Restore a Sculpted, Youthful Neck Profile

At Holcomb–Kreithen Plastic Surgery & Medspa in Tampa, we offer customized neck lift surgery to address common concerns such as sagging skin, jowls, submental fullness, and the loss of a clean jawline. Whether you're noticing the early signs of a double chin or more advanced laxity in the neck area, our surgical solutions are designed to restore the defined cervicomental angle that contributes to a youthful, balanced profile.

What Is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift, also called neck contouring, is a cosmetic procedure that refines the jawline and smooths out sagging or excess skin under the chin and neck. At our Tampa location, this procedure is commonly performed on its own or alongside complementary surgeries such as a facelift or chin augmentation. Our surgeons use techniques that may include:

Liposuction to remove unwanted fat under the chin
Platysmaplasty to tighten the underlying neck muscle
Skin excision and repositioning to remove lax or sagging tissue
Laser-assisted contouring for precision sculpting

Why Consider a Neck Lift?

With time, the neck is one of the first areas to show visible aging. Factors like weight fluctuations, genetics, and gravity can all contribute to:

Loose, hanging neck skin ("turkey neck")
Softened or drooping jawline
Double chin or submental fullness
Prominent neck bands (platysma bands)
Loss of neck definition despite healthy body weight

If these concerns are affecting your confidence, a neck lift may be an ideal solution.

Benefits of a Neck Lift

Creates a more youthful and sculpted neck profile
Enhances jawline definition and reduces jowls
Restores skin firmness and tightens neck muscles
Can be combined with other procedures for a comprehensive rejuvenation
Typically performed under IV sedation with minimal scarring

Types of Neck Rejuvenation Offered in Tampa

Submental Liposuction

Best for patients with good skin elasticity but stubborn fat beneath the chin. A small cannula is used to gently suction fat and refine the jawline.

Laser-Assisted Neck Contouring

Using AccuSculpt or SmartLipo laser technology, this technique emulsifies fat and stimulates collagen, tightening the skin as fat is removed.

Submentoplasty

Involves tightening the platysma muscle and removing small amounts of skin through an incision under the chin. Often paired with chin augmentation.

Full Neck Lift

A more comprehensive option that may include liposuction, platysmaplasty, and surgical skin repositioning. Ideal for patients with more advanced laxity or “turkey neck.”

Recovery After Neck Lift Surgery

After your neck lift in Tampa, you’ll be able to return home the same day. Most patients can expect:

Initial recovery: 10–14 days
Bruising and swelling: Common for the first week; gradually subsides
Activity restrictions: Avoid strenuous activity for 2–3 weeks
Support garment: May be worn to assist healing and minimize swelling

Full results appear as the swelling continues to resolve over several weeks, revealing a defined and youthful neckline.

Am I a Candidate for a Neck Lift?

You may be a great candidate for a neck lift in Tampa if you:

Have excess fat, sagging skin, or loose muscles in the neck
Are in generally good health and a non-smoker
Have realistic expectations and want natural-looking improvement
Are not seeing the results you want from diet or skin-tightening treatments

Dr. David Holcomb and Dr. Marc Salzman will assess your anatomy and goals during your consultation to determine if a neck lift is the right procedure—or if a non-surgical alternative may be better suited.
