If you’ve been struggling with sagging skin, jowls, or neck banding, a neck lift can dramatically transform your profile—restoring a firm, youthful jawline and smoother neckline. But one of the most common questions we hear at Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery in Atlanta is: How long will my neck lift results last?
Thanks to the advanced surgical techniques of Dr. Benjamin C. Stong, our patients enjoy natural-looking results that can last 10–15 years or more, especially when combined with proper care and lifestyle choices.
What a Neck Lift Can Do
A neck lift—formally known as a lower rhytidectomy—targets the lower face and neck, addressing:
- Sagging skin under the chin
- Muscle banding (platysmal bands)
- Jowls along the jawline
- Deep creases and loose tissue
In a city like Atlanta, where professional image and self-confidence matter, many patients choose neck lift surgery to reverse the effects of aging without the “pulled” look. At Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery, we deliver refined results tailored to both men and women, ensuring your outcome looks youthful, not overdone.
How Long Do Results Last?
On average, neck lift results last 10 to 15 years, but longevity depends on a few key factors:
- Your skin quality and genetics
- Your age at the time of surgery
- Post-surgery care and skincare routines
- Sun exposure, smoking, and lifestyle habits
Unlike quick-fix treatments, a neck lift offers foundational rejuvenation—tightening both muscle and skin for long-lasting definition. Most patients enjoy an immediate improvement and continue to look refreshed for well over a decade.
Ways to Extend Your Neck Lift Results
Maintaining your results is all about consistency. Dr. Stong recommends:
- Medical-grade skincare with collagen-supporting ingredients
- Routine use of broad-spectrum SPF
- Non-surgical maintenance like radiofrequency skin tightening or Botox® is relax neck muscles
- Healthy lifestyle choices, including staying hydrated and not smoking
Patients in Buckhead, Midtown, and surrounding Atlanta communities often pair their surgical results with our in-house med spa protocols to keep their skin vibrant and firm for years.
