Restore Definition Along Your Jawline
A neck lift is a surgical procedure that refines and rejuvenates the appearance of your neck and jawline. It addresses common concerns such as loose or sagging skin, vertical neck bands, fullness under the chin, and diminished definition along the jawline. By tightening underlying muscles, removing or repositioning excess fat, and smoothing the skin, a neck lift creates a more youthful, lifted profile. This procedure is ideal if you want noticeable improvement in the lower face and neck without altering your natural features.
Best Candidates for a Neck Lift
The ideal candidates for a neck lift in Milwaukee are healthy adults who want to improve visible signs of aging in the neck and jawline. At Quintessa, candidacy is determined through a detailed consultation, during which your surgeon evaluates your anatomy, medical history, and goals to ensure the procedure aligns with your expectations.
Once we confirm that a surgical approach is appropriate, common concerns addressed through a neck lift include:
- Sagging or loose neck skin
- Prominent vertical neck bands
- Excess fullness or fat beneath the chin
- A poorly defined jawline
- Skin laxity after weight loss
Neck Lift + Neck Liposuction
Pairing a neck lift with neck liposuction can create more sculpted, harmonious results for those who struggle with both loose skin and stubborn fat beneath the chin. While a neck lift tightens the underlying muscles and removes excess skin, a neck liposuction precisely targets and removes unwanted fat deposits. Together, these procedures define the neckline, sharpen the jawline, and create a smoother, more youthful neck contour.
Key Benefits and Expected Results
When you want meaningful, visible improvements in the look and contour of your neck and jawline, a neck lift in Milwaukee offers several benefits, including:
- Smoother, firmer neck skin
- Reduced appearance of vertical neck bands
- A more contoured, refined jawline
- Improved separation between the chin and neck
- A tighter, more youthful neck profile
- Long-lasting enhancement that still looks natural
Your Complete Neck Lift Experience
1. Consultation
During your consultation, you meet one-on-one with your surgeon to discuss your concerns, aesthetic goals, and medical history. You’ll undergo a detailed examination of your neck, chin, and jawline so your provider can assess skin laxity, muscle tone, and fat distribution. This visit is your chance to ask questions, explore surgical options, and see projected outcomes. By the end, you’ll understand what your personalized plan will include.
2. Surgery
On the day of surgery, you’ll receive either local or general anesthesia to ensure comfort while Dr. Campbell or Dr. Thayer performs your neck lift. An incision is made beneath your chin, and if needed, around the ears. Your surgeon tightens the underlying platysma muscles, removes or repositions excess fat, and smooths loose skin to refine your neckline. If liposuction is included, targeted fat is gently removed. Once complete, the incisions are closed and bandaged.
3. Recovery
After your neck lift in Milwaukee, you can expect swelling, tightness, and mild bruising around the neck and chin for several days. You must wear a supportive dressing or elastic sling to maintain your new contour, and you should keep your head elevated when sleeping. Most patients can return to non-strenuous work within 5 to 10 days, though you’ll need to avoid heavy lifting, bending, and vigorous exercise for at least 4 to 6 weeks to ensure optimal results.

Neck Lift FAQs:
How Long Do Neck Lift Results Last?
You can expect your results to last for many years, especially if you maintain a healthy lifestyle and protect your skin from sun exposure. A neck lift does not stop the natural aging process, but it significantly resets the clock. Most patients enjoy improvement for a decade or longer, and the underlying muscle tightening often provides enduring support.
Will People Be Able to Tell I Had Surgery?
Most people will notice that you look refreshed, but not necessarily “operated on.” A well-performed neck lift in Milwaukee focuses on restoring youthful contours rather than altering your identity. The incisions are strategically placed under the chin and around the ears to blend discreetly with natural creases, allowing your results to look subtle and seamless.
Is a Neck Lift Painful?
You’ll likely experience mild soreness, tightness, or discomfort during the first several days, which is usually manageable with medication recommended by your surgeon. Most patients describe the recovery as more tight than painful.
Will I Have Scars After a Neck Lift?
Every surgery requires incisions, but your scars are placed in areas that are difficult to detect, such as beneath the chin or near the ears. Over time, they gradually fade. You can minimize scarring by avoiding sun exposure and using recommended skincare products.
