A well-deserved confidence boost

Neck Lift

A sagging neckline, prominent vertical bands, or the development of jowls can add years to your appearance, no matter how youthful and energetic you feel inside. This loss of definition along the jawline and neck is often genetic or a natural part of aging, and it stubbornly resists diet, exercise, and expensive creams. The visible disconnect between your inner vitality and your outward appearance can erode confidence, making you feel self-conscious in professional meetings, social gatherings, and even family photos.

At Peak Plastic Surgery, we close that gap. A neck lift, performed by our board-certified plastic surgeons, is the definitive procedure to restore a taut, elegant contour to your neck and jawline. We surgically tighten the underlying muscles and remove excess skin to create a naturally rejuvenated profile—never an over-pulled or artificial look. Our goal is to help you look as vibrant as you feel.

Discover the profile you remember. Schedule your personal consultation with our surgeons to begin shaping your confidence.

Redefining Your Profile: What a Neck Lift Corrects

A comprehensive neck lift isn’t about just one change; it’s a sophisticated combination of techniques designed to address the specific ways aging affects your neck and jawline. We tailor every procedure to your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals, ensuring the results are both transformative and completely natural.

Eliminating “Turkey Neck” and Vertical Bands

The vertical cords that run down the front of the neck are known as platysmal bands. These muscles become more prominent with age, creating a “turkey neck” appearance. Through a technique called a platysmaplasty, we surgically tighten and repair these underlying muscles, creating a smooth, firm foundation for the entire neck.

Removing Excess, Sagging Skin

Loose skin is a primary contributor to an aged-looking neck. A cervicoplasty is the component of a neck lift in which we skillfully remove excess skin. Our surgeons place incisions discreetly within the natural contours around your ears and hairline, allowing for a significant improvement in smoothness and tightness without visible scarring.

Sculpting the Jawline and Under the Chin

Stubborn fat deposits under the chin can create fullness and obscure the jawline, contributing to a double chin. We often combine a neck lift with targeted liposuction to precisely remove this fat. This sculpting process is key to revealing a sharp, elegant jawline and a more defined transition from your face to your neck.

Understanding Your Neck Lift Investment

A neck lift is an investment in your long-term confidence and self-image. We address cost with complete transparency, ensuring you can plan for your procedure without stress or ambiguity. Our pricing is straightforward, with no hidden fees.

The final cost of a neck lift is determined by a few key factors:

The Scope of the Procedure: The investment varies based on whether your procedure involves muscle tightening (platysmaplasty), skin removal (cervicoplasty), and/or liposuction.
Combination with Other Procedures: Many patients achieve more harmonious results by combining a neck lift with a facelift, eyelid surgery, or a brow lift. Combining procedures is often more cost-effective than staging them separately.
Anesthesia and Facility Fees: Our quotes are all-inclusive, covering surgeon’s fees, operating room costs, and anesthesia to ensure total clarity.

To make your goals a reality, we proudly offer 24-month interest-free financing. This popular option allows you to proceed with your surgery now and pay over time in manageable, interest-free installments. Our team can help you navigate the simple application process during your consultation.

Patients choose Peak Plastic Surgery for our reputation for excellence and our commitment to a superior patient experience.

We understand the unique environmental factors that affect our patients. Utah’s high altitude and intense sun exposure can accelerate the breakdown of collagen and elastin, leading to premature signs of aging in the neck and face.

Your Questions, Answered with Transparency

We believe an empowered patient is a confident patient. Here are answers to some of the most common questions we hear about neck lift surgery.

What is the best neck tightening procedure?

The “best” procedure depends entirely on your goals and anatomy. For mild skin laxity, non-surgical options may offer subtle improvement. However, for moderate to significant sagging, jowls, or prominent neck bands, a surgical neck lift is the gold standard. It is the only procedure that directly addresses the underlying muscles and removes excess skin, providing the most dramatic, definitive, and long-lasting results.

How long will a neck lift last?

A neck lift can turn back the clock, but it doesn’t stop it entirely. The results are very long-lasting, with most patients enjoying their revitalized appearance for 10 to 15 years. While the natural aging process will continue, you will always look more youthful than you would have without the procedure. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and protecting your skin from the sun will help preserve your results.

Who is not a good candidate for a neck lift?

Patient safety is our highest priority. Individuals may not be ideal candidates if they are active smokers (as nicotine severely impairs healing), have certain uncontrolled medical conditions, or have unrealistic expectations about the outcome. During your direct consultation, Dr. Griner or Dr. Guilfoyle will conduct a thorough evaluation to ensure you are a healthy and suitable candidate for surgery.

How much does a neck lift in Utah typically cost?

The cost varies based on the complexity of the surgery and if it’s combined with other procedures. We provide a firm, all-inclusive quote after your consultation. We are committed to price transparency and offer 24-month interest-free financing to make the procedure more accessible for our patients.

Will my scars be visible?

Our surgeons are experts at concealing incisions. For a neck lift, incisions are meticulously placed within the natural creases behind your ears and sometimes in the hairline or under the chin. Once healed, these scars are typically very discreet and difficult for an untrained eye to detect.

Can a neck lift be combined with other procedures?

Absolutely. For comprehensive facial rejuvenation, a neck lift is frequently performed with a facelift to address aging in the mid and lower face. It can also be paired with a brow lift to correct a heavy brow or eyelid surgery for a more rested look. Explore our brow lift gallery to see examples of combined procedures.

What does recovery from a neck lift involve?

Initial recovery typically involves about one to two weeks of downtime. During this time, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and tightness, which we help you manage with detailed care instructions. Most patients feel comfortable returning to work and light social activities within 10-14 days. We will guide you on when it is safe to resume more strenuous activities and exercise.

How does Utah's climate affect healing after a neck lift?

Utah’s dry, high-altitude climate requires special attention during recovery. We advise patients to stay well-hydrated to support tissue healing and to use moisturizers to keep the skin from becoming overly dry. Diligent sun protection is also critical; the intense UV exposure in Utah can darken healing incisions, so we recommend using a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen consistently.
