The neck tells your age
Many people are shocked to see the early signs of age appearing on the neck. The delicate, fine neck skin begins to have lines, creases, and sagging skin, leaving you looking older and less attractive. When performed by our double board-certified plastic surgeon in Miami neck lift surgery can restore a youthful contour to your neck, addressing and resolving lines, fatty deposits, creases, excess skin, and vertical bands.

A Personalized Procedure
A neck lift is a custom surgical procedure, and every person has different degrees of sagging, wrinkling, or pockets of excess fat. The process may include surgical excision of sagging skin, liposuction, or added procedures such as skin resurfacing to address pigmentation issues while smoothing and firming the neck area. Many patients want to correct flaws such as a double chin, sagging jowls, or lack of definition to create a more youthful, refined neck contour.
There are three general types of neck lifts. Each is performed to achieve certain corrections. The procedures are:
This procedure extracts excess fat and is used in addition to a surgical procedure or as a single procedure for younger patients with a high level of skin elasticity. Used to address a double chin or excess fat on the neck, it can create a more attractive contour simply by removing the excess fat.
This surgical procedure trims and firms the neck structure by removing excess skin and fat and tightening the underlying muscle structure.
This procedure is performed when the neck has developed vertical bands, “turkey neck,” a double chin, and fatty jowls. This procedure is an excellent way to rejuvenate the entire zone.
Comprehensive, Enduring Neck Rejuvenation
No matter the nature of your specific concerns about your neck’s appearance, a neck lift offers a practical and long-lasting solution. At our offices in Miami and Ft. Lauderdale neck lift surgery is entirely customizable, giving you the ability to address all of your concerns without over-treating. A neck lift doesn't stop you from aging, but it can reduce the effects of age on your neck by a decade or more. People who choose to undergo a neck lift are typically concerned about the following cosmetic issues: sagging neck skin creating lines, creases, and wrinkles across the neck; Vertical bands on the neck or a double chin, along with heavy chin due to excess fat cause many people discomfort; Loss of jawline definition or jowls. Of course, sun damaged skin on the neck is a main culprit for aging.

He is the recipient of many awards and honors, including the “Doctor’s Choice Award Miami,” listed as a “RealSelf Top 500,” and has a 5-star rating on HealthGrades.com and RealSelf.com.

The results will be with you for years, so be sure you receive the best neck lift Miami has to offer.
Determining the Right Course
A neck lift, or neck contouring, is a procedure that rejuvenates the entire facial appearance. It is appropriate for people who are in good general health but are unhappy with the appearance of excess skin, fat, and tissue under the chin and on the neck. To undergo the procedure, you should be in good general health, be a non-smoker, and have a full understanding of the procedure, what to expect in results, and without a medical condition that could endanger you when under surgery.
What to Expect
The details of your neck lift procedure will depend on your personalized treatment plan. Your neck lift may be performed under general or local anesthesia with sedation.
Once your medication has taken effect, Dr. White will create incisions around the bottom crease of your ear. Depending on the extent of your procedure, your incision may extend from the bottom of your sideburn to your hairline behind your ear. In addition, if liposuction is being performed, you may also have a small incision under your chin.
Dr. White will reposition tissues and remove excess fat and skin according to your surgical plan through these incisions. This may include liposuction and tightening the muscles in the neck for an optimally sculpted appearance. Once he has performed all procedures necessary to produce the look you desire, he will close all of your incisions, apply dressings, and prepare you for your recovery.
Like other rejuvenation procedures, a neck lift can be combined with virtually any other surgical cosmetic procedure to maximize your results. Combining procedures is an excellent way to achieve the most effective and efficient treatment for your concerns. You can ultimately cut down on expenses and downtime versus those of separate procedures by addressing multiple concerns at once. Procedures commonly combined with a neck lift include:
Restore youthful skin tautness and tissue positioning throughout the face for the most comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Lift and smooth the brow and forehead for long-lasting rejuvenation in the upper portion of the face.
Address aging in your mid-face by restoring the cheeks to their more youthful position and smoothing wrinkles and folds. Depending on the details of your neck lift procedure, a mini facelift may be performed through the same incisions as your neck lift.
Remove excess skin and reposition underlying tissues in your upper and/or eyelids for a bright, energized, and youthful appearance.
Fat grafting is a versatile way to rejuvenate the midface, restore more youthful cheekbones, and blend the contours of the cheeks to the lower eyelids… all while slenderizing your midsection!
As a neck lift is a surgical procedure, you will need to plan for one to two weeks off work. After surgery, you will need a friend or member of your family to stay with you. The first stages of healing are the most difficult, but pain is mild and will be managed with prescription medication. You are encouraged to walk, but must avoid strenuous activity that will raise your blood pressure.
Bruising and swelling are common and not concerning. We use special medications and techniques during your surgery to help minimize this and help you recover quickly. Your body is working to heal, and you need to help it along by carefully following all aftercare instructions we provide. We monitor our patients during recovery and will see you at your first post-op appointment, typically one to two days after surgery.
A neck lift can dramatically improve your appearance, making you look years, or even decades younger, depending upon the extent of the sagging and drooping. Unfortunately, excess skin and fat under the chin will make you look heavier and are almost impossible to resolve without surgery -- particularly when the skin has lost its youthful elasticity.
Dr. White will spend all the time you need to answer your questions and concerns, and to evaluate your neck and skin to determine how to best enhance your appearance. You can expect to be treated with warmth, kindness, and discretion. The goal of the surgery is for you to still look like yourself, but just a younger version. We hope that your friends, family, and colleagues comment on how good you look without knowing you had surgery. Achieving a truly natural improvement requires skill, artistry, and knowledge of the latest surgical methods.
