Reclaim a youthful, defined neckline with a customized neck lift performed by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Montante at Montante Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics. Whether you are concerned about sagging skin, excess fat, or visible banding, a neck lift can restore smooth contours and help you look as young as you feel.
Why Choose a Neck Lift?
The neck is one of the first areas to show visible signs of aging. Genetics, weight changes, and natural collagen loss often lead to:
- Loose, sagging skin
- Double chin or excess fat deposits
- Muscle banding and vertical lines
- Loss of jawline definition
Dr. Montante will spend time with you during your initial consultation to hear your concerns and goals, as well as answer your questions. He will examine your neck and recommend a surgical plan for you. He will also review your medical history.
Benefits of a Neck Lift
Patients who undergo a neck lift in Richmond with Dr. Montante often notice:
- A slimmer, more youthful profile
- Improved jawline and chin definition
- Natural, long-lasting results
- A refreshed look without appearing “overdone”
Many patients choose to combine a neck lift with a facelift, brow lift, or eyelid surgery for even more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Are You a Candidate?
You may be a good candidate for a neck lift if you are:
- In good overall health
- Bothered by loose skin, fat, or banding around the neck
- At a stable weight
- Realistic about your surgical results
If you’re unsure whether a neck lift or a non-surgical alternative is right for you, Dr. Montante will provide personalized recommendations during your consultation
What to Expect During Neck Lift Surgery
Neck lift procedures are performed under anesthesia in our accredited Richmond surgical facility. The incision is typically placed discreetly behind the ears and/or under the chin. Dr. Montante will:
- Tighten neck muscles for better support
- Remove excess skin and fat
- Redrape remaining skin for a natural, youthful contour
The procedure typically takes 2–3 hours, depending on whether it is combined with other facial procedures.
Neck Lift Recovery Timeline
Recovery varies by patient, but most individuals can expect:
- First week: Swelling and bruising, managed with medication and compression.
- 7–10 days: Return to work and light activity.
- 2–4 weeks: Most swelling subsides; results become more visible.
- 3 months+: Final results with a smoother, tighter neckline.
Dr. Montante and our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a safe and smooth recovery.
Neck Lift Results & Longevity
Results from a neck lift can last 10–15 years, depending on age, genetics, and lifestyle factors. Maintaining a healthy weight, good skincare, and sun protection will help prolong your results.
