Prejuvenation and Rejuvenation for Any Age
It’s amazing how profound “looking older” can affect your mood or confidence. So many men and women wish they had less sagging, fewer wrinkles or folds in their neck, or a cleaner jawline. What’s great about a neck lift, however, is that one procedure can grant all of these wishes. It works by tightening the underlying muscles to lift the neck plus improving or sharpening the contour of the jawline.
The neck lift is performed by the excellent Dr. Campbell, a double board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon at Quintessa. For select patients in Wisconsin who want a way to maintain a youthful look and improve the look of their neck and jawline, this procedure is an amazing option.
Why Neck Lift Surgery
As we get older, the skin on our neck can lose its elasticity and sag. This can often make us look much older and age our faces. The patients that can benefit from a neck lift procedure are those who have sagging and/or wrinkling of the neck and a loss of separation between the neck and the chin or jaw. A neck lift can remedy this situation by tightening the underlying muscles to lift the neck plus improving or sharpening the contour of the jawline.

The Neck Lift Procedure
Before neck lift surgery, Dr. Campbell will discuss the patient’s medical history and perform a thorough examination of the neck and chin area. This allows him to create a plan for the reshaping of these problem areas. The best candidates for a neck lift are those who are in generally good health and who have a positive outlook and realistic expectations about the outcome. Sagging of the neck may be due to age but may also be a result of significant weight loss or simple heredity.
Our doctors typically perform the outpatient neck lift procedure at the outpatient surgical center in around an hour. General anesthesia will be administered for the traditional neck lift, or local anesthesia, for a very minimal lift.
Performed on its own, the neck lift involves a submental incision located under the chin. This tightens the platysma muscles directly. When performed as part of the facelift, Dr. Campbell will create a submental incision as well as the SMAS deep plane facelift incision located in front of and behind the ears and along the hairline. Our doctors prefer to make as little of an incision as needed to gain the desired effect.
Dr. Campbell will often sculpt the fat deep into the muscle, then make some releasing incisions in the muscle on each side near the voice box to better define the neckline. Liposuction may also be used on the underside of the deeper layers of the skin. Incisions are then closed and bandaged to suspend and hold the tissues in their new, higher position. If needed, drains will be placed at this time before bandaging the wounds.
Complimentary Procedures
Dr. Campbell often performs neck lift surgery in conjunction with other surgeries to enhance the patient’s results. These procedures can include a facelift to correct sagging of the mid and lower face, a brow or eyelid lift to correct “tired” looking eyes, a chin implant or liposuction under the chin to improve the contour of the jawline, or skin resurfacing procedures (i.e., laser resurfacing or chemical peels) to improve the overall look and feel of the skin. Our doctors may also recommend using BOTOX® injections or wrinkle fillers to further enhance the surrounding areas.
