Many people feel their neck ages faster than their face. Loose skin, vertical bands, or a heavy jawline can make you look older or tired, even if the face still looks youthful. It is normal to wonder whether surgery is too much or if non-surgical treatments can still help.

A neck lift restores a cleaner, firmer contour without changing your natural appearance. At Chrysalis, the focus is calm improvement that fits your face and feels like you.

What a Neck Lift Really Does

A neck lift tightens loose muscles, removes extra fat, and smoothens sagging skin. It improves:

  • Droopy skin under the chin

  • “Turkey neck”

  • Early or advanced jowls

  • Weak or split neck muscles

  • A heavy, full lower face

  • Blurring of the jawline

It does not change your facial features. It also does not fix skin texture alone; additional treatments may be needed.

Who Does Neck Lift Surgery Help

You may be a good candidate if:

  • The neck looks older than the face

  • You have loose skin or hanging tissue
    .
  • You see vertical bands in the neck.

  • The jawline has lost definition.

  • Non-surgical treatments are not enough.

  • You want long-lasting, natural improvement.

How Dr. Salil Approaches Neck Lift Surgery in Pune & PCMC at Chrysalis

Every neck ages differently. Some people have excess fat. Others have loose skin or separated muscles. Many have a mix.

Dr. Salil studies:

  • Skin elasticity

  • Fat distribution

  • Muscle condition

  • Jawline angle

  • How does your face and neck balance each other

The treatment plan is personalised so the result feels natural, not over-tightened.

Methods of Doing Neck Lift Surgery

(Based on patient anatomy, goals, and level of neck ageing)

A neck lift is not a single technique. It is a set of procedures that can be used alone or in combination, depending on what your neck needs.

1. Cervicoplasty (Skin Tightening)

This method removes loose, excess skin and tightens the surface layers.
 Helpful for:

  • Hanging or crepey neck skin

     

  • Visible loose tissue that does not respond to non-surgical treatments

     

It smoothens the neck’s outer appearance and is often combined with deeper tightening.

2. Platysmaplasty (Muscle Tightening)

The platysma muscle can weaken or separate with age, causing vertical neck bands.
 Platysmaplasty brings these muscles back together and tightens them.

Helps with:

  • Vertical neck bands

  • Weak or sagging muscle layer

  • Poor neck contour

  • A softer jawline

This gives long-lasting structural support.

3. Neck Liposuction

Used when excess fat is the primary concern, especially in younger patients with good skin elasticity.

Helps with:

  • Double chin

  • Heavy or full neck

  • Soft jawline due to fat deposits

Liposuction removes fat but does not tighten loose skin or treat muscle banding.

4. Limited-Incision Neck Lift

Smaller incisions are placed around the ear or under the chin.
 Useful for early-to-moderate sagging.

Helps with:

  • Mild muscle laxity

  • Early skin looseness

Subtle contour changes

Recovery is quicker, but improvement is less dramatic than a full lift.

5. Combined Neck Lift + Lower Facelift

Most people age in both the lower face and neck at the same time.
 A combined approach gives a more natural transition and avoids mismatched results.

Helps when:

  • Jowls and neck sag together

  • The jawline has softened.

  • Lower cheeks pull downward over time.

This creates a balanced, youthful contour.

Recovery: What to Expect After Neck Lift Surgery in Pune & PCMC at Chrysalis

  • Swelling and tightness for 1–2 weeks
  • Mild bruising for 7–10 days
  • Light activities in a few days
  • Social comfort in 10–14 days
  • Final contour develops over a few months.

Clear aftercare instructions guide you through rest, incision care, and safe neck movement.

Risks and Safety of Neck Lift Surgery

Risks are uncommon but essential to understand.

  • Temporary numbness

  • Early asymmetry

  • Swelling or bruising

  • Rare infection or bleeding

  • Scars that take time to fade

A careful evaluation helps reduce these risks.

How Long Do the Results Last

A well-done neck lift can last 8–12 years.
 Your neck will still age, but from a more refreshed starting point.

Non-surgical Neck Rejuvenation

Some patients do not need surgery. Non-surgical options help with early sagging and mild texture issues.

HIFU

Tightens deeper tissues and improves early jawline sag.

Morpheus / RF Microneedling

Improves neck firmness, fine lines, and texture.

Thread Lift

Provides a modest, short-term lift against early ageing.

Fillers

Enhance jawline shape when volume loss contributes to loose skin.

Botox for Neck Bands

Softens visible vertical bands from muscle overactivity.

These work well for mild ageing but cannot fix significant loose skin or deep sagging.
