If you’re a man who’s noticed loose skin, extra fat, or deep lines around your neck and jawline, you’re not alone. The neck is often one of the first places where aging shows for many men.
Men's Neck Lift: Top Insights
A male neck lift is designed to tighten loose skin, remove chin fat, and give you a defined jawline and neck.
Genetics, weight changes, and the natural aging process all play a role in neck aging.
Many of our male patients say they have regained confidence and they love the way their neck is more defined after a neck lift.
Why Men Choose a Neck Lift
Many men and women want to address a “turkey neck” or double chin, as it starts to affect their confidence at work, in social situations, or just looking in the mirror. Genetics, weight changes, and the natural aging process all play a role in aging the neck, and a neck lift is a great surgical option.
Neck lifts aren't just for female patients though! A male neck lift is designed to tighten loose skin and remove excess fat under the chin. The surgical approach Dr. Randy Sanovich takes for male patients gives a more defined, masculine jawline, rather than contouring in the same way he would for a female patient who prefers softer features.
What to Expect Before Surgery
Before any procedure, we always start with a thorough consultation. We’ll talk about your goals, your medical history, and any concerns you have. Dr. Sanovich will examine your neck and jawline, take 3D imaging, discuss what’s possible, and show you before and after photos of other male patients. Every neck is different, so the approach is always tweaked to best support your unique goals and anatomy.
The Neck Lift Procedure
A neck lift is performed under sedation in our surgical suites. Incisions are typically hidden behind the ears and sometimes under the chin, so scars are minimal and well concealed. Dr. Sanovich will tighten the underlying muscles, remove or sculpt fat as needed, and trim and laser away extra skin.
Recovery: What It’s Really Like
Most men are surprised by how manageable recovery is. You can expect some swelling and bruising for the first week or two, but discomfort is usually mild and controlled with medication. Most of our patients get back to light activities within fourteen days. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions and are always available for questions during your recovery.
Male Neck Lift Cost
Wondering what a male neck lift costs? Well, it depends on your specific case, because some patients may have loose, sagging skin and could benefit from a neck lift, while others may want more jawline and chin structure and that might require a genioplasty or chin implant, or some other combination procedure to achieve these results. Consult with our office so we can get you a custom treatment plan!
Male Neck Lift Results Before and After
The change can be dramatic. Before surgery, many men have loose, sagging skin, a poorly defined jawline, or extra fat under the chin. After a neck lift, the jawline is sharper, the neck looks smoother and younger, and the overall appearance is more masculine and confident. The results last for years, especially if you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Check out our photo gallery to see more transformations!
Is a Neck Lift Right for You?
The best candidates for a neck lift are healthy, non-smoking men. During your consultation, we’ll talk about all your options, including non-surgical treatments like MyEllevate if you’re not ready for surgery.
A male neck lift is a great option to help men regain confidence and give their neck a natural, youthful look. As a board-certified cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Sanovich focuses on safety and of course, natural-looking results.
