Schedule your consultation with SOMA to explore your personalized neck lift plan in Pasadena.

What Is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance of the neck by tightening muscles, removing excess skin, and addressing fat deposits. It is often performed to enhance the transition between the jawline and neck.

At SOMA, neck lift procedures in Pasadena are customized to restore contour while maintaining a natural and balanced appearance.

Benefits of a Neck Lift

A neck lift offers both aesthetic and structural improvements.

  • Tightens loose or sagging neck skin.
  • Reduces the appearance of a double chin.
  • Improves jawline definition.
  • Smooths muscle banding in the neck.
  • Provides long-lasting, natural-looking results.

What a Neck Lift Can Address

A neck lift is designed to improve concerns related to aging and contour in the neck area.

  • Loose or sagging skin that creates a less defined neckline, helping restore a smoother and firmer appearance.
  • Excess fat beneath the chin, improving overall contour and profile definition.
  • Vertical neck bands caused by muscle separation, creating a smoother neck appearance.
  • Loss of definition between the jawline and neck, enhancing overall facial balance.
  • Changes in neck contour that contribute to an aged or less refined appearance.

Neck Lift vs Facelift

A neck lift and facelift address different but related areas of the face. Your provider will determine the most appropriate approach based on your goals.

Neck Lift

Focuses specifically on the neck and jawline, improving contour beneath the chin.

Facelift

Addresses the lower face and midface, often including the jawline and cheeks.
