Refine your jawline with neck contouring surgery tailored to your anatomy.
Dr. Saiqa Khan, MD, FACS, addresses sagging neck skin, excess fullness, and platysmal banding with a tailored surgical approach designed to restore a smoother, more defined neckline.
About Neck Lift
Neck lift surgery is designed to address structural and surface changes in the neck, including skin laxity, excess fullness beneath the chin, and platysmal banding. Depending on your anatomy and the concerns being treated, surgery may involve skin redraping, muscle repair, fat reduction, or a combination of these techniques.
The goal is to create a smoother, more balanced transition between the face, jawline, and neck while keeping the treatment plan appropriate to your natural features.
- Full Neck Lift – A comprehensive approach that addresses skin, muscle, and fat
- Mini Neck Lift – A more limited approach for earlier signs of aging
- Platysmaplasty – Muscle repair to soften vertical neck bands
- Submental Liposuction – Fat reduction beneath the chin for improved definition
- Loose neck skin
- Visible platysmal bands
- Fullness beneath the chin
- Reduced jawline definition
- A heavier or less defined neck contour
- Facelift – For more comprehensive lower face and neck rejuvenation
- Chin Augmentation – To improve profile balance in select cases
- Fat Grafting – To restore volume where appropriate
- Renuvion – For skin tightening when suitable
During consultation, Dr. Khan evaluates skin quality, fat distribution, muscle tone, and the relationship between the lower face and neck. Based on that assessment, she may recommend a full neck lift, a more limited neck lift, platysmaplasty, submental liposuction, or a combined approach when appropriate.

Why Patients Choose Neck Lift
Patients often consider neck lift surgery when changes in the neck no longer respond to skincare, injectables, or other nonsurgical treatments. Common concerns include loose skin, visible vertical bands, fullness beneath the chin, and a less defined transition between the jawline and neck.
A consultation helps determine whether these concerns are related to skin laxity, fat distribution, muscle banding, or a combination of factors. That distinction matters because the right treatment plan depends on the underlying anatomy, not just the visible concern.
"Dr. Khan gave me back my jawline and improved the loose skin and neck contour that made me avoid profile photos. Now I feel confident from every angle, and the results look completely natural."

The Empowered Approach
Anatomy-Led Planning
Dr. Khan evaluates the neck in relation to the jawline, chin, and lower face, so the surgical plan is based on the full facial profile rather than on a single isolated concern.
Scar Minimization
Incisions are planned in discreet locations, such as behind the ears, within natural creases, or beneath the chin when needed. Scar visibility varies based on your anatomy, the technique used, and how you heal.
Technique Selection
The approach may include skin redraping, platysmal muscle repair, fat reduction, or a combined plan, depending on the degree of skin laxity, banding, and submental fullness.
Natural Movement
The procedure is planned to support neck contour while preserving comfortable movement and avoiding an over-tightened appearance.
