Rating: 4.7 (455 reviews)

While many rejuvenation treatments focus on the face, it’s important to consider how aging affects the neck as well. At Eisemann Plastic Surgery Center, our neck lifts bring balance back to your features, restoring a youthful look and smooth transitions down the jaw and chin.

What Is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift is a surgical procedure that rejuvenates the neck by addressing sagging skin, banding, and fullness beneath the chin. During surgery, Dr. Eisemann focuses on removing excess skin and fat, tightening muscles, and repositioning the remaining tissue to create firmer contours. The procedure helps tighten your skin, smoothing the fine lines and wrinkles that can make the neck appear older than you are.

Neck lifts typically consist of two procedures in one: a cervicoplasty and a platysmaplasty. In a cervicoplasty, excess, drooping skin is removed from the neck, and in a platysmaplasty, the neck muscles are tightened to remove banding. If excess fat is present, Dr. Eisemann will include small amounts of neck liposuction to contour the neck.

Are You a Good Candidate for a Neck Lift in Houston?

Ideal candidates for a neck lift in Houston are healthy, non-smoking adults who notice banding, loose skin, or excess fat in the neck and want a permanent surgical solution. Most patients who undergo a neck lift are between 40 and 60 years old, though skin elasticity is more important than age when determining your candidacy. During your consultation, Dr. Eisemann will assess your neck to confirm if you qualify for the procedure.

Pricing Your Procedure

The cost of a neck lift in Houston typically ranges between $6,500 and $9,000, but can vary depending on the following factors:

Whether neck liposuction is included in your treatment plan
Surgical complexity
Whether additional procedures will be performed in the same session
Extent of correction

After your initial consultation, a member of our team will review a complete cost breakdown and financing options with you for full transparency.

What to Expect From Your Neck Lift in Houston

During surgery, Dr. Eisemann will make strategic incisions behind the ears, within the hairline, and below the chin to access the neck tissue. He’ll carefully remove excess skin and tighten the neck muscles to smooth wrinkles and prevent further banding. If liposuction is appropriate, he’ll use a small cannula to suction out small fat deposits along the neck, then all incisions will be closed with small sutures.

Your neck lift will be performed on an outpatient basis at our state-of-the-art QUAD A-accredited surgical center in Houston. You’ll have the option of receiving either general anesthesia or our signature IV sedation with nerve block to prevent pain during surgery. After your procedure is complete, you and a trusted friend, family member, or partner will rest in a private recovery suite until you’re ready to head home.

Recovery Tailored to You

Recovery after a neck lift in Houston typically involves swelling, soreness, and tightness in the neck for up to two weeks, and you may notice some light bruising as well. Our team will provide you with specialized bandages and facial wraps to help reduce swelling and support your tissues during early recovery.

Most patients return to desk work, social gatherings, and gentle movement after one to two weeks, but you may choose to wait until all bruising has faded for your own comfort. Strenuous exercise must be limited for up to six weeks to allow your body to heal.

Your Post-Op Process

After your procedure, you’ll receive a customized recovery plan from Dr. Eisemann. This plan may include the following items:

Incision site care and cleaning protocols
Sun protection and exposure requirements
Side effects to monitor
Hygiene and skin care recommendations
Supportive garment guidance
Activity limitations
Sleep position restrictions
Swelling and pain management strategies

Over the coming weeks, you’ll return to our Houston practice several times for follow-up visits with Dr. Eisemann. There, he’ll remove any remaining sutures, check your healing progress, and clear you to resume high-impact activities, such as swimming, weight lifting, and wearing heavy jewelry.

Completing Your Transformation

Because a neck lift focuses solely on the area below the chin, many of our Houston patients combine it with facial treatments for a more comprehensive rejuvenation.

Complementary procedures include the following:

Upper and/or lower blepharoplasty
Brow lift
Rhinoplasty
Dermal fillers
Laser skin treatments

Neck Lift Frequently Asked Questions

How long will my neck lift take?

Most neck lifts in Houston take several hours. During your consultation, Dr. Eisemann will walk you through a realistic timeline so you know what to expect on surgery day.

Will I have visible scarring after my neck lift?

Dr. Eisemann strategically places incisions behind the ears, within the hairline, and below the chin to minimize the visibility of the resulting scars after recovery. If you’re concerned about scarring, our team can include scar care recommendations as part of your recovery plan.

How long will my results last?

The final results of your neck lift are designed to be long-lasting, with many patients enjoying their outcomes for 10 years or more. To extend the longevity of your results, we recommend maintaining a stable weight, sticking to a consistent skin care routine, and limiting prolonged sun exposure without proper protection.

Can non-surgical treatments replace a neck lift?

No. Non-surgical treatments like laser skin resurfacing and skin tightening can help treat mild skin laxity, but they will not yield meaningful improvements for patients with more severe laxity and sagging. Discuss your options with Dr. Eisemann during your consultation to learn more.
