Neck Lift

Home/Neck Lift

Neck lift surgery corrects loose skin and vertical bands on the neck as well as sagging jowls along the jawline. This procedure performed by Dr. Tran in Westminster can remove excess fat, tighten the underlying neck muscle, and eliminate excess skin to improve the contour of the neck and jawline and create a more youthful profile.

At Tran Plastic Surgery, our neck lift service is designed to restore youthful, defined contours to the neck and jawline—helping patients look as vibrant as they feel. Under the expert care of Dr. Tuan Tran, board-certified plastic surgeon, you can achieve a smoother, firmer, and more elegant neckline with results that are both natural and lasting.

Why Consider a Neck Lift?

The neck is one of the first areas to reveal signs of aging. Factors like gravity, genetics, weight changes, and sun exposure can lead to sagging skin, excess fat deposits, and vertical muscle banding. These changes often create the appearance of a “turkey neck,” jowls, or a double chin.

A neck lift addresses these concerns directly by:

  • Removing excess fat deposits under the chin and along the jawline.

  • Eliminating sagging skin for a smoother, firmer profile.

  • Restoring jawline definition to separate the face and neck beautifully.

  • Correcting vertical muscle bands for a youthful, natural finish.

If nonsurgical options have failed to give you satisfying results, a neck lift can provide the lasting improvement you’re seeking.

Are You a Candidate for Neck Lift Surgery?

You may be ready for a neck lift if you:

  • Are unhappy with sagging skin, jowls, or a “turkey neck.”

  • Notice that your jawline lacks definition.

  • Have good overall health and realistic expectations.

  • Seek a permanent solution rather than temporary nonsurgical treatments.

During your personal consultation at Tran Plastic Surgery, Dr. Tran will evaluate your goals, health, and anatomy to determine the most effective approach for your needs.

Types of Neck Lift Procedures

At Tran Plastic Surgery, we tailor every procedure to your anatomy and cosmetic goals. Depending on your concerns, Dr. Tran may recommend one of the following:

1. Full Neck Lift (Platysmaplasty)

  • Incisions are discreetly placed under the chin and behind the ears.

  • The platysma muscle is tightened, excess fat is removed, and tissues are repositioned.

  • Loose skin is trimmed for a youthful, firm contour.

Best for:

  • Patients with significant sagging skin, muscle banding, and jowls.

  • Those seeking comprehensive rejuvenation of the lower face and neck.

2. Liposuction Neck Lift

  • Small, hidden incisions allow fat removal through a thin cannula.

  • Skin elasticity naturally re-drapes after fat is removed.

Best for:

  • Patients with good skin tone.

  • Concerns mainly related to excess fat or a double chin.
