What is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift is a procedure that addresses fullness, sagging skin, and/or muscle banding of the neck under the chin. In isolation, this is not a very common procedure but it is often combined with a facelift. There are a variety of techniques used to address the neck.

Dr. Brace performs custom neck rejuvenation surgeries, restoring youthful definition at the jawline, chin, and neck. As a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Brace is known for his elegant, natural-looking results.

Types of Neck Lifts

Dr. Brace offers a variety of neck lifts depending on the factors at play. These include:

  • Deep Plane neck lift
  • Profound treatments
  • Grecian Urn direct neck lifts
  • Platysmaplasty
  • Submentoplasty
  • Chin implant

Neck rejuvenation treatments – surgical and non-surgical

Dr. Brace performs custom neck enhancement treatments, surgical and non-surgical. These treatments are usually done in conjunction with a facelift for best results. The types of neck procedures he offers include:

Neck lift (platysmaplasty)

A neck lift is a surgical procedure designed to tighten loose neck skin, remove excess fat, and reposition underlying muscles. Dr. Matthew D. Brace's expert technique allows for a natural and well-defined neckline, reducing the appearance of jowls and creating a smoother, more youthful neck contour.

Submentoplasty

For younger patients with a heavier neck or a neck lacking a sharp definition, this procedure is performed through a small incision under the chin to remove excess fat, muscle and gland. The neck is lifted and sculpted to create the desired definition and contour.

Deep plane neck lift

A deep plane necklift is an advanced surgical technique that addresses neck aging at a deeper structural level rather than focusing on skin tightening alone. This approach involves repositioning the underlying muscle and connective tissue layers that contribute to loss of definition, banding, and descent in the neck and jawline.

Grecian urn direct neck lifts

This innovative technique involves making discreet incisions under the chin to address muscle banding and sagging skin directly. The Grecian Urn lift provides natural and long-lasting results and is best suited for men with a ‘Turkey neck’ who desire a less involved procedure and recovery than traditional neck lift surgery.

Chin implant

For individuals with a weak or receding chin, a chin implant can enhance the overall neck and facial balance, providing improved definition and harmony.

Profound treatments

Profound is a cutting-edge non-surgical procedure that utilizes radiofrequency microneedling to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin on the neck for a more lifted and youthful appearance.

Complementary and Related Procedures

A neck lift is often considered alongside other facial procedures to achieve balanced rejuvenation.

  • Facelift: Addresses midface and lower face aging to complement neck contour improvements.
  • Chin augmentation: Enhances chin projection to improve overall jawline harmony.
  • Fat grafting: Restores volume and softness to areas affected by age-related fat loss.
  • Eyelid surgery: Refreshes the eyes for a more cohesive facial rejuvenation.
  • CO2 laser skin rejuvenation: Improves skin texture and tone to support surgical results.

Compassionate care with sophisticated, natural-looking outcomes

At Guelph Facial Plastics, Dr. Brace approaches each patient with a personalized and compassionate touch. He understands that each individual has unique facial features and goals, and he takes the time to listen attentively to their concerns.
