Restore a Sculpted, Elegant, Youthful Neckline

Prolonged exposure to the sun, the inevitable process of aging, and significant weight loss can lead to what's commonly known as "sagging neck skin and "neck banding" (vertical lines that develop on the front of the neck due to the natural aging process), wrinkles, and an aged appearance. A neck lift in Seattle is a transformative surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate this essential aspect of your face, neck, and profile.

What is a neck lift?

A neck lift, performed at Liebertz Plastic Surgery at Yarrow Bay, is more than just a procedure. It’s the art of redefining the contours of your neck, removing excess saggy skin, tightening muscles, and removing fatty deposits. The result is a youthful, defined, elegant neck that enhances your overall look in a subtle but dramatic way.

Is a neck lift right for you?

If you struggle with any of the following aesthetic issues, you are likely a good candidate for a custom neck lift in Seattle.

  • Sagging neck: A well-contoured neck can take years off your face.
  • Jowls: Sagging upper neck issues, including jowls, can be resolved in the long term.
  • Saggy under-chin angle: Say goodbye to the dreaded “turkey neck” and double chin.
  • Vertical neck bands: If your neck appearance is affected by visible vertical neck bands, these can be treated for a smoother, more youthful look.
  • Discreet results: Subtle yet impactful changes do not appear to be the result of surgical intervention.

Ensuring good overall health is paramount. Smoking, certain health conditions, and some medications might affect recovery. Have an open discussion about your medical history with Dr. Liebertz.

Our surgical approach: Anterior platysma plication

As we gracefully age, our neck muscles, especially the platysma, may begin to sag. This innovative technique refocuses on the muscle tissue in the neck’s front. The outcome? A neck that exudes youthfulness – with an entirely natural look, never excessively pulled or overdone.

Neck Lift FAQ

Can a neck lift be combined with other procedures?

Yes, a neck lift can often be combined with other cosmetic procedures such as a facelift, liposuction, or chin augmentation to achieve more comprehensive rejuvenation results. Combining procedures can also be more cost-effective and reduce overall recovery time. Your surgeon will discuss the best options for your individual needs during your consultation.

Will there be visible scars after a neck lift?

Neck lift incisions are typically made in discreet locations, such as behind the ears and sometimes under the chin, to minimize visible scarring. Over time, these scars tend to fade and become less noticeable. Proper post-operative care, including following your surgeon's recommendations for scar treatment, can help ensure the best possible outcome.

What are the potential risks and complications associated with a neck lift?

Like any surgical procedure, a neck lift comes with potential risks and complications. These may include infection, bleeding, scarring, numbness, and asymmetry. In rare cases, patients might experience skin discoloration or loss of skin. Choosing a board-certified and experienced plastic surgeon can significantly reduce these risks. Your surgeon will discuss all potential complications and how to manage them during your consultation.
