Have you noticed a change in the appearance of your neck?
Perhaps it lost its youthful definition or lines and wrinkles have become more prominent. These signs of aging are perfectly natural, but they can also impact your overall confidence and self-esteem.
At Virginia Advanced Surgical Arts, we understand the desire to maintain a youthful appearance. A neck lift is a powerful tool to restore a younger look and enhance your overall facial harmony.
We offer both surgical and non-surgical options to address your specific needs and goals.
Unveiling The Neck Lift: A Detailed Look
A neck lift (cervicoplasty) is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the appearance of the neck. It targets the visible signs of aging in this area, including:
Excess Skin
Sagging
Wrinkles and Bands
There are several neck lift techniques, each tailored to address specific concerns. During your consultation, our experienced cosmetic surgeon will discuss the most suitable approach for you.
A limited incision neck lift is a minimally invasive technique with an under-chin incision. This surgery focuses on tightening the muscles in the lower neck and removing excess skin. It’s ideal for patients with mild to moderate sagging and minimal jowls.
The standard neck lift procedure involves an under-chin incision and incisions made behind the earlobe. Our surgeon tightens the underlying muscles and removes excess skin and fat to create a more defined neck and jawline. This procedure is ideal for patients with moderate to severe sagging.
For patients concerned about sagging in both the face and neck, we combine a neck lift and facelift. Combining these procedures addresses both areas simultaneously. This offers a more comprehensive rejuvenation and provides a well-balanced facial harmony.
A successful neck lift can dramatically improve the appearance of your neck. You can expect a smoother, tighter neck with reduced sagging and wrinkles, and a sharper jawline definition.
This cosmetic procedure can give you a more youthful and rejuvenated facial appearance and increased confidence and self-esteem.
Why Choose A Neck Lift?
As we age, the neck is one of the first areas to show signs of aging. Wrinkles, sagging skin, and prominent neck bands can significantly impact your overall appearance.
Some people are predisposed to developing signs of aging in the neck at a younger age due to hereditary factors. A neck lift can address these concerns and create a more youthful look.
Significant weight loss can leave behind excess skin in the neck area. A neck lift can remove this excess skin and create a more sculpted appearance.
Neck lift surgery offers long-lasting results that can be enjoyed for many years with proper care. The results of a neck lift can help you feel more confident and positive about your appearance for a decade or even longer.
A neck lift is a personal decision. Feeling good about your appearance can significantly impact your confidence. A neck lift can address concerns that might be affecting your self-esteem, leading to a more confident and positive outlook.
Consulting with a board-certified cosmetic surgeon can help you determine if it’s the right option for you and explore all your available choices.

Non-Surgical Neck Lift Alternatives
While surgical neck lifts offer dramatic results, they aren’t the only option for achieving a more youthful neck appearance.
For patients wanting a less invasive approach, we offer a variety of non-surgical neck lift alternatives. These treatments can address mild to moderate concerns about wrinkles, sagging, and lack of definition.
Exploring Non-Surgical Options
Here’s a closer look at some popular non-surgical neck lift alternatives.
Offering a minimally invasive approach, Botox injections are a popular option for addressing visible neck bands. Botulinum toxin works by relaxing targeted muscles, softening their appearance, resulting in a smoother neck contour. It’s a quick procedure with minimal downtime with results typically last 3-6 months.
Dermal fillers provide another non-surgical option for achieving a smoother, tighter neck appearance. These injectable substances work by adding volume and definition to targeted areas. In the context of the neck, dermal fillers can plump up wrinkles and sagging skin, creating a more youthful and lifted look. Dermal fillers typically last between 6-18 months depending on the type used and recovery time is minimal.
Laser skin resurfacing offers a non-surgical approach to improve the appearance of your neck. These treatments utilize focused beams of light to stimulate collagen production and remove damaged outer layers of skin. This can result in multiple benefits, including improved skin texture, reduced wrinkles, and a tighter neck appearance. One of the advantages of laser treatments is the ability to customize the intensity to your specific needs.
Finally, radiofrequency treatment with Venus Versa provides an excellent non-surgical option for neck skin tightening. By using radiofrequency heat, this device stimulates collagen production and tightens the connections between the skin and muscle, thus tightening the skin with minimal downtime.
You need to consult with a professional to determine the option and understand the expected recovery process. Non-surgical treatment address concerns about the neck area with convenient and more affordable options. But it’s important to understand their limitations.
