What is a Neck Lift?
A neck lift (lower rhytidectomy) surgically removes excess skin and fat from the neck and jaw, tightens the underlying platysma muscle, and repositions tissue for a cleaner, more defined neck contour. It is one of the most effective treatments for significant neck laxity, "turkey neck," and platysmal banding.
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia or IV sedation. Incisions are placed behind the ears and under the chin, designed to be hidden in natural creases. Most patients return to normal activity in 2 to 3 weeks. Full results are visible at 3 to 6 months as swelling resolves.
A neck lift is often combined with a facelift for comprehensive lower face and neck rejuvenation. It is not the right treatment for neck fat without skin laxity — Kybella or liposuction is more appropriate for fat alone.
How much does a Neck Lift cost in San Diego?
A neck lift in San Diego typically starts at $6,000, with most procedures ranging from $6,000 to $18,000 total including surgeon fees, anesthesia, and facility costs.

What to ask your provider
- Are you board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS)?
- Is a standalone neck lift appropriate for me, or do you recommend combining with a facelift?
- Am I a candidate based on skin laxity, fat distribution, and platysmal banding?
- Where are incisions placed, and what will scars look like long-term?
- What is the full all-in cost — surgeon, anesthesia, and facility?
- Can I see before-and-after photos of your own neck lift patients at 6+ months post-op?
Frequently asked questions
How much does a neck lift cost in San Diego?
A neck lift in San Diego typically starts at $6,000 and ranges up to $18,000 all-in. The total includes surgeon fee, anesthesia, and facility costs. Combining a neck lift with a facelift increases total cost.
Who is a good candidate for a neck lift?
The best candidates have excess skin laxity, platysmal banding, or significant submental fat that non-surgical treatments cannot adequately address. Patients with neck fat alone (without skin laxity) may be better served by Kybella or liposuction.
How long does a neck lift last?
Results typically last 5 to 10 years. The aging process continues, but most patients enjoy a significantly rejuvenated neck contour for many years. Maintaining a stable weight and protecting from sun damage prolongs results.
What is recovery from a neck lift like?
Most patients return to light activity in 2 to 3 weeks. Expect bruising, swelling, and tightness for the first 2 to 4 weeks. Heavy lifting and strenuous activity should be avoided for 4 to 6 weeks. Full results are visible at 3 to 6 months.
Can a neck lift be combined with other procedures?
Yes. A neck lift is frequently combined with a facelift for comprehensive rejuvenation, or with liposuction for additional fat reduction. Discuss your full goals with your surgeon during consultation to determine the most effective approach.
