Achieve a Sleek, Youthful Neck & Jawline with Surgical Precision
A neck lift is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the neck by removing jowls, tightening loose skin, smoothing the platysmal bands, and reducing fat in the region. Neck lift procedures performed by Dr. Caughlin at Many Faces of Chicago can significantly enhance your overall appearance by creating a smoother, more defined neck and jawline. Many individuals believe that the face is the initial area to reveal aging signs, but it’s actually the neck. This often-overlooked part of the body is where aging begins to manifest first. As the neck ages, it significantly impacts facial features and the overall look of the area above it.

The neck is often one of the first areas to show signs of aging. If you’re bothered by sagging skin, excess fat, or a “turkey neck,” a neck lift performed by Dr. Benjamin P. Caughlin at Many Faces of Chicago can provide a dramatic transformation.

Types of Necklifts
Necklift is the general term we use for a cosmetic procedure performed around the neck area. However, there are several specific types of necklifts – some of which you’ve probably already heard of such as a neck liposuction.
At Many Faces of Chicago, it’s important that we provide as much information as possible about a treatment or procedure before actually going through the process. For invasive surgeries, it’s even far more critical that all our patients have clear expectations and understand the process thoroughly.
Here is a good overview of the different types of necklifts to keep in mind before or during your consultation with Dr. Caughlin:
Type of Necklift | Primary Focus | Description |
Traditional Necklift | Comprehensive rejuvenation | Involves incisions around the ears and possibly under the chin. Tightens skin and muscles, and removes excess skin for a smoother contour. |
Mini Necklift | Mild to moderate sagging | Uses smaller incisions and is less invasive. Suitable for younger patients or those with less pronounced aging signs. |
Skin-Only Necklift | Excess skin | Focuses only on removing sagging skin without addressing muscles or fat. Ideal for patients with good muscle tone but excess skin. |
Submentoplasty | Muscle banding under the chin | Targets the platysma muscle through a small incision under the chin. It’s less comprehensive but effective for muscle banding. |
Cervicoplasty | Removing excess skin | Specifically aimed at trimming away the excess skin to enhance the neck’s contour. Often combined with platysmaplasty for full rejuvenation. |
Platysmaplasty | Tightening the platysma muscle | Focuses on adjusting the platysma muscle to address neck banding and improve muscle tone. |
Neck Liposuction | Fat removal | Removes excess fat from the neck area. Can be standalone or combined with other necklifts to refine the contour further. |
Combination Procedures | Comprehensive facial rejuvenation | Combines necklift with other procedures like facelift, brow lift, or eyelid surgery for overall facial improvement. |

“A neck lift is about restoring that crisp jawline and youthful neck angle.” – Dr. Caughlin
Are you Considering a Neck Lift in Chicago?
Determining whether or not it’s time for a neck lift is by consulting a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Caughlin. While there is no unique age to determine when a neck lift is necessary for rejuvenating, like many aesthetic therapies, the sooner, the better. The biological tissues within the neck have more elastin and collagen when you are younger, but if you wait until your 60s or 70s to consider a neck lift, the procedure is significantly more difficult.
The moment you look in the mirror and notice something that you are horrified by, that is the time to pick up the phone and book your preliminary consultation with Many Faces of Chicago. There is no one else than the team at our clinic that truly understands the need for aesthetic changes to boost self-confidence and improve daily life.
Early indications of an aging neck can be characterized by:
- Sagging skin below the chin (Submental Laxity): This is often the first noticeable sign, where the skin loses elasticity and begins to droop, creating a “double chin” appearance. This can be due to a decrease in collagen and elastin production, as well as the effects of gravity.
- Neck laxity (Platysmal Bands): The platysma muscle, which extends from the chest to the jawline, can weaken and separate over time. This results in vertical bands or cords that become visible, particularly when speaking or tensing the neck. The skin overlying these bands also loses its tautness, contributing to a loose, aged appearance.
- Jowls: As the skin and underlying tissues along the jawline lose their support, they begin to descend, creating jowls. This blurring of the jawline definition contributes to a less youthful and defined facial profile. This is often combined with the sagging skin underneath the chin, compounding the problem.
- Accumulation of Submental Fat: Sometimes, even without significant skin laxity, excess fat can accumulate under the chin, creating a fullness that obscures the jawline. This can be genetic or related to weight fluctuations.
- Changes in Skin Texture: Along with sagging, the skin of the neck may also become thinner and develop fine lines or wrinkles, further accentuating the signs of aging.

Meet with Dr. Caughlin
A consultation is always the first step before any surgery. It’s even more critical for any invasive surgery. During the consultation, Dr. Caughlin will also advise you on what treatment fits best for your concerns. In some cases, for example, combining a necklift with a facelift is optional.

