RE•LIFT® · Neck
The neck can age differently—and sometimes faster—than the face.
RE•LIFT® NeckEven patients who maintain healthy skin and a youthful facial appearance may begin noticing laxity beneath the jaw, reduced neck definition, or a less distinct angle between the chin and neck.
These changes can make the face appear older even when the upper face remains relatively youthful.
RE•LIFT® Neck rejuvenation is designed to improve the support and contour of the lower face and upper neck while maintaining natural proportions.
Understanding the neck
The appearance of the neck is influenced by skin quality, tissue support, muscle anatomy, fat distribution, jaw structure, genetics, weight changes, and aging.
As tissues lose support, the transition from jawline to neck may become less defined.
Some patients primarily experience loose skin.
Others develop deeper structural changes.
Still others have a combination of neck laxity and jowling.
Determining which anatomical components are responsible is essential before selecting treatment.
A youthful neck rarely exists independently of a youthful jawline.
The approach
Many nonsurgical technologies can improve skin quality or produce modest tightening.
These treatments may be appropriate for early changes.
However, when deeper tissues have descended, skin treatment alone may not adequately restore youthful contour.
RE•LIFT® procedures are focused on structural rejuvenation, allowing the surgeon to address changes that occur beneath the skin when appropriate.
Real results
A youthful neck rarely exists independently of a youthful jawline.
The two areas form one continuous contour.
This is why patients seeking neck rejuvenation are also evaluated for jowling and lower-face descent.
Correcting both areas when necessary can create a more coherent result than treating either one independently.
BeforeAfterActual RE•LIFT® patients. Individual results vary.
Patients commonly seek treatment after noticing loose tissue beneath the jaw, reduced definition between the jaw and neck, aging that appears more prominent in the neck than the face, or persistent lower-face laxity despite nonsurgical treatments.
Major weight loss can also reveal or accelerate changes in the lower face and neck.
The appropriate solution depends upon how much skin and tissue laxity is present and which structures are responsible.
RE•LIFT® was developed with an emphasis on obtaining meaningful facial rejuvenation while minimizing unnecessary surgical trauma.
For selected patients, procedures may be performed under local anesthesia using techniques designed to support shorter procedures and more manageable recovery compared with more extensive surgery.
Not every patient is a candidate for the same approach, and your surgeon determines the safest and most appropriate treatment.
Good to know
Surgical repositioning of facial and neck tissues can provide long-lasting improvement.
No procedure permanently stops aging.
Skin, soft tissues, bone, and connective structures continue to change over time.
The objective is therefore not to freeze the neck at a particular age, but to reset its position and contour in a way that allows future aging to begin from a more youthful starting point.
Your treatment plan
The neck is commonly evaluated alongside the jowls and cheeks.
Patients with more comprehensive facial aging may also elect to address the eyes or brows.
RE•LIFT® allows the surgeon to create an individualized treatment plan based on which areas actually require correction rather than prescribing the same procedure to every patient.
RE•LIFT® Neck FAQs
It may improve neck laxity in appropriately selected patients. The exact treatment depends on whether the primary issue involves skin, underlying tissue, fat, muscle, or several factors.
The areas are closely related and are evaluated together. Your surgeon determines whether lower-face treatment should be included.
Many RE•LIFT® procedures are designed to be performed under local anesthesia when clinically appropriate. Your surgeon determines the safest approach.
Results can be long-lasting, although the natural aging process continues.
