“I want to sing the praises of Dr. Singer who performed my neck lift and rhinoplasty. He and his wonderful team were excellent at taking care of me through the process and seeing me and calling me to make sure I was ok. I had minimal pain and bruising and felt good a week later. I have had plastic surgery before and I can say Dr singer and his team went far and beyond anywhere else I've ever been. I am so happy with my results. Thank you so much for everything. Ill be back.”

How Dr. Singer Achieves Results What Your Surgery May Involve
Dr. Singer will tailor your neck lift procedure to your anatomy, goals, and the elasticity of your tissue. He will use the most appropriate plastic surgery procedure with the smallest incisions to balance your ideal aesthetic with a natural look. Your procedure may involve:
Liposuction
Liposuction is a body sculpting surgery that removes fat from localized areas of the body. If you’re concerned with excess fat under your chin or a double chin, Dr. Singer can use liposuction to reduce the fullness and reshape the area for a sleeker neck and more defined jawline.
Minimal Incision Neck Lift
A minimal incision neck lift procedure smooths the neck through a small incision beneath the chin. It’s typically reserved for patients who need a minimal amount of lifting and tightening. With a smaller incision, the procedure is faster and recovery is easier.
Limited Lower Face Neck Lift
A limited lower face neck lift may be a better option if your neck requires more attention than a minimal incision neck lift can provide, and you’re also concerned about signs of aging in your lower face region. In this procedure, Dr. Singer has better access to remove more skin through a small incision under the chin and incisions placed behind the ears where they’re less noticeable.
Chin Implant
In addition to your neck lift, Dr. Singer can place a chin implant if you have a small or “weak” chin. This can improve the shape and projection of your chin for a more balanced jawline and facial profile.
Recovering After Neck Lift Surgery
All patients are provided with comprehensive aftercare instructions after surgery so you know what to expect as you recover. Your instructions will include:
Get Plenty of Rest
Be sure to get plenty of rest after your procedure in San Diego. Patients typically feel comfortable returning to nonstrenuous work (a desk job) one to two weeks after their surgery. Limit all heavy lifting for several weeks.
Manage Side Effects
Side effects like swelling and bruising are normal and should subside over time. To minimize swelling, keep your head and neck elevated above your heart. You should also minimize your neck movements and avoid turning your head.
Take Medication as Prescribed
Dr. Robert Singer may prescribe pain medication to help keep you comfortable throughout your recovery. Be sure to take it as prescribed and take no more than you need. You can also use over-the-counter pain medication.
Concerned About Facial Aging? Combine Your Neck Lift With a Facelift
A neck lift can be performed on its own, but Dr. Singer often combines the procedure with a facelift for truly stunning results. In fact, most of Dr. Singer’s facelift patients choose to receive a neck lift as well for a full facial rejuvenation.
While a neck lift may be a great choice if you simply wish to reduce fullness under your chin, a combination procedure may yield better results if your main concern is signs of aging like sagging jowls and loose skin.
FAQ About Neck Lifts
Does neck lift surgery hurt?
Your neck lift in La Jolla, CA, will be performed under general anesthesia for your complete comfort. Discomfort can then be managed with prescribed medication or over-the-counter pain relievers.
What is the best age for a neck lift?
There is no “best age” for a neck lift, but patients are often between the ages of 35 and 65. If you meet the candidacy requirements and have concerns that could be corrected with a neck lift, like a double chin, neck bands, or sagging skin, now might be the best time for a neck lift.
What if a neck lift isn’t enough?
If a neck lift isn’t enough to address your concerns, Dr. Singer can inform you of your options. Many patients combine their neck lift with a facelift, brow lift, dermal fillers, or other procedures. What’s best for you will depend on your goals, skin elasticity, and other factors.
