How Long Can I Expect Neck Lift Results to Last?

Choosing a neck lift can be a major confidence boost if you've been dealing with sagging neck skin, neck wrinkles, or a stubborn double chin. At SSK Plastic Surgery in Newport Beach, CA, Dr. Sean Kelishadi helps patients achieve smoother, firmer necklines with long-lasting results. If you're exploring this option, you may be wondering how long neck lift results typically last and whether the procedure is worth it. 

Let's take a closer look at how a neck lift works, what affects results over time, and how you can maintain a more youthful look for years to come. 

How does a neck lift work to improve loose skin? 

A neck lift is a cosmetic procedure designed to address common signs of aging along the neck and jawline. As the skin loses elasticity, fat may accumulate and muscles can weaken, leading to what many refer to as a "turkey neck" or double chin. Using advanced techniques, Dr. Kelishadi removes excess skin, tightens the underlying muscles, and repositions tissue to create a firmer, more defined appearance. 

Patients often choose a neck lift in Newport Beach to:  

• Improve the appearance of neck wrinkles and sagging skin 
• Restore contour under the chin and along the jawline 
• Reduce loose skin on the neck or jowls 

Is a neck lift permanent, or will I need another one? 

While no cosmetic treatment can stop the natural aging process, a neck lift delivers results that can last significantly longer than noninvasive options. Many patients enjoy a firmer, more youthful profile for years after their procedure. The longevity of results depends on your skin quality, lifestyle habits, genetics, and how well you care for your skin post-surgery. 

Although a neck lift is not an indefinite fix, it offers a powerful reset that can help you look younger and more refreshed. Maintaining a consistent weight, staying hydrated, protecting your skin from the sun, and following a quality skincare routine can support long-term results. 

Are neck lift scars and recovery something to worry about? 

It's common to have questions about scarring and recovery after neck lift surgery. Dr. Kelishadi uses refined surgical methods that are designed to minimize visible scarring and support a smoother healing process. Most people gradually return to their daily routines as their bodies recover at their own pace. 

Each recovery plan at SSK Plastic Surgery is tailored to individual needs and closely monitored to promote the best possible outcome. Thanks to modern techniques, patients often experience less tissue trauma and a more comfortable recovery overall.
