other plastic surgeons. I am forever grateful to Dr. Ned Snyder.

During/After Surgery
This procedure is performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient surgery at an accredited surgical clinic. The duration of the surgery usually takes around 2 hours, although it may vary depending on the case. Bruising and swelling will be visible after the surgery, but this will subside in the few short days following the procedure. Initially, patients will feel tightness and numbness. Once the neck adjusts to its new position, patients will notice a more relaxed feeling and a beautiful surgical result. It can take up to 6 months for the final results to appear.

About UsNeck Lift FAQs
Alternative to Lift?
Surgery is the only way to remove loose skin, especially if it is loose enough to hang and droop. Therefore, a neck lift is the only solution when it comes to redefining an individual’s neck to create a strong contour. While there are some very good skin tightening laser treatments on the market today, surgery is still the best option.
Hidden Scars?
There is minimal scarring with this procedure. Since the incision is placed under the chin and near the ears, the scarring is usually hidden. A skilled facial surgeon like Dr. Snyder will take great effort to minimize scarring as much as possible.
Ideal Age?
This depends on the situation and the amount of loose and sagging skin that is present. Some weight loss patients are young and may require a neck lift at a young age (for example, those between 20 – 30). For older patients who are combatting loose skin due to aging, the most common age is between 50 – 70.
Combination Surgery?
During the initial consultation, it may be brought up that in addition to a neck lift, the patient may also benefit from another procedure, such as a facelift or a chin implant. It is common for these additional procedures to be combined to achieve the patient’s desired contours and aesthetic goals.
