Are you wondering about all the potential costs associated with neck lift surgery? Like most cosmetic procedures, neck lifts are typically not covered by insurance. Read on to find out what factors are included in the price for a neck lift procedure and what you can expect the surgery to cost.
What is a Neck Lift?
A neck lift is a surgical cosmetic procedure that can help improve the appearance of your neck and jawline. The surgery involves making incisions in the skin, usually on the hairline, behind the ear, or underneath the chin. Then Dr. Holley will lift, tighten, and reposition your skin and underlying tissues and muscles. During the procedure, Dr. Holley may also remove excess loose skin.
This surgery can help to reduce wrinkles and sagging skin and create a more youthful-looking neck. It can also improve the appearance of a “double chin.” Additionally, neck lifts address and eliminate jowls to give you a more defined chin and jawline.
Sometimes, Dr. Holley recommends combining a neck lift procedure with a facelift, eyelid lift, or brow lift surgery, depending on the patient’s needs and aesthetic goals. Pairing a neck lift with another facial rejuvenation surgery often helps patients achieve more comprehensive results.
What is the Cost of a Neck Lift?
It is difficult to pinpoint the exact amount you will spend on your neck lift surgery, as many factors contribute to the price. The average cost of neck lift surgery is $5,774, based on 2020 statistics. However, the final price depends on many factors, including your geographic location, the type of neck lift procedure, and complementary surgical procedures. Other factors you should consider:
- Plastic surgeon’s fees
- Medical exams
- Anesthesia costs
- Surgical room costs
- Post-op garments
- Prescribed medications
How Long Do Neck Lift Results Last?
Unfortunately, neck lift results are not permanent, as the effects of aging will ultimately cause the skin on your neck to lose its elasticity and sag again. However, neck lift surgery can produce long-lasting results to keep your neck looking significantly younger. Neck lift results can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years.
The duration of the results varies from patient to patient. Fortunately, you can maintain and extend your results by avoiding smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, and protecting your skin from the sun.
