Neck Lift FAQs

Are neck lifts painful?

Most patients will experience some discomfort following their neck lift procedures as swelling, bruising, and tenderness around the treated areas is common. Dr. Martin and his medical team will be happy to provide you with detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure that your neck lift recovery is quick and comfortable.

Can I get a neck lift without a facelift?

Yes, you absolutely can get a neck lift without a facelift. While a neck lift and facelift often complement each other well, patients who would only benefit from a neck lift are encouraged to only undergo the neck lift procedure. To find out if this is a good option for you, we encourage you to come in for a private consultation with Dr. Martin.

At what age should you get a neck lift?

While there is no perfect age to get a neck lift, Dr. Martin typically sees patients between the ages of 35 and 65 come in for the procedure. That being said, he’s happy to provide a neck lift to patients in their twenties who have undergone a significant weight loss or patients in their seventies who wish to refresh their look. The best way to find out if a neck lift is right for you is to come in for a consultation with Dr. Martin.

Can Botox® help with a saggy neck?

Yes, Botox® can help with a saggy neck to an extent. However, Botox® is a temporary solution that can only provide results for patients with mild banding around the neck. For patients who have a larger amount of sagging skin or those who wish for a long-term solution, we recommend considering a neck lift.
