Rejuvenate your neck and improve contours
A neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that rejuvenates the neck by addressing signs of aging and improving overall contour. At Vinings Surgery & Hair Restoration Center, this procedure targets issues such as loose, sagging skin, excess fat deposits, and prominent muscle bands that contribute to a “turkey neck” appearance. By tightening underlying muscles and removing excess skin, a neck lift can create a smoother, firmer, and more youthful neck profile. The results are both natural-looking and long-lasting.

Your neck lift experience
Consultation
Your neck lift journey begins with a personalized consultation with Dr. Colgrove. During this meeting, Dr. Colgrove will assess your concerns, discuss your goals, and recommend a tailored treatment plan. He’ll explain the procedure in detail, answer your questions, and ensure you have a clear understanding of what to expect.
Surgery
On the day of your surgery, Dr. Colgrove will skillfully perform your neck lift at our AAAASF-accredited outpatient surgery center. The procedure typically involves tightening underlying muscles, removing excess skin, and sculpting the neck for a more youthful contour. The surgery is performed under anesthesia to ensure your comfort.
Recovery
After surgery, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which are normal side effects. Dr. Colgrove will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to aid your recovery. Most patients can return to normal activities within 10 to 14 days, but strenuous workouts should be avoided for four to six weeks. The swelling subsides over several weeks.
Results
You will start to notice improvements in your neck’s appearance as the swelling decreases. The full results of your neck lift will become more apparent over the next few months as your neck heals completely, revealing a smoother, firmer, and more youthful profile. These results are long-lasting, allowing you to enjoy your rejuvenated look for years to come.
Neck lift FAQs
Will there be visible scars after a neck lift?
Dr. Colgrove takes great care to place incisions in discreet locations, such as behind the ears and under the chin. While there may be some initial scarring, it typically fades over time and becomes less noticeable.
How long do neck lift results last?
The results of a neck lift are long-lasting, often enduring for 10 to 15 years. However, the natural aging process will continue, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help prolong the benefits.
