A neck lift for men is a tailored procedure that specifically addresses the male anatomy and best practices for men. Incisions are usually made on or under the neck, which is a better position for men based on their anatomy and hair pattern. Dr. Janiga will discuss this and other options at your consultation.
A stronger jawline is a key characteristic of a masculine profile. Sagging skin or excess fat on the neck and below the chin, sometimes called a “turkey neck,” can impact jawline definition and the entire neck appearance. Men can achieve a more masculine jawline and youthful appearance with natural-looking results that complement the surrounding features for a procedure that emphasizes male facial rejuvenation. Often, a neck lift is performed together with a facelift, brow lift, eyelid lift, or chin augmentation for full facial rejuvenation.
Before receiving a neck lift, male patients will schedule a consultation with Dr. Janiga so he can assess their medical history, examine the neck and jawline areas, and discuss their treatment goals to build a personalized treatment plan. The best candidates are men in overall good health who are non-smokers or committed to not smoking for up to six weeks before and after surgery. Those with good skin quality who are committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle after surgery can achieve optimal results. Dr. Janiga will determine whether a neck lift is right for you and will provide detailed instructions for surgical preparation and recovery.
Dr. Timothy Janiga is a board-certified plastic surgeon with over two decades of experience and countless patient success stories. His calm, expert, and meticulous approach has transformed the lives of both cosmetic and reconstruction patients, helping them feel good in their bodies. Dr. Janiga is an expert in all aspects of plastic surgery and specializes in cosmetic facial surgery, body contouring, and breast surgery.
A neck lift for men can be performed in one of two ways: under local anesthesia in the office at JanigaMDs, or under general anesthesia at Dr. Janiga’s JCAHO accredited out patient surgical center. The treatment usually begins with an incision placed under the chin, where the incision can be easily concealed. Once an incision is made, Dr. Janiga will remove excess fat and skin to create a younger, more masculine jawline. The underlying tissues will be tightened and repositioned into a more youthful contour, and the excess skin will be carefully trimmed away. Finally, the incisions are closed, and you can return home.

After neck lift surgery, patients can expect moderate swelling, bruising, and discomfort that depend on the extent of the neck lift. The skin sensation may be altered after surgery for the first week, and then it should slowly return to normal. Prescription pain medication will be provided to ease discomfort for the first few days, and Dr. Janiga also recommends that patients rest, stay hydrated, and eat a healthy diet to promote swift healing.
Most patients will be able to hold meetings and do desk and phone work within just a few days. Depending on your profession and need for personal discretion, you may need to allow 7 to 14 days before returning to in-person work with clients. After this initial healing process, most of the swelling and bruising will have improved, and patients will start to see a more defined jawline and tighter neck skin.
Typical neck lift results include a more defined and masculine neck and jaw line, improved muscle tone and neck contour, and firmer, smoother skin. Dr. Janiga will give you a realistic idea of your personal outcome during your private consultation. Full results are expected within three months and can last ten years or more, while taking years off the appearance of your face. Scars will be barely noticeable with careful placement under the chin and in the natural creases of the neck.
