The neck is one of the first parts of the body to display prominent signs of aging because it’s exposed to direct sunlight and environmental pollutants. A neck lift in Dallas addresses these concerns to help you regain your confidence and refresh your appearance. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Chiodo brings a personalized approach to this rejuvenating procedure.

What Is A Neck Lift?
A neck lift is a surgical procedure that helps you achieve a firm, contoured, and chiseled neck. During a neck lift, the surgeon makes strategic incisions around the chin, through which they trim away excess skin tissues, remove excess fat deposits, and tighten the underlying muscles. The goal is to remove sagging skin tissues under the chin (turkey neck), reduce neck banding and wrinkles, and make your jawline look sculpted and chiseled. Your neck lift in Dallas must be personalized according to your anatomy.
What Does a Neck Lift Treat?
- Remove sagging skin tissues under the chin (turkey neck)
- Reduce excess fat deposits under the chin (double chin)
- Reduce wrinkles and banding on the neck
- Restore a smooth, contoured, and youthful appearance to the neck
Can a Neck Lift Be Combined with Other Procedures?
A neck lift in Dallas can be combined with other face and neck procedures to address several issues at once. The loss of neck collagen and elastin as you age causes sagging skin, and the accumulation of fat under the chin may lead to a double chin. Some patients may combine a facelift with their neck lift procedure for a more comprehensive rejuvenation treatment. A neck lift is also often combined with neck liposuction to eliminate a double chin.
After making an incision under the chin, the surgeon inserts a specialized hollow cannula to suction away the excess fat deposits from the submental region. Liposuction removes excess fat deposits, making your chin look slim and contoured. After liposuction, your neck lift surgeon, Dr. Michael Chiodo, trims away excess skin tissues to prevent neck sagging or a turkey neck. Schedule a consultation to determine if combining multiple procedures is right for you.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Neck Lift?
Good candidates for a neck lift in Dallas are those who:
- Have excess skin tissues and fat deposits under the chin
- Want to achieve a firm, sculpted, and contoured neck profile
- Have sufficient skin elasticity
- Are in good physical and mental health
- Have realistic expectations from the procedure
- Are nonsmokers or willing to stop smoking before and after the procedure
- Can take around two weeks off work and other responsibilities to recover
Dr. Chiodo’s Personalized Neck Lift Technique
Dr. Chiodo performs a personalized neck lift surgery after a thorough evaluation. During your consultation, he carefully examines your neck anatomy, discusses your goals, measures the degree of skin laxity, and reviews your health history. Based on your needs and goals, he determines if you need neck liposuction with a neck lift and curates a personalized surgical plan. The neck lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia in our cutting-edge operating room.
During a neck lift, Dr. Chiodo makes a small incision under the chin or around the earlobes, depending on the treatment plan. If you have a double chin, the surgeon inserts a specialized hollow cannula through the incision and suctions away excess fat cells. After removing excess fat cells, he trims away excess skin tissues and tightens the underlying muscles, following which your skin is re-draped and sutured. The entire procedure concludes within 3 hours.
Recovery After Neck Lift
After your neck lift in Dallas, you can expect some swelling, bruising, tenderness, and numbness on your neck for a week, following which the side effects will dissipate. The sutures will be removed after 5 to 7 days, but you may have to wear compression garments a little longer. You can resume most of your daily activities and work after 1 to 2 weeks, but strenuous physical activities should be avoided for around 6 weeks. Please follow Dr. Chiodo’s aftercare guidelines accurately to ensure the best recovery after your neck lift procedure.

Neck Lift FAQs
At what age should I consider a neck lift?
Most patients seek a neck lift in Dallas in their 40s to 60s when sagging skin and muscle banding become more prominent. However, age is less critical than anatomical concerns; anyone with significant tissue laxity or a poorly defined jawline may be an ideal candidate.
Does a neck lift leave visible scars?
Dr. Chiodo strategically conceals incisions around the ear structure and, when necessary, in the natural crease under the chin. Over time, these fine lines fade significantly and become exceptionally discreet, making them virtually imperceptible during normal daily interactions.
Are there non-surgical alternatives to a neck lift?
Yes. For those looking to achieve a more contoured, chiseled neck and jawline without surgery, BodyTite offers a minimally invasive solution using radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) to tighten and sculpt the lower face and neck with minimal downtime, though surgical results are more dramatic.
How much does a neck lift in Dallas cost?
The investment for a neck lift varies depending on your anatomy, surgical technique, and whether it is paired with other procedures. For an accurate, all-inclusive price quote tailored to your aesthetic goals, we recommend scheduling a personalized consultation with Dr. Chiodo.
