Neck Lift in Troy, MI | John M. Trupiano MD FACS

Understanding the Neck Lift Procedure

The neck can begin to show signs of aging similar to the face. A neck lift, performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon, is one of the most effective methods to address aging signs like sagging skin and undefined jawlines.

What is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift is a surgical procedure designed to lift and define the neck and jawline by removing excess skin and fat. As individuals age, gravity impacts the area underneath the chin, potentially causing a "turkey neck" and diminishing the youthful contours of the chin and jaw.

Are You a Neck Lift Candidate?

Ideal neck lift candidates may experience:

• Sagging skin under the chin
• Double chin appearance
• Visible jowls
• Prominent neck bands

The Neck Lift Procedure

Typically performed under general anesthesia, the neck lift involves precise surgical techniques. Dr. Trupiano creates strategic incisions near the hairline or under the chin, allowing for tissue tightening and muscle refinement. Excess skin is carefully trimmed, resulting in a more defined neck and jawline.

Recovery and Results

Patients generally require 1-2 weeks of recovery, experiencing some initial swelling and discomfort. Most individuals feel comfortable returning to public activities within 2-3 weeks. The result is a tighter, more youthful neck contour that can be maintained with proper skincare and healthy lifestyle habits.

Complementary Procedures

The neck lift can be effectively combined with other facial procedures like facelifts or chin liposuction. During a consultation, Dr. Trupiano will recommend the most appropriate approach tailored to your aesthetic goals.
