Achieve a rejuvenated, youthful neckline with a neck lift at Bellevue Plastic Surgeons. Led by Dr. George Marosan, this procedure addresses sagging skin, excess fat, muscle banding, and a “turkey wattle” appearance. By tightening and lifting the neck, Dr. Marosan restores definition and smoothness, helping you look as youthful as you feel.
Overview
A neck lift is a cosmetic procedure that enhances the appearance of your neck by removing excess skin, tightening underlying muscles, and reducing fat deposits. This surgery is ideal if you’re looking to address concerns like sagging skin, deep wrinkles, or a “turkey wattle” that can add years to your appearance. At Bellevue Plastic Surgeons, Dr. Marosan meticulously tailors each neck lift to your unique anatomy, ensuring natural-looking, rejuvenated results. You’ll regain a smoother, firmer neck that will restore your youthful contours.
+ Neck Liposuction
Enhance your neck lift results with a neck liposuction. If you have excess fat under the chin or along the jawline, Dr. Marosan can use VASER Hi-Def Lipo and/or Renuvion to suction away excess fat deposits and tighten the remaining tissue, helping you achieve a sculpted and refined neckline. These advanced techniques allow for precise fat removal and skin tightening, creating a more defined, youthful appearance. By incorporating liposuction, you achieve a smoother, contoured neck, further enhancing the results of your neck lift.

Visualize Your Results
Visualize your neck lift results before surgery with the Vectra 3D system at Bellevue Plastic Surgeons. During your consultation, Dr. Marosan will use this advanced imaging technology to create a detailed 3D model of your neck and face.
You’ll be able to “try on” different surgical outcomes, allowing you to see how your neck will look after the procedure. This interactive experience helps you make informed decisions about your surgery, ensuring that your expectations align perfectly with the results you can achieve.
During Surgery
During your neck lift, Dr. Marosan will make small, discreet incisions, typically behind your ears and possibly under your chin. Through these incisions, he carefully tightens underlying muscles, removes excess fat, and repositions the skin to create a smoother, more youthful neckline. If needed, liposuction can also be performed to reduce excess fat deposits further and help you achieve a chiseled jawline. The procedure is performed under anesthesia, and Dr. Marosan’s precise technique minimizes scarring and promotes natural-looking results.
After Surgery
After your neck lift surgery, you may experience some swelling, bruising, and tightness in the treated area. These side effects are normal and should subside within a few weeks. Dr. Marosan will provide detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. Most patients can return to work and light activities within 1-2 weeks, but strenuous workouts should be avoided for 4-6 weeks. The final results of your neck lift will gradually become visible as the swelling diminishes, typically within a few months.
Frequently Asked
Questions
How Long Does a Neck Lift Last?
A neck lift can provide long-lasting results for 10-15 years. However, the natural aging process will continue, so future touch-ups may be desired to maintain optimal results.
What if I Need Additional Procedures?
Many patients choose to combine a neck lift with other procedures, such as a facelift or eyelid surgery, for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Dr. Marosan will discuss all your options during your consultation to help you achieve your desired results.
How Soon Will I See the Results?
Initial improvements are visible once the swelling starts to subside, usually within a few weeks. However, the final results will be apparent within a few months as your neck fully heals, revealing a smoother, more youthful contour.
How Natural Are the Results?
Dr. Marosan’s expertise ensures that your neck lift results look natural, not overdone. The goal is to rejuvenate your appearance while preserving your unique facial features and expressions, giving you a refreshed, youthful look.
What About Scarring?
Dr. Marosan carefully places incisions in discreet locations, such as behind the ears and under the chin, where scars are minimal and well-concealed. Over time, these scars will fade and become nearly invisible.
When Can I Return to Normal Activities?
Most patients can resume light activities and return to work within 1-2 weeks after surgery. Strenuous activities, such as heavy lifting or intense exercise, should be avoided for 4-6 weeks to ensure proper healing.
