Neck Lift Procedure
How does a neck lift procedure work?

Through the procedure, we can tighten the loose skin and remove excess fat tissue to give you a smoother, firmer, and more youthful appearance. A neck lift procedure can often be done in conjunction with a facelift. A neck lift performed by Dr. Golger or Dr. Romy at Avenue Plastic Surgery will help treat:
- Excess fat and loose skin on the neck
- Heavy jowls
- Double chin

What’s the First Step?
The first step is to get in touch so we can find out if this is the best procedure for you. By giving us a phone call or filling out a contact form, our compassionate team of experts will schedule a consultation for you to meet one-on-one with Dr. Golger or Dr. Romy. During your appointment, you’ll be able to express your areas of concern and ask questions. The surgeons will provide a thorough assessment of your face and neck area and provide their recommendations.
If both you and the surgeons agree that our Toronto neck lift is the best procedure for you, surgery will be booked, and we’ll provide you with pre and postoperative instructions. You should follow these instructions as closely as possible, as they’ll help lead to optimal results.
Tip: Be as open and honest about your aesthetic goals as possible. Great communication with your surgeon always leads to the best results.
How is a Neck Lift Performed?
A neck lift procedure will take 2-3 hours to perform. We use a general anesthetic or local anesthetic with intravenous sedation. With two incisions located around the ears. Toronto neck lift surgeons, Dr. Golger and Dr. Romy lift the sagging neck tissue and trim away loose skin. With an additional incision beneath the chin, your plastic surgeon can also access and remodel the neck muscles, which is referred to as Platysmal Plication. This neck tightening strategy reduces a visible sign of aging known as “Turkey neck” for a smooth, youthful neck contour. Another possible technique they may use is liposuction, which can remove excess fat from the neck, permanently.
Neck Lift Recovery?
After completing your procedure, dressings are applied to the treatment area. We may prescribe an elastic garment for support and healing purposes that should be worn for the first few days, post-op. Any discomfort experienced can be managed with the prescription medication that we provide. You can expect to see some swelling and bruising, but these side effects will subside and you can appreciate the healed results of your neck lift within a few weeks.
The recovery time from a neck lift surgery can vary depending on the extent of the surgery. Patients can generally return to their normal routine within just 1-2 weeks.

The cost of your neck lift in Toronto can vary based on several different factors like the techniques used and whether or not your neck lift is combined with a facelift.

I wanted to share my amazing experience with Dr. Golger, Josie, and the rest of his team. From the second I met with Dr. Golger, at my initial appointment, I felt very comfortable and confident with my decision to have cosmetic surgery. I was very excited but nervous about my procedure and both Dr. Golger and Josie kept me at ease. The same night of my operation Dr. Golger called me to see how I was doing. Josie was available any time of day to answer any questions I had. the Saturday night after my surgery I texted Josie with an inquiry and she responded in seconds. Dr. Golger booked continuous follow-up appointments to see my progress and assured me everything was healing properly. I’m very happy and excited about my results and would refer my friends and family to Dr. Golger. Thank you again for everything you have done for me.
