Neck Lift

In Boca Raton, FL

Introduction

Introduction to Neck Lift Surgery

While the face is usually the first area patients notice signs of aging, the neck can reveal them as well, especially when loose skin, vertical muscle bands, and a “turkey wattle” are present. A surgical neck lift, performed with precision and artistry by Boca Raton double-board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jonathan Cook at Align Aesthetic Center, can restore a vibrant, rejuvenated appearance, helping patients look as youthful and energized as they feel.

What Is a Neck Lift?

Your Boca Raton neck lift is performed by the Align team using today’s most sophisticated surgical techniques, with precision, attention to detail, and expertise. The surgery restores a sculpted, youthful neck by targeting lax skin, protruding muscles, and submental fullness. While a neck lift can be performed on its own with excellent results, it is often combined with a facelift to maximize your transformation. Other add-ons with a neck lift include eyelid surgery, BOTOX, dermal fillers, and lip augmentation.

Who Are the Best Candidates for a Neck Lift?

If you are frustrated by loose, sagging skin, prominent muscle bands, and other signs of aging in the neck, you may be an excellent candidate for a surgical neck lift with the Align team in Boca Raton. The surgery is suitable for healthy, non-smoking patients who seek a lasting, transformative treatment option to help them look refreshed and vital. To ensure the procedure is safe, effective, and rewarding for you, we will conduct a detailed preliminary consultation at our state-of-the-art office in Florida.

What Are the Benefits of a Neck Lift?

A neck lift in Boca Raton provides the following key advantages:

  • Softens the appearance of prominent vertical neck bands
  • Minimizes stubborn submental fat
  • Creates a more youthful, inviting appearance
  • Rewinds the clock on aging
  • Smooths away wrinkles, lines, and folds
  • Targets crepe-like skin

What to Expect on the Day of Neck Lift Surgery

On the day of your neck lift, you will be greeted by our friendly team at Align Aesthetic Center in Boca Raton and placed in our comfortable, well-equipped surgical suite. After briefly going over your treatment plan, we will administer local anesthesia to numb your skin and ensure a seamless, stress-free experience. A small incision is created under the chin and, if required, additional incisions behind the ears. Your neck muscles are then tightened, excess fat is removed, and lax skin is smoothed to create a more youthful, balanced contour that telegraphs vitality. Finally, your incisions will be closed with fine sutures, and you will be placed in the recovery area for careful monitoring until you are cleared to return home.

Neck Lift Recovery

Your Guide to Post-Neck Lift Care

After your procedure, a pressure dressing is applied to your neck to minimize swelling and maintain your newly sculpted contours during the healing process. In addition to swelling, you may experience bruising and neck soreness. You will also be prescribed the pain medications as needed and will have your sutures removed in 5-7 days.

Most of our patients in Boca Raton can resume light activities and return to work within 5-10 days. However, it is critical to avoid bending, straining, lifting heavy objects, and exaggerated head movements for at least one month. To help aid in recovery, you are encouraged to sleep with your head elevated for the first postoperative week.

How Much Does a Neck Lift Cost in Boca Raton, FL?

The cost of a neck lift in Boca Raton varies based on the details of your customized treatment plan, your goals and preferences, and whether your surgery includes other procedures, such as a facelift, eyelid surgery, BOTOX, dermal fillers, or lip enhancement.

  • Can I give more stars than 5? This doctor certainly deserves it! I had an injury which led me to the ER. Immediately it was obvious that a plastic surgeon would need to be called in. A good friend recommended Dr. Cook and I couldn’t be happier with her suggestion. Not only is he a FANTASTIC doctor but he’s a pretty amazing person as well. His demeanor alleviated all of my stress from the traumatic event. He brought levity to the ER and immediately made me feel at ease. Months later, he is still checking in, tweaking the scar with lasers and still his kind, impressive self.

  • I couldn’t be more pleased than I am with Dr. Cook and his staff. He does amazing work! I’ve had my eyelid done by him and he’s a perfectionist. He’s incredibly thorough, asks a lot of questions and actually listens to what you’re saying. He’s honest and will tell you if you’re not a good candidate for something, which I feel is a trait missing with most Plastic Surgeons. He’s a true professional and a really nice guy. Has a good sense of humor too. I would recommend Dr. Cook above all other Plastic Surgeons. There is a lot to choose from, but I feel he’s the best. You won’t be disappointed!

  • Dr. Jonathan Cook is the best plastic surgeon and I would refer him to everyone! His exceptional surgery skills and his attentive and professional service are 5 star! I had skin cancer on my neck and chest and I am very relieved and happy with the outcome.

  • I came to Dr. Cook when the mohs surgeon who was going to remove basal cell on my nostril said a plastic surgeon would have to close the area. After having a consult with him, the surgery was set up by his assistant, Lauren. After the mohs surgery, I went directly to Dr. Cook who had to do a skin graft to close up the whole that was left. The area where the graft was taken has no scarring, and the graft took completely. He is doing laser to eliminate scarring on the nose area. I cannot speak highly enough about this team. The caring, consideration and most of all expertise and preciseness was superb, and I am so grateful to Dr. Cook for all of it.
