Las Vegas Neck Lift

A youthful face can be overshadowed by loose skin, vertical bands, or a soft jawline beneath the chin. At Cara Plastic Surgery, Dr. David Kahng offers advanced neck lift surgery to restore a firmer, smoother neckline and define the contours of the lower face—without altering your natural appearance.

What Is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift, also called lower rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic procedure designed to correct signs of aging in the neck and along the jawline. By tightening underlying muscles, removing excess fat, and smoothing the skin, this surgery redefines your profile and rejuvenates the entire lower face.

At our Las Vegas clinic, Dr. Kahng uses modern, minimally invasive techniques to deliver results that are both elegant and discreet. Whether performed on its own or alongside a facelift, chin liposuction, or cheek enhancement, a neck lift offers dramatic facial improvement.

What Can a Neck Lift Treat?

Each neck lift is customized to your facial anatomy and goals. Dr. Kahng may recommend this procedure to address:

Loose or hanging neck skin ("turkey neck")
Fullness or fat beneath the chin
Vertical bands along the neck from aging muscles
Poor jawline definition
A double chin, even with a healthy BMI

By correcting these issues, a neck lift can enhance facial harmony and reduce the need for heavier makeup or clothing to conceal the area.

Why Consider a Neck Lift in Las Vegas?

Even with great skin care, the neck is often one of the first areas to show age. A neck lift may be right for you if you’re noticing:

A sagging or crepey neck appearance
Muscle banding below the chin
A rounded jawline that lacks youthful structure
Excess skin following significant weight loss

Dr. Kahng’s technique involves hidden incisions behind the ears and beneath the chin, allowing for minimal visible scarring and a clean, sculpted outcome.

Deep Neck Lift in Las Vegas

For younger patients with a full or poorly defined neck, the deep neck lift offers an advanced solution beyond traditional lifting. This procedure is ideal for patients under 40 who may not yet need skin removal but want a more sculpted, contoured neckline. This internal approach targets deeper layers—including muscle, fat, and glands—to refine the neck from the inside out.

Benefits of a Deep Neck Lift

Reduces fullness and double chin appearance
Refines and defines the jawline
Enhances fit of clothing around the neck
Minimal downtime, no large incisions
Often performed through a single small incision under the chin

How the Procedure Works

Your neck lift or deep neck lift is performed in our AAAASF-accredited Las Vegas surgical center under general anesthesia or IV sedation. The procedure typically includes:

A small incision under the chin (and sometimes behind the ears)
Removal of excess fat through liposuction or direct excision
Tightening or restructuring of neck muscles (platysmaplasty)
Skin redraping for a smooth, youthful contour
Precise closure with minimal scarring

If additional enhancement is desired, Dr. Kahng may combine your neck lift with a facelift or cheek contouring for optimal facial balance.

Recovery After Neck Lift Surgery

Healing is straightforward for most Las Vegas patients. Typical recovery includes:

7 to 14 days of downtime
Swelling, tightness, or mild bruising in the first week
A compression garment worn during initial healing
Avoiding strenuous activity for about 3 to 4 weeks
Final results becoming more visible over 2 to 3 months

Dr. Kahng provides a detailed aftercare plan tailored to your recovery timeline, ensuring you’re supported at every stage.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Neck Lift?

You may be a strong candidate for a neck lift or deep neck lift in Las Vegas if you:

Are in good overall health and a non-smoker
Have realistic goals and a desire for natural rejuvenation
Feel your neck makes you look older than your actual age
Are bothered by sagging, banding, or fullness beneath the chin

During your consultation, Dr. Kahng will examine your anatomy and recommend the most effective surgical plan.
