Are you frustrated by sagging skin, a double chin, banding or the so-called “turkey neck” that can make your neck look older than you feel? These common concerns are often among the first visible signs of aging or may show up earlier due to genetics or dramatic changes in weight. Thanks to advanced plastic surgery techniques, you don’t have to accept them as inevitable. At The Artis Institute for Plastic Surgery in Miami, FL, Dr. Sarraga and Dr. Baotram Tran specialize in neck lift and rejuvenation procedures that can restore a youthful, refined neckline and boost your confidence.
Why Do Turkey Neck and Double Chin Develop?
As we age, the skin on our neck loses elasticity, and the underlying platysma muscle loosens. This leads to sagging, wrinkled skin and the appearance of neck bands or “turkey neck.” Additionally, stubborn fat deposits beneath the chin and under the muscle can create a double chin appearance, even in people who are otherwise fit. Genetics, dramatic changes in weight, sun exposure, and lifestyle factors can all accelerate these changes, making the neck a common area of concern for both men and women.
What Is a Neck Lift?
A neck lift, also known as lower rhytidectomy, is a combination surgical procedure designed to address visible signs of aging in the jawline and neck. During the procedure, small incisions are typically made behind the ears and often underneath the chin. Through these incisions, we tighten your neck muscles and underlying tissue, remove the excess skin and fat (sometimes muscle and glands) and recontour the neck for a smoother, firmer appearance. The result is a natural-looking, rejuvenated neckline that complements your overall facial features. In some cases we can offer a custom S.I.M.P.L.E. neck lift where through a single submental incision remove the fat, tighten the muscles and contour your new chin and jawline. This is a great option for younger patients or those who do not have too much excess skin.

Are You a Good Candidate?
If you notice loose skin, neck bands, or a double chin that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise, or have lost a lot of weight you may be an excellent candidate for a neck lift. The best candidates are generally healthy, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes. During your consultation at The Artis Institute for Plastic Surgery, Dr. Sarraga or Dr. Tran will assess your anatomy and discuss your goals to create a customized treatment plan.
Combining Neck Lift with Other Procedures
Many patients choose to combine a neck lift with a facelift for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. This approach ensures a seamless transition between the face and neck, addressing sagging skin, jowls, and deep creases for a balanced, youthful appearance. Dr. Sarraga and Dr. Tran are highly skilled in tailoring each procedure to your unique needs, ensuring natural-looking results that never appear “overdone.”
