Elevate Your Look
As we age, the skin on our neck can begin to sag and lose its youthful firmness. This change can result in unwanted wrinkles, excess skin, and a less defined jawline. A neck lift, also known as a cervicoplasty or platysmaplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the neck area, providing a more youthful and contoured appearance.
At Alpine Surgical Arts, Drs. Haghighi and Rowan specialize in delivering exceptional results with neck lift procedures. Whether you're looking to address sagging skin or redefine your jawline, our expertise ensures that you receive personalized care and outstanding outcomes.

What is a Necklift?
A neck lift is a cosmetic surgery aimed at tightening the skin and underlying muscles of the neck to reduce the signs of aging. The procedure can address various concerns such as excess skin, muscle bands, and a double chin. By removing excess fat and tightening the skin, a neck lift can create a smoother, more youthful neck contour.
Why Consider Getting a Necklift?
Individuals often seek a neck lift to combat the following issues:
- Sagging Skin: Over time, the skin on the neck can lose elasticity, leading to a droopy appearance.
- Muscle Bands: Aging can cause the platysma muscles to become more prominent, creating vertical bands.
- Excess Fat: Accumulated fat can contribute to a double chin and a less defined jawline.
- Aging Signs: The neck area can show signs of aging earlier than other parts of the body, making a neck lift a popular option for a refreshed look.
Your Anesthesia Options
Depending on your procedure, you will receive one of the following forms of anesthesia to ensure your comfort.
How Does a Necklift Procedure Work?
The neck lift procedure typically involves several key steps beginning with a consultation with Dr. Haghighi or Dr. Rowan, where your goals and concerns are discussed. During this consultation, a detailed plan is created to achieve the best results for your individual needs.
On the day of the surgery, you will receive anesthesia to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. This may involve either local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on your specific case.
Your surgeon will make incisions, typically behind the ears and under the chin, to minimize visible scarring. Through these incisions, excess skin and fat are removed, and the underlying muscles are tightened. The remaining skin is carefully repositioned and sutured to create a smoother, more contoured neck.
Post-surgery, you will follow a tailored recovery plan. Swelling and bruising are common but generally subside within a few weeks. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a few weeks, though specific timelines may vary. A neck lift offers a significant improvement in the appearance of the neck and jawline, enhancing overall facial aesthetics and boosting self-confidence.