Q&A: Neck Lift Procedures at Many Faces of Chicago
What are the main benefits of a neck lift?
“A neck lift can dramatically improve the appearance of sagging skin, excess fat, and wrinkles in the neck, resulting in a more youthful and defined profile. It’s about restoring that crisp jawline and youthful neck angle.”
How long does a neck lift last?
“The results of a neck lift can last for many years, often a decade or more, depending on your lifestyle and skin elasticity. It’s a long-lasting improvement.”
Will I have visible scars after a neck lift?
“I strategically place incisions in natural creases behind the ears and under the chin to minimize visibility. My priority is to achieve a natural look with minimal scarring.”
What is the recovery time for a neck lift?
“Recovery time varies, but most patients can return to normal activities within two to three weeks. We provide comprehensive post-operative care instructions to ensure a comfortable recovery.”
Can a neck lift be combined with other procedures?
“Yes, a neck lift is often combined with a facelift or chin augmentation for a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. We can discuss your options during your consultation.”
What causes a “turkey neck” and can a neck lift fix it?
“A ‘turkey neck’ is caused by a combination of loose skin, weakened muscles, and fat accumulation. A neck lift addresses all these issues, providing a smoother and more youthful neckline.”
Is Getting a Necklift Worth It?
A necklift is a cosmetic procedure that specifically targets areas around your neck and tightens or lifts these areas to prevent sagging, fight aging, and obliterate a “turkey neck” look.
It’s like a makeover but for your neck. Imagine pulling up a pair of saggy jeans so that it fits better. What makes a necklift different from other cosmetic treatments are the areas of skin or conditions it targets, such as:
- Muscle banding
- Fatty deposits
- Loose skin around jawline and neck
For best results, a necklift is combined with a facelift procedure to create a more youthful appearance and enhance facial contours or features lasting up to 10 years.

How Does a neck lift cosmetically Help my facial profile?
- Tightens Loose Skin: The primary function of a necklift is to remove excess, sagging skin from the neck area. During the procedure, a surgeon makes small incisions, typically behind the ears or under the chin, to access and carefully remove this excess skin, pulling the remaining skin taut for a smoother, more youthful appearance.
- Adjusts Underlying Muscles: In addition to removing skin, necklifts often involve tightening the platysma muscle—the muscle that can cause banding in the neck. Tightening this muscle helps reduce the banded appearance and supports the neck’s new contour.
- Reduces and/or Removes Excess Fat: If excess fat is contributing to the turkey neck appearance, liposuction can be performed during the necklift to remove these fat deposits. This step is crucial for defining the neck’s contour and enhancing the overall result.
- Refines the Jawline: By addressing the lax skin and underlying tissues, a necklift also helps to better define the jawline, providing a more distinct transition between the face and neck. This added definition can significantly rejuvenate one’s profile.
Who is The Best Candidate for a Necklift?
It goes without saying that anyone with sagging neck skin or neck bands and wants to counter aging, especially around the neck, would be a good candidate for a necklift. To help you decide, here are several reasons a necklift is an ideal treatment for you:
- You Stopped Seeing Results from Less Invasive Treatments: If you’ve tried other treatments like skin tightening devices or injectables and haven’t seen the improvement you want, a necklift might be the next best step. It can address deeper issues that non-surgical methods can’t fix.
- You Are Unhappy with Your Neck’s Appearance After Significant Weight Loss: Sometimes, after losing a lot of weight, people find they have excess skin on their neck that doesn’t shrink back. A necklift can be particularly effective for you in this case, providing a more proportional and aesthetically pleasing neckline.
- You Notice Saggy Skin (Turkey Neck): As we get older, our skin can start to hang a bit, just like how a sweater gets loose over time. The same can be true if you had a significant weight loss. If you notice any of these, a necklift can help remove any excess skin to allow for a tighter, smoother, and more youthful appearance.
- You Want to Remove Extra Fat on Your Neck: Sometimes, people have extra fat around their neck that makes the area look fuller than they would like. A necklift can help remove this fat, making the neck look slimmer and more defined.
- Significant Muscle Banding: Muscle banding happens when the muscles in the neck look very obvious and create lines or bands. It can make the neck look older. During a necklift, these muscles are adjusted so they’re less noticeable, which helps the neck look younger.
- You Feel Your Appearance Doesn’t Match Your Energy: Sometimes, people feel young and energetic on the inside, but they think their saggy neck makes them look older than they feel. A necklift can help your outside appearance match how vibrant and lively you feel inside, boosting confidence.
- People Looking for Long-Lasting Results: Unlike temporary solutions like creams or injections that need regular updates, a necklift offers more permanent changes. If you’re looking for a solution that doesn’t require constant upkeep, a necklift could be a great choice.
It’s also important to remember that candidates for a necklift should be in good health to minimize and reduce complications.
Can a Neck Lift Surgical Procedure Reduce the Appearance of Horizontal Neck Lines?
Yes, a necklift can reduce the appearance of horizontal lines. Rest assured, they will be less prominent after the surgery.
Is a Necklift a Painful Procedure? What About the Recovery Process?
A necklift isn’t a painful procedure but some have mentioned they felt some discomfort during the surgery. The anesthesia should significantly help dull any pain as well.
As for the recovery process, this is a case-to-case basis. Usually, pain medication is prescribed on the first day. Other times, you’ll have to stay in the hospital room for a day for monitoring.
Can I Get a Necklift If I’m Under 30 Years Old?
It’s possible to get a necklift if you’re under 30, but this also depends on what I find to be feasible and safe after the consultation. Depending on your case, I may recommend a less invasive procedure.
What is the Average Cost of a Necklift in Chicago?
Costs vary per state and necklift costs also vary wildly depending on the type of necklift surgery or if there are combined treatments.
