A neck lift, also known as a lower rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic procedure that can help to improve the appearance of the neck and jawline. This procedure addresses issues such as excess skin, wrinkles, and fat in the neck and jawline, which can make a person look older or heavier than they feel.

The procedure typically involves making small incisions under the chin and behind the ears. Through these incisions, the surgeon will remove excess skin and fat, and reposition the underlying tissues to create a more youthful and defined appearance. The surgeon may also use liposuction to remove excess fat and contour the neck.

The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and can take between 2 to 4 hours. Recovery time varies depending on the individual, but patients can expect to experience some swelling and discomfort during the first week or two.
