What Is A Neck Lift Surgery?
The goal of neck lift surgery is to restore a more youthful appearance of the neck through tightening underlying structures and addressing loose skin and fatty tissue. Patients enjoy a more defined jaw line with a smoother, firmer look.
The Aesthetica Difference
As a board certified plastic surgeon with over 20 years of experience, Dr. Crofts has performed hundreds of neck lifts. Neck lift surgery takes a very skilled and experienced surgeon to restore a youthful appearance all while preserving nerves and minimizing incisions. Dr. Crofts’ artistic eye and experience with neck lift procedures will give you the confidence in knowing he can assist you in reaching your surgical goals in the safest way possible.
Journey to Confidence
At your consultation, you will be able to discuss questions and voice what you would like changed. Dr. Crofts will discuss the details of the procedure and create a surgical plan with you. Our office staff will provide you with a surgery quote and can help schedule your procedure.
You will have a pre-operative appointment three weeks prior to surgery. At this appointment, you will sign consents, discuss any last minute questions and concerns, and get further pre- and post-surgery instructions.
Your surgery will take place at an accredited facility. This is generally a 2 hour procedure and you will be released home on the same day.
Generally, you will be seen 1 to 3 days after surgery and again 4 to 5 days later. Further post operative appointments will continue and be dependent upon your recovery.
Recovery for neck lift procedure is 2 weeks of no lifting or exercising. Patients typically feel well enough to go back to work around 7 days. A neck band is worn day and night for 2 weeks and then just at night for an additional 6 weeks. At Aesthetica, post operative care and safety is our number one priority. We see patients frequently after their procedure to assure healing and recovery is on track. Patients also have 24 hour access to a nurse on call for emergencies.
Feel the results, see the difference, and enjoy the confidence

Dr. Kimball Crofts is probably the best doctor I have ever been to. He makes you feel like you are his most important patient and will do anything you need (even if it’s Sunday). His staff is also so kind and there are no better nurses than Amy and Andrea!!

Dr Crofts was one of the first doctors I’ve had that actually showed he really cared about what happened that led me to need his help. His precision was excellent and I’m incredibly grateful on so many levels for how I’m feeling now after getting my implants removed. I’m so happy with the results and feel like me again. Thank you so much Dr Crofts! His nurses were lovely and always kind and on top of it. Highly recommend.
My daughter was Dr Croft’s patient and I was her post-surgery support. He and his staff were amazing to work with. Very thorough, responsive and personable. Andrea couldn’t be a better support and advisor—she made the whole experience so positive!
Dr Crofts and his staff are all so kind and amazing!

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a neck lift also address the lower face?

How do I prepare for a neck lift?
Patients will need to discontinue the use of NSAIDS, fish oil, and any other blood thinners 2 weeks prior to surgery.
How long do the results last?
Results are permanent, but patients will continue to age. Most patients find that neck lift results last up to 10 years.
What is recovery like?
No lifting over 5 lbs and no strenuous activity for 2 weeks. Patients will have a facial compression wrap they will need to wear day and night for 2 weeks and at night for an additional 6 weeks.
Can a neck lift be combined with other procedures?
Some patients like to combine the neck lift with a Renuvion procedure to get additional soft tissue tightening. Renuvion uses helium plasma and radiofrequency for tissue contraction.
