What is a Neck Lift?
A neck lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure that targets sagging skin, muscle laxity, and excess fat in the neck area. As the skin loses elasticity and the muscles weaken with age, issues like a double chin, turkey neck, and a poorly defined jawline can develop. A neck lift addresses these concerns by tightening those underlying muscles, removing excess neck skin, and restoring smoother, more youthful contours.
Dr. Mourad customizes every neck lift to match your anatomy and goals. Whether you’re looking for a more sculpted profile or want to correct visible signs of aging in the neck, he offers a range of techniques designed to create natural, long-lasting results.

Which Areas Can Be Corrected with Neck Lift Surgery?
Our neck lift surgery focuses on refining the neck and jawline by addressing the effects of aging and gravity. Dr. Mourad uses advanced techniques to correct visible concerns in the neck area while maintaining natural contours. Below are the most commonly improved areas:
Sagging Neck Skin Loose skin can gather below the chin and along the neck, often described as a “turkey neck.” Dr. Mourad removes the excess skin and tightens the remaining tissue for a firmer, smoother profile.
Neck Banding Vertical muscle bands tend to become more prominent as the platysma muscle weakens. Dr. Mourad corrects this by suturing the muscle edges together beneath the chin, creating a more youthful neckline.
Double Chin (Submental Fullness) Fat accumulation under the chin can soften the jawline and create a heavy look. Liposuction or surgical fat removal reduces fullness and sharpens the angle between the chin and neck.
Jawline Definition A soft or poorly defined jawline can result from sagging tissue or excess fat. By lifting and tightening the skin and deeper structures, Dr. Mourad restores definition along the jaw.
Skin Relaxation in the Lower Face While the neck lift focuses on the neck, it often improves the lower facial appearance as well. This includes the transition from the jawline to the neck, reducing jowls and improving facial harmony.
Each neck lift is customized to your specific anatomy and goals, creating a result that complements your natural features and helps you feel more confident in your appearance.
