Neck Lift

Neck Lift Surgery in Vancouver, BC

A neck lift is designed to improve visible signs of aging through the neck and jawline, including loose skin, neck laxity, muscle banding and loss of definition beneath the chin. At Refine Cosmetic Surgery in Vancouver, Dr. Paul Denton tailors the surgical approach to each patient's anatomy rather than using one technique for every neck.

The First Step
Procedure at a Glance
The Recovery

01. The First Step

Your neck lift journey begins with a consultation with Dr. Paul Denton in Vancouver, where he assesses skin laxity, platysmal banding, fat distribution, jawline definition and overall neck anatomy. Based on your concerns and examination, he will determine whether you are best suited for a deep plane neck lift, a more focused platysmaplasty, or a combination of techniques.

02. Procedure at a Glance

A deep plane neck lift addresses the deeper tissues of the neck to improve laxity and restore a smoother, more defined contour beneath the chin and along the jawline, while a platysmaplasty primarily tightens and repositions the platysma muscle when muscle separation or neck banding is the main concern.

Incisions are typically placed discreetly around and behind the ears, with a small incision beneath the chin when additional access to the platysma or deeper neck structures is required. Neck lift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia at one of our accredited surgical facilities, and patients are generally able to return home the same day.

03. The Recovery

After neck lift surgery, swelling, bruising, tightness and temporary numbness around the neck and jawline are common during the first one to two weeks. Most patients feel increasingly comfortable returning to normal daily activities and social settings over the following two to three weeks, depending on the extent of their procedure. Swelling continues to gradually improve over several weeks as the neck and jawline become more defined. Final neck lift results continue to refine over the following months as the tissues fully settle and heal.
