Changes in the neck are often among the earliest and most noticeable signs of aging. Loose skin, excess fat beneath the chin, prominent neck bands, and loss of definition along the jawline can contribute to an older appearance even when the face remains relatively youthful. Neck lift surgery is designed to improve neck contours, tighten underlying tissues, and create a smoother, more defined profile.
Patients throughout Atlanta and Sandy Springs choose Dr. Brian Maloney for neck rejuvenation procedures because of his specialized expertise in facial plastic surgery. Dr. Maloney is dual board-certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology and completed advanced fellowship training dedicated exclusively to cosmetic and reconstructive procedures of the face and neck. His individualized approach helps patients achieve natural-looking improvements that complement their overall facial appearance.

Neck Lifts provide excellent results for both men and women. A Mid-line Neck Lift can help soften a turkey neck in men. An oval of skin is excised, and the underlying fat and muscle are contoured. After the incisions are closed, a compression bandage is placed over the surgical area. You will wear the bandage for at least one week. Patients may experience bruising and swelling after their Neck Lift procedure, and symptoms should last only a few days. Tightness, tingling, pulling, numbness, and burning are also common symptoms that should resolve within a few weeks of surgery. Most patients return to normal activities after 10 to 14 days, although more strenuous activities should be avoided for at least three weeks.
The Benefits of a Neck Lift
A neck lift can significantly improve the appearance of the neck and jawline by addressing loose skin, excess fat, and visible signs of aging. Many patients choose neck lift surgery because the neck is often difficult to improve through exercise or non-surgical treatments alone.
Potential benefits of a neck lift include:
- Improved jawline definition
- Reduction of excess neck skin and fullness
- Smoother neck contours
- Correction of a “turkey neck” appearance
- A more youthful and refreshed profile
- Increased confidence in personal and professional settings
Results are tailored to each patient’s anatomy and goals, creating natural-looking improvements that complement the rest of the face.
