What is a Deep Neck Lift?

A deep neck lift is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the jawline and neck contour by addressing deeper anatomical structures. Unlike traditional neck lifts, this technique targets the platysma muscles and underlying tissues to achieve a more defined and youthful appearance. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with sagging skin, excess fat, or a heavy neck. A deep neck lift provides long-lasting and natural-looking results by repositioning and tightening these deeper tissues.

What Are the Benefits of a Deep Neck Lift?

A deep neck lift offers several key benefits for individuals seeking to rejuvenate their neck and jawline.


  • Enhanced Contour: It provides a more defined, youthful neckline by addressing sagging skin, excess fat, and muscle laxity.
  • Natural-Looking Results: By targeting deeper tissues, this procedure achieves natural and long-lasting results
  • Improved Confidence: Many patients experience a significant boost in self-esteem and confidence with a more sculpted and youthful profile.
  • Comprehensive Rejuvenation: It can effectively complement other facial procedures, providing a balanced and harmonious overall appearance.

Who Are the Best Candidates For a Deep Neck Lift?

Ideal candidates for neck contouring are generally younger patients (Ages 20-40) who have excess fat or muscle laxity under their chin or in the neck region. These issues are often related to genetics and may not be fully addressed with exercise or weight loss. During your consultation, Dr. Shastri can discuss your specific features and goals with you and help you determine if this is the best procedure for you.

What to Expect on the Day of Deep Neck Lift Surgery

On the day of your Chicago deep neck lift surgery, the process typically begins with liposuction, where excess fat under the chin and along the neck is carefully suctioned out using a thin tube called a cannula. This is done through small, discreet incisions beneath the chin and behind the ears, helping sculpt the area and create a more contoured and youthful appearance.

Once the fat is removed, the next step is the neck lift, in which Dr. Shastri tightens and repositions the underlying neck muscles through a small incision under the chin in the natural crease. This muscle tightening restores firmness and structure to the neck, counteracting the effects of aging and gravity. After the muscles are repositioned, the excess skin is redraped, smoothing out any sagging and creating a more defined neckline.

In some cases, the procedure can be combined with chin or jawline implants for patients seeking additional projection and definition. These implants are strategically placed to enhance the natural contours of the lower face and are chosen based on the patient’s individual goals. During the planning phase of the surgery, Dr. Shastri carefully discusses the decision to include implants.

While the surgery itself is minimally invasive, patients can expect some swelling and bruising during the initial recovery period. However, most individuals can resume light activities within a few days, with noticeable improvement in the neck and jawline contour after a few weeks. The final results, which include a smoother, more youthful neck and enhanced facial definition, will gradually become evident as the body heals.

Deep Neck Lift Recovery

Patients undergoing neck contouring are recommended to take one week off of work or school after the procedure. Light work or activity, such as answering emails from home, can start two to three days after the procedure, but give yourself time to rest and recover. Exercise and moderately strenuous activities can be resumed two to three weeks after the procedure.
