What Is A Neck Lift?
Do you find yourself dressing strategically or holding your head at awkward angles to hide flaps of loose skin on your neck? If that sounds familiar, you may be a good candidate for neck lift surgery at San Diego Plastic Surgery Center led by Dr. Jose in San Diego, CA. Board-eligible plastic surgeon Dr. Jose Rodriguez is excited to offer neck lifts for men and women who want to reduce sagging and tighten up their neckline for a more youthful appearance. This facial surgery recontours and reshapes the area beneath your chin and the entire neck to remove a “double chin” or “turkey neck.” By removing loose skin and fat while using a tightening method to result in a softer neckline, this lower facial surgery can provide dramatic improvements to your profile.

How Does Neck Lift Surgery Work?
Neck lift surgery is performed at our office in San Diego, CA using IV sedation or general anesthesia for your comfort. To start, Dr. Rodriguez will make an incision just in front of or behind your ears with another one potentially being made under the chin. Liposuction will be performed under the chin to remove any excess fat in the area. Following that, any sagging or hanging skin will be carefully excised, and the remaining skin will be pulled tight. This tightening method is conducted until the desired contour has been achieved. Once Dr. Rodriguez is done, he’ll close the incisions with sutures under the chin to reduce any visible scarring.
